Distribution
The AFEX system is widely known for its rugged stainless steel construction, designed to be as sturdy as the machine it is installed upon. Stainless steel tubing provides a clean and organized appearance that places the nozzles in fixed positions to best reach fire hazards without interfering with routine maintenance and operation of the machine. Once installed, the tubing is nearly maintenance free. Maintenance crews can avoid the time consuming hose replacements due to dry rotting and unlike hose, tubing does not tangle or intertwine among the many hydraulic lines.
The AFEX nozzle delivers broad distribution of the dry chemical agent, creating a "total flooding" system. A spring-loaded, hinged cap prevents clogging and makes old style "blow-off" caps obsolete.
Together, the stainless steel tubing and specialized nozzle provide a low maintenance, rugged, distribution network that guarantees efficient discharge of the fire suppression agent. It is no wonder so many heavy industries prefer our design.
