Nile Shield provides the BAVARIA Fire Shield ABF Fire Extinguisher, a portable 9-liter fire extinguisher specifically designed to combat fires involving vegetable cooking oils and fats. This makes it particularly suitable for protecting restaurant kitchens, hotels, tourist resorts, as well as vegetable oil and ghee manufacturing and storage facilities. The extinguisher uses BAVARIA RC50 liquid as the extinguishing agent, which, according to the product specifications, is suitable for Class A, B, and F fires.
The Fire Shield features a stainless steel body and operates using an external pressure cylinder filled with carbon dioxide (CO₂) to activate the extinguisher and discharge the extinguishing agent. It is also equipped with a high-pressure hose and discharge nozzle, allowing the user to efficiently direct the liquid and control the amount of extinguishing agent released during operation, providing practical and effective protection against cooking oil and kitchen fire hazards.
Nile Shield provides the BAVARIA Fire Shield ABF Fire Extinguisher, a specialized portable fire extinguisher designed to provide effective protection in applications exposed to vegetable cooking oil and fat fires. It is particularly suitable for protecting restaurant kitchens, hotels, tourist resorts, as well as vegetable oil and ghee manufacturing and storage facilities, where a suitable extinguishing agent is required to deal with fires involving burning oils and fats.
The Fire Shield extinguisher has a capacity of approximately 9 liters and uses BAVARIA RC50 liquid as the extinguishing agent. According to the technical specifications provided in the product documentation, the extinguishing agent is suitable for Class A, B, and F fires, including fires involving combustible solid materials, flammable liquids, and cooking oils and fats, which represent the primary application of this model.
One of the key features of the BAVARIA Fire Shield is its stainless steel body, giving the extinguisher a suitable appearance for use in hotels, restaurants, and tourist resorts, while also supporting its intended applications for extinguishing fires involving vegetable oils and fats as well as the solid and liquid materials specified in the product documentation.
The extinguisher operates using an external pressure cylinder system. The external cylinder contains carbon dioxide (CO₂), which acts as the propellant gas required to activate the extinguisher and discharge the extinguishing agent stored inside the main cylinder. This configuration differs from stored-pressure systems, as the operating pressure is supplied by a separate cylinder mounted alongside the main extinguisher body.
The extinguisher is also designed for convenient operation and allows the user to control the discharge of the extinguishing liquid intermittently and regulate the amount of liquid released during firefighting. This provides greater control over the extinguishing agent while directing it toward the affected area.
The unit is equipped with a high-pressure hose terminating in a discharge gun and nozzle manufactured from strong engineering materials that are electrically insulating and impact-resistant. The nozzle allows the extinguishing agent to be directed toward the required area. The extinguisher also features an electrically insulating and corrosion-resistant plastic base, together with a dedicated holder for securing the discharge nozzle when it is not in use.
The operating head incorporates a mechanical safety valve that automatically releases internal pressure if it rises above the permitted limit, forming an important part of the extinguisher’s operating and protection system.
According to the technical specifications, the extinguisher operates within a temperature range of -30°C to +60°C, has a test pressure of 35 bar, and a burst pressure exceeding 70 bar. The propellant cylinder contains approximately 200 grams of propellant charge and uses CO₂ as the propellant gas, while the total weight of the complete unit is approximately 18.5 kg.
The product documentation also states that the BAVARIA RC50 extinguishing agent is approved according to the German standards referenced in the brochure. The extinguisher is manufactured according to the harmonized European DIN/EN3 standards, with TÜV approval for pressure vessels, while the company’s laboratories are stated to be accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025.
By combining a 9-liter capacity, BAVARIA RC50 extinguishing liquid, stainless steel construction, an external CO₂ pressure cylinder system, a high-pressure hose, and a dedicated discharge nozzle for controlled and directed application, the BAVARIA Fire Shield ABF Fire Extinguisher provides a specialized solution for combating kitchen, cooking oil, and vegetable fat fires, while also supporting Class A, B, and F fire applications according to the product specifications.
Nile Shield is ready to help you choose the right system and protect your facility to certified codes.
