Fogmaker
Universal
Fogmaker is a registered trade mark for fire extinguishers used to protect engine compartments of
fork lifts, front loaders, forestry and construction machines, buses or other heavy vehicles, engine
compartments and cockpits of racing and rally cars, engine compartments of veteran cars, engine
and fuel tank compartments of leisure boats and other small boats.
Fogmaker Universal will work and discharge the extinguishant regardless of the position or angle
in which it is installed or hangs when it is activated. It uses a patented solution to offer a safer
function than traditional, bottle-type fire extinguishers. The difference is that traditional extinguishers
use a vertical evacuation pipe, which could reduce or completely take out the effect if the extinguisher
is activated when it is held or hangs in an upside down or close to horizontal position.
Fogmaker Universal is designed for do-it-yourself installation. It is easy to install and dismantle
for servicing or refilling. The extinguishant consists of water, an anti-freeze saline solution and a
film-forming chemical, which prevents reignition of any leaking fuel.
