In kitchen environments, we most often deal with fires involving liquids, oil and fats. In many cases, gas extinguishers are placed in these places, as well as powder extinguishers. If you don't have to, don't! The EN3 standard also prohibits this.
In the case of gas extinguishers, oil or grease will flash back when the extinguishing gas evaporates, and powder extinguishers are not suitable due to their characteristics. It has no cooling effect. When using the powder extinguisher, it is also necessary to consider that the entire kitchen must be disinfected. Even for a small fire, this means a whole day of downtime and extraordinary costs. The solution is the ABF foam extinguisher.
These devices can also be placed in restaurant areas, as they are also suitable for extinguishing solid, liquid and liquid substances. But if more power is needed, a traditional foam extinguisher can also be used.
