1. General Introduction to the Tomoken ABC Powder Fire Extinguisher (35 kg)
1.1. Product Characteristics
- The Tomoken 35 kg ABC powder fire extinguisher uses silicone-based fire extinguishing powder (BC or ABC powder) and is sealed to prevent moisture and clumping, ensuring long storage life and safety.
- The storage temperature ranges from -10°C to 55°C.
- When discharged, the pressure remains relatively stable, providing a long effective firefighting duration.
- The extinguishing powder is non-toxic and harmless to humans, livestock, and the environment.
1.2. Product Features
- This extinguisher is suitable for extinguishing most fires involving solid materials, flammable liquids, and gases.
- It uses non-toxic, non-conductive extinguishing powder, making it highly effective.
- The product is a wheeled fire extinguisher, easy to operate and check, designed for medium to large fires compared to smaller handheld extinguishers.
1.3. Application Range
- The Tomoken 35 kg powder fire extinguisher is a reliable and safe firefighting device with simple operation and high extinguishing efficiency.
- The ABC powder extinguisher can extinguish most types of fires involving solids, liquids, and gases.
- The BC powder extinguisher can also extinguish most liquid and gas fires, but is less effective on solid fires.
- It can extinguish electrical fires with a current of up to 380V.
- It is not recommended to use powder extinguishers on high-precision equipment fires.
- The extinguisher is suitable for cases involving petroleum and petroleum product fires.
1.4. Advantages of the Tomoken ABC 35 kg Fire Extinguisher
- The materials used in the construction of the Tomoken powder fire extinguisher are of the highest quality, enhancing longevity and safety during operation.
- The welding is performed using automatic CNC technology, ensuring stability in harsh environmental conditions.
- The extinguisher is coated with a powder finish applied by robots, with a lifespan of over 5 years. The pressure-retaining valve is made from chrome-plated brass alloy, preventing rust and corrosion throughout its lifespan.
2. Structure of the Tomoken 35 kg Fire Extinguisher
- The dry powder fire extinguisher comes in two types:
- Type with a separate propellant cylinder: The propellant cylinder can be placed inside (MF type – China) or outside the powder cylinder (OPX type – Russia).
- Type without a separate propellant cylinder: The gas is directly charged into the powder cylinder (MFZ type – China).
- The dry powder fire extinguisher from China, designated as MFZ (BC) or MFZL (ABC), is highly mobile and uses nitrogen (N2) gas to expel the powder. The cylinders are made from pressure-resistant steel.
- The propellant gas is connected to the powder cylinder via a siphon tube.
- The propellant gas is typically nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or halogenated hydrocarbons.
- The valve assembly is attached to the lid and can be removed for refilling powder and gas after use.
- The locking valve can be a squeeze valve or a screw valve, and it is sealed with a lead seal.
- The pressure gauge may be included (MFZ type – China) or not (MF type – China).
- The nozzle can be made of metal, plastic, or rubber, with sizes depending on the type of extinguisher. The extinguisher is painted red with labels indicating its features and usage instructions.
3. Usage and Maintenance Instructions
3.1. Maintenance of the Tomoken 35 kg Powder Fire Extinguisher
- Store in a visible and accessible location for easy firefighting.
- Place in a dry, well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight and strong thermal radiation, with a maximum temperature of 50°C. If stored outdoors, it should be sheltered.
- Handle with care during transport. Avoid direct exposure to high temperatures and vibrations.
- Regularly check the extinguisher according to the manufacturer's guidelines or at least every 3 months. If the gauge needle is below the green line, it must be recharged.
- After opening the valve, the extinguisher must be refilled. Before refilling, remove any sealing components and clean any powder residue.
- If there is still pressure, reduce it by slowly squeezing the valve to release gas until the gauge reads zero. If a hissing sound is heard, stop immediately and check.
- Before each new gas refill and after 5 years of use, the cylinder must undergo hydraulic testing to ensure it meets the required strength, with a minimum of 30 MPa.
- Check the propellant gas through the pressure gauge or by weighing and comparing it to the initial weight.
- Check the powder weight by weighing and comparing it.
- Inspect the nozzle and spray horn.
3.2. Usage Instructions
For handheld extinguishers:
- Move the extinguisher close to the fire.
- Shake it a few times if it is a powder extinguisher with a common propellant (MFZ).
- Pull the safety pin.
- Aim the nozzle into the wind towards the base of the fire.
- Hold the extinguisher at a distance of 4 to 1.5 m, depending on the type.
- Squeeze the valve to release the extinguishing powder.
- As the pressure decreases, move closer and sweep the nozzle back and forth to completely extinguish the fire.
For wheeled extinguishers:
- Push the cart to the fire location, pulling the hose to direct the powder.
- Pull the safety pin, and position the valve perpendicular to the ground.
- Firmly hold the nozzle, choose the wind direction, and squeeze the trigger to release the powder.
