Nile Shield provides the BAVARIA Ekteham Dry Chemical Powder Firefighting Trailers, high-capacity mobile firefighting systems that use multipurpose ABCDE dry chemical powder. They are specifically designed for rapid intervention and firefighting in high-risk and diverse environments, including major industrial areas, commercial and tourist complexes, as well as narrow and rural locations where conventional fire trucks may have difficulty gaining access.
The trailers are available in 250 kg and 500 kg capacities and operate using an external pressure cylinder system with nitrogen (N₂) as the propellant gas. Each model is equipped with two 20-meter discharge hoses and dedicated powder discharge guns, along with a robust chassis and towing system that allows the trailer to be transported behind a vehicle and quickly positioned at the fire location.
The BAVARIA Ekteham range combines high extinguishing capacity, convenient mobility, extended operating reach, and an integrated pressure and discharge control system, making it a practical solution for facilities and high-risk locations that require a greater level of fire protection and higher extinguishing capacity than conventional portable or wheeled fire extinguishers.
Nile Shield provides the BAVARIA Ekteham Dry Chemical Powder Firefighting Trailers, high-capacity mobile firefighting systems that use multipurpose ABCDE dry chemical powder. These trailers are specifically designed to provide high extinguishing capacity and rapid intervention in locations exposed to high and multiple fire risks. They provide a practical solution for facilities requiring firefighting equipment with greater capacity than conventional portable or wheeled fire extinguishers.
The Ekteham range covered in the product documentation is available in two main capacities: 250 kg and 500 kg of dry chemical powder. The Ekteham 250 / TORNADO CTR 250 model has a 250 kg capacity, while the Ekteham 500 offers a larger 500 kg capacity, allowing the appropriate trailer to be selected according to the level of fire risk and the protection requirements of the facility.
Both trailers use multipurpose ABCDE dry chemical powder, with Mono Ammonium Phosphate specified as the active ingredient. The operating system is based on an external pressure cylinder using nitrogen (N₂) as the propellant gas to provide the pressure required to operate the system and discharge the powder through the firefighting hoses.
The Ekteham 250 uses a 40-liter external pressure cylinder, while the Ekteham 500 is equipped with two 40-liter external pressure cylinders. The gas-cylinder test pressure for both systems is 250 bar, in accordance with the external pressure system specified in the technical documentation.
To provide an extended operating range during firefighting, each trailer is equipped with two 20-meter discharge hoses and two dedicated dry powder discharge guns. This configuration allows the extinguishing agent to be directed toward the fire from a suitable distance while providing a wide operating range around the trailer.
The operating system incorporates a network of valves and piping for pressure and discharge control. According to the technical specifications, each hose is equipped with two ball valves: the first is used for operation, while the second is used for cleaning and pressure release after use. The unit also incorporates two pressure-control valves, one for controlling cylinder pressure and another for controlling the internal pressure of the powder unit.
The powder unit itself is manufactured from high-strength steel, while the head assembly is manufactured from a nickel-chrome-plated brass alloy and incorporates a mechanical safety valve. The unit is chemically treated and finished in red in accordance with the technical design specified in the product documentation.
The powder unit has a test pressure of 35 bar, while its burst pressure exceeds 70 bar. It is also equipped with an upper opening for powder filling and a lower opening for maintenance, supporting inspection and servicing operations in accordance with the equipment design.
The chassis is another important feature of the Ekteham range. It is manufactured from steel beams covered with sheet-metal panels and incorporates a towing arm and hook that allow the trailer to be towed behind a suitable vehicle. The trailer also includes a rear stabilizing support to provide stability and balance during operation, along with an adjustable front jockey wheel equipped with a manual brake.
Chassis specifications vary according to trailer capacity. The 250 kg model uses a single axle with a 1-ton load capacity, while the 500 kg model uses a single axle with a 1.5-ton load capacity to accommodate its greater capacity. The chassis is also equipped with rear lighting units, a cable and connector for connection to the towing vehicle, as well as wheel fenders.
The trailers are specified for speeds of up to 80 km/h on asphalt roads, supporting transportation to the required location using a towing vehicle. As an additional feature, the sides of the trailer can be equipped with dedicated cabinets for the storage and protection of the discharge hoses.
The BAVARIA Ekteham firefighting trailers are primarily designed for rapid intervention in high-risk and diverse environments. Applications identified in the product documentation include major industrial areas, tourist villages, commercial complexes, informal settlement areas, and narrow or rural locations where conventional fire engines may have difficulty gaining access.
By combining 250 kg and 500 kg capacities, multipurpose ABCDE dry chemical powder, an external pressure-cylinder system, nitrogen propellant, two 20-meter discharge hoses, a towable chassis, and integrated pressure and discharge control systems, the BAVARIA Ekteham Dry Chemical Powder Firefighting Trailers provide a high-capacity mobile firefighting solution for large and high-risk locations requiring rapid deployment, extended operating reach, and substantial extinguishing capacity.
Nile Shield is ready to help you choose the right system and protect your facility to certified codes.
