AFEX is the most responsive and trusted vendor that I have. Josh Jones has bent over backwards to help me sell your products and has become a trusted colleague targeting organizations such as Kinder Morgan. I wanted you to know this because I have never in all my years had a vendor where I truly felt like a partner in growing sales and serving our customers. You should be very proud of your people. They are some of the very best, professionally and personally, that I've had the privilege of working with over my years. Thank you for making them available to me. I give you my promise that AFEX will always be a product that I try my hardest to sell. I know you have my back if I need help.
These types of systems work by flooding a volume of space, such as a vehicle engine compartment, with a the fire fighting agent to suffocate the flame.
The liquid agent works by cooling hot surfaces, separating fuel hydrocarbon molecules to prevent it from igniting, and forming a layer of foam to suffocate the flame.
Dual agent systems combine the flood area benefits of dry chemical with the surface cooling benefits of liquid agent and are the most effective way to address high fire risks.
Our Control Unit combines micro-processor technology with AFEX durability for the ultimate fire suppression system control and performance.
