Nile Shield provides the BAVARIA Ekteham Pre-Mix Foam Wheeled Fire Extinguisher, a wheeled firefighting unit that uses Pre-Mix Foam extinguishing agent and is designed to deliver high extinguishing performance, particularly against flammable liquid fires. It can be used as either a mobile or stationary firefighting point in fuel stations, petroleum companies, boiler rooms, and machinery areas.
The unit is available in 45-liter and 90-liter capacities and operates using an external pressure cylinder filled with nitrogen (N₂). It features a stainless-steel body, a high-pressure-resistant hose, and a dedicated discharge gun that allows the operator to direct the foam and control the amount and flow of the extinguishing agent during firefighting operations.
The BAVARIA Ekteham Foam is designed for efficient operation by a single person and is mounted on two main rear wheels and a rotating front support wheel for easy movement and maneuverability. It is also equipped with a pressure gauge for monitoring operating pressure and a pressure-release valve for use after operation, making it a practical solution for facilities requiring a high-capacity, mobile foam firefighting system that can be quickly positioned at the fire location.
Nile Shield provides the BAVARIA Ekteham Pre-Mix Foam Wheeled Fire Extinguisher, a wheeled firefighting unit that uses Pre-Mix Foam extinguishing agent and is designed to provide high extinguishing performance and rapid response, particularly against flammable liquid fires. The unit can be used as either a mobile or stationary firefighting point, making it suitable for locations requiring a high-capacity foam firefighting system with convenient mobility and maneuverability.
The extinguisher is available in two capacities: 45 liters and 90 liters, providing different options according to the size of the facility and the required level of fire protection. The approximate total weight of the 45-liter model is 123 kg, while the 90-liter model weighs approximately 237 kg. Hose length also varies according to capacity: the 45-liter model is equipped with a 5-meter hose, while the 90-liter model features a 10-meter hose, providing an extended operating range.
The unit uses a Pre-Mix Foam solution as its extinguishing agent, which, according to the product specifications, is suitable for fighting Class A and B fires. This makes the system suitable for dealing with combustible materials and flammable liquid fires within the classifications specified in the product documentation.
The BAVARIA Ekteham Foam operates using an external pressure cylinder filled with nitrogen (N₂). The 45-liter model is equipped with a 3-liter external pressure cylinder, while the 90-liter model uses a larger 10-liter pressure cylinder. The external pressure cylinder has a test pressure of 250 bar, according to the technical specifications provided in the product documentation.
The main extinguisher body is manufactured from stainless steel, while the head assembly is made from a nickel-chrome-plated brass alloy. The head assembly also incorporates a mechanical safety valve as part of the unit’s operating and safety system.
One of the key advantages of the unit is that it can be efficiently operated by a single person, while providing high extinguishing capacity. It is also equipped with a pressure-release valve for use after operation and a pressure gauge for monitoring pressure during operation, allowing the operator to monitor the system pressure while using the extinguisher and safely release pressure after firefighting operations are completed.
The unit is equipped with a high-pressure-resistant hose that provides greater flexibility and maneuverability around the fire area. It also features a dedicated discharge gun for directing the foam and controlling the quantity and flow of the extinguishing agent, giving the operator greater control when targeting the affected area.
The extinguisher is mounted on a chassis with two main rear wheels and a rotating front support wheel, a configuration designed to provide convenient movement and maneuverability when transporting the unit within a facility. The wheel tires are manufactured from rubber that does not react with chemicals, supporting the unit’s use in industrial and operational environments.
In terms of pressure specifications, both models have a test pressure of 35 bar, while the burst pressure exceeds 70 bar. The documentation also specifies an operating temperature range from -20°C to +60°C, with the addition of an anti-freezing agent when the extinguisher is used in cold countries.
The BAVARIA Ekteham Pre-Mix Foam is particularly suitable for fighting flammable liquid fires and can serve as a rapid-response firefighting solution through centralized or distributed firefighting points. The product documentation identifies applications including fuel stations, petroleum companies, boiler rooms, and machinery areas, where high extinguishing capacity and the ability to quickly move the unit to the hazard area are important.
The documentation also states that the unit is manufactured in accordance with the unified European standard DIN/EN 1866 and carries TÜV approval for pressure vessels, along with additional certifications and approvals listed in the product specifications.
By combining 45-liter and 90-liter capacities, Pre-Mix Foam extinguishing agent, an external nitrogen pressure-cylinder system, stainless-steel construction, a high-pressure hose, controlled foam discharge, and a wheeled mobile design, the BAVARIA Ekteham Pre-Mix Foam Wheeled Fire Extinguisher provides a practical, high-capacity firefighting solution for locations exposed to flammable-liquid fire risks and requiring a mobile, maneuverable foam extinguishing system.
