The POLY system is a purely mechanical system made up of three main components:

• Container with premix (water-foaming agent mixture) or admix (water and foaming agent are stored in separate tanks and are mixed at the system acitvation)
• FLASH CAFS central unit for the production of CAFS (compressed air foam)
• Compressed air bottles to drive the system and for foam expansion

The firefighting system functions completely self-sufficiently and requires no external energy – no pumps, engine or power. In this way the system can be upgraded very easily.

The system will be triggered automatically or via a fire detection system. Extinguishing agent output will then follow within seconds.

CAFS compressed air foam has an impressive foam quality and the highest extinguishing performance, even at low volume.

Under the influence of compressed air, a simple water-foam mixture will be mixed in the FLASH CAFS central unit into highly efficient CAFS compressed air foam. The mixing chamber is protected against external influences. Thus fumes cannot effect foam build-up.

The air required for foam expansion will be provided by compressed air bottles. In this way the system requires no external energy - it is completely self-sufficient.

Benefits

CAFS enables fast and safe extinguishing for optimum plant protection.

• Consistently stable foam quality
• Foam sticks to hot surfaces - also vertically
• Rapid smothering of the flames through oxygen removal
• Deep penetration into the burning material by reducing the surface tension of water
• Increased burn-back safety and sustainable cooling through compact CAFS foam structure
• Lower application rates for efficient fire fighting and limiting water damage
• Extensive extinguishing agent quantity through active foam expansion to CAFS
