The Fire Extinguisher Ball - A device utilizing a small non lethal explosive mechanism for use against Class A, B and C Fires.

A highly-innovative solution, the Fireball remains inert until it is exposed to an open flame, at which point it self-ignites and within 3 - 7 seconds bursts – noisily - and releases its load of mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) dry powder.

It has a five-year lifespan but requires no maintenance, refilling or servicing (including pressure testing). It is the perfect automatic fire guard: mount it above the most likely source of a fire and if there is a conflagration, it’ll do its job within seconds. It is the ultimate passive protection for a wide variety of environments and will do its job without any human intervention. No part of the device having sufficient mass or density to neither constitute a ballistic hazard nor be hazardous in concussive shock due to bursting effect.

It is perfect not only for semi-permanent installation on a wide variety of mechanical machinery, but also in server rooms, fuel stores, garages, and above electrical distribution boards. It weighs 1.3 kilograms and is sold with its own mounting bracket so that it can be easily attached to a wall.

The sound level when it explodes is between 119 and 127 dB, so it also acts as an early-warning system that something is amiss. The force of the bursting device is not harmful to humans, animals or property and further minimized through the use of low density/ low mass components. At less than R15 a month (before the recommended replacement date), it could be the cheapest insurance you’ll ever buy.
