CAFS (Compressed Air Foam System): Fixed , Portable

The most innovative, state of an art technical solution for all types of fires, considered as an excellent force multiplier in fire-fighting situations, is now offered by CHEKAD.

We offer you tailor made CAFS system according to your requirement in form of Portable or Fixed system.

 

Advantages include:

  • As the finished-foam stream contacts the burning fuel, it immediately begins penetrating the material to slow and then halt the combustion process;
  • Since combustion is stopped more quickly than it is when using plain water, the

development of heat and toxic by-products are reduced;

  • Water applied in the form of a finished-foam absorbs heat more efficiently, causing

temperatures to drop more quickly to reduce the likelihood of flashover;

  • Keeps the water where it’s needed on the vertical surfaces of the fuel and

compartment/structure so all of the water applied can absorb heat;

  • Since the penetrating ability of water is enhanced by the finished-foam, less water is

required to knockdown the fire;

 

 Benefits include:

  • Fire extinguished in less time;
  • Fire extinguished with less total water supply;
  • Reduced personnel stress from advancing lightweight compressed air foam-filled hose lines;
  • Reduced personnel stress due to quick extinguishment;
  • Firefighters have to spend less time performing overhaul operations;
  • Reduced personnel exposure to heat and the toxic products of combustion;
  • Reduced fire and water damage to structures;
  • More effective exposure protection applications;
  • Increased efficiency of personnel and available resources;
