Nile Shield provides the BAVARIA Ekteham Wheeled Dry Chemical Powder Fire Extinguishers, a range of wheeled firefighting units that use multipurpose ABCDE dry chemical powder and are designed to deliver high extinguishing performance in locations requiring powerful and rapid fire protection. The units operate using an external pressure cylinder with nitrogen (N₂) as the propellant gas, providing reliable and efficient performance during firefighting operations.
The Ekteham range is available in three different capacities: 25 kg, 50 kg, and 100 kg, providing suitable options for different levels of fire risk. The units are designed for easy movement and maneuverability thanks to their wheeled construction and can be efficiently operated by one person, with the ability to control both the quantity and direction of the discharged powder during firefighting.
These extinguishers are suitable for use in industrial and commercial areas, shopping centers, hotels, tourist facilities, fuel storage facilities, and various types of warehouses, particularly in high-risk locations where greater extinguishing capacity is required compared with conventional portable fire extinguishers.
Nile Shield provides the BAVARIA Ekteham Wheeled Dry Chemical Powder Fire Extinguishers, a range of wheeled firefighting units that use multipurpose ABCDE dry chemical powder and are designed to provide high extinguishing performance in industrial, commercial, and high-risk locations. These units operate with an external pressure cylinder, which provides the pressure required to discharge the extinguishing agent during operation.
The Ekteham range is available in three different capacities: 25 kg, 50 kg, and 100 kg, providing multiple options according to the size of the facility and the required level of fire protection. The approximate total weight of the Ekteham 25 is 90 kg, while the Ekteham 50 weighs approximately 122 kg, and the Ekteham 100 approximately 230 kg.
The units use multipurpose ABCDE dry chemical powder, with Mono Ammonium Phosphate specified as the active ingredient. According to the product documentation, the powder provides high extinguishing performance while maintaining good flow characteristics. It is resistant to caking and hardening, is not affected by moisture, and is suitable for long-term storage.
The Ekteham range uses nitrogen (N₂) as the propellant gas within the external pressure cylinder. The 25 kg and 50 kg models are equipped with a 3-liter external pressure cylinder, while the larger 100 kg model uses a 10-liter external pressure cylinder to accommodate its greater extinguishing-agent capacity.
One of the key advantages of these units is that they are designed to be efficiently operated by a single person while delivering high extinguishing capacity. The operating mechanism allows the user to control and direct the powder discharge toward the fire. The units are also equipped with a pressure-release valve and pressure gauge for monitoring pressure during operation, while the head assembly incorporates a mechanical safety valve.
The Ekteham range is designed for convenient movement and maneuverability. Each unit is mounted on two main rear wheels and a rotating front support wheel, helping the operator move and position the extinguisher efficiently. The wheel tires are manufactured from chemical-resistant rubber, supporting practical use in demanding industrial and commercial environments.
Hose length varies according to the extinguisher capacity. The Ekteham 25 and Ekteham 50 models are equipped with a 5-meter high-pressure hose designed to facilitate maneuverability, while the Ekteham 100 features a longer 10-meter hose, providing a greater operating range during firefighting operations.
The extinguisher body is manufactured from high-strength steel and is chemically treated before being finished with a 100% red electrostatic polyester coating. The head assembly is manufactured from a nickel-chrome-plated brass alloy and incorporates a mechanical safety valve, in accordance with the technical design specified in the product documentation.
According to the technical specifications, the units have a test pressure of 35 bar, while the burst pressure exceeds 70 bar. The documentation also states that the extinguishers are suitable for fighting fires involving electrical equipment up to 1,000 volts, provided they are operated from a minimum distance of one meter.
The BAVARIA Ekteham wheeled extinguishers are designed to serve as a rapid-response firefighting solution or as centralized or distributed firefighting points across different facilities. Their documented applications include industrial and commercial areas, shopping centers, tourist facilities, hotels, fuel storage facilities, and various types of warehouses. Their high extinguishing capacity and ability to be operated by one person also make them suitable for high-risk locations.
By combining 25 kg, 50 kg, and 100 kg capacities, multipurpose ABCDE dry chemical powder, an external pressure-cylinder system, nitrogen propellant, high-pressure discharge hoses, controlled powder discharge, and wheeled mobility, the BAVARIA Ekteham Wheeled Dry Chemical Powder Fire Extinguishers provide a practical solution for facilities requiring greater extinguishing capacity and a mobile firefighting unit that can be quickly positioned and operated during fire emergencies.
Nile Shield is ready to help you choose the right system and protect your facility to certified codes.
