K V Fire - A major Force in the International Marketplace
Today, its key markets include the petrochemicals industry, defence, aviation, power generation, manufacturing industries, maritime applications and both municipal and industrial fire and rescue organisations. In addition to its core products of powders and foam concentrates, the company’s expanding portfolio includes: portable fire extinguishers; foam production, storage and delivery hardware; and the latest development – water mist technology.
The K V Fire Chemicals foams offering includes, among many others: AFFF concentrates; Class A concentrates; an HEF concentrate developed specifically for fighting engine room and aircraft hangar fires; and a Class K foam for oil and fat fires. In terms of foam generation and delivery hardware, the company’s comprehensive line-up embraces: foam makers; sprinklers; chambers; bladder tanks; and bladder proportioners. The company also manufactures a mobile foam delivery unit that comprises a foam inductor, foam branch pipe, a concentrate storage tank and two lengths of fire hose.
The current widely-approved dry powder offering from K V Fire Chemicals includes the UL Classified KV Lite POWEREX, which is now used extensively by its customers in portable fire extinguishers, fixed delivery systems and power cannons. The company’s portable fire extinguisher range includes both standard fire risk and special application models that are UL-listed and come with a six-year guarantee.
The latest addition to the K V Fire Chemicals portfolio is a water mist system – the K V Fire Ultra Mist system – which is available as a portable 15-litre (30kg) back-pack system or 50-litre (100kg) trolley-mounted unit. Both of the low pressure systems are dual mode and can deliver the water mist as either a jet or a fog.
This clean agent water mist system reflects the company’s on-going commitment to developing, manufacturing and marketing fire suppression and fire extinguishing solutions with the least possible negative impact on the environment. It also reinforces the company’s growing international reputation for manufacturing excellence and producing systems and products that represent value for money, robustness and low in-use cost.
