Automatic fire extinguisher

Foam extinguisher

For the Kuwait-based Sabah al-Ahmad Center we have thoroughly translated a number of patented ideas into prototypes. Some of these ideas had no technical detailing at all. The grenade-style fire extinguisher is one of these projects.

Difficult to reach spaces

When a fire is blazing in a confined space it can be too hot to approach. The idea of this patent is an extinguisher that is thrown into the fire. It then always straightens itself, triggers through a heat sensor and starts tempering the flames, allowing for people to enter the space and either move to safety or further put down the fire.

From patented idea to working prototype

Self-straightening

Easy to grab in emergencies

Technical challenges

It is essential that the extinguisher lands upright, so that the sprinkler head  can distribute the extinguishing agent optimally. We achieved this with clever weight distribution and ingenious pressure vessels. Thanks to the handle, which is accessible from all sides, and the simple hanging system, the extinguisher is easy to grab and throw in case of a hard-to-reach fire.

First time right

Because the prototypes had to be ready within 5 months, there was little room to redo things. Thanks to the lean process, quick decision-making and close cooperation with our suppliers, the set of prototypes were finished nicely on time. All fully operational and safety checked.
