Fire extinguishers for burning fat

Grease fire extinguishers - advice, installation & maintenance

The grease fire extinguisher is used to extinguish fires of:

•  Fire class A: solid, predominantly organic substances, e.g. wood, paper, textiles.
• Fire class F: edible oils and fats.

The extinguishing agent of the fat fire extinguisher is a salt or foam solution, which is optimally specialised for extinguishing fat fires. Thus, the grease fire extinguisher is often used in bakeries, large kitchens, canteens, snack bars, restaurants or in the shipping industry.

Mode of action of grease fire extinguishers
Grease fire extinguishers with AF premix extinguishing agent saponify on contact with the burning grease and thus form a compact layer. In this way, the cooking oil or fat is cooled below the auto-ignition temperature and the oxygen supply is cut off at the same time. In this way, the mode of action of the grease fire extinguisher ensures that the fire does not burn up again or re-ignite.
