Fire Extinguisher Ball
A fire extinguisher ball is a small, throwable unit filled with A B C dry powder that bursts when it meets flame. This extinguisher ball weighs approx 1.3 kg and is rated for class A, B and C fires, so it can be tossed into a burning room or left mounted near a risk point. We make it in China as part of our fire fighting equipments range and ship it in single cartons or bulk lots.
How the extinguisher ball works
Units of this kind are usually fully automatic and self-activating. The mechanism is typically heat/fire-triggered burst activation: when flame reaches the shell, it breaks open and spreads the powder over the fire. No pin, lever or trained operator is needed, which is why buyers place them in spots people rarely watch.
The shell is typically a lightweight composite shell, and one ball commonly covers approx. 4-6 m² of fire area. Treat these as typical values for the type, not a promise for every batch. The specification table below lists the data we confirm for this model.
Where an extinguisher ball fits best
Most buyers use this ball as an extra layer next to hand-held units, not as a swap for them. Common places include:
- Electrical panels, meter boxes and server cabinets
- Kitchens, generator rooms and fuel stores
- Vehicles, boats and site cabins
- Storerooms that stay locked for long hours
For larger fires, a portable unit with more powder is still the main tool. The 11 kg DCP type fire extinguisher uses the same dry chemical powder in a hand-held body, while the ABC modular fire extinguisher is a fixed, ceiling-mounted option.
