 Total
portables offer premium-brand performance
Tyco
Fire Suppression Group has launched an extensive new
range of portable extinguishers in the UK under the
TOTAL brand. They are available exclusively through
Express Fire in Manchester and CheckFire in Cardiff, and
from a country-wide network of approved TOTAL supply
partners that are trained to advise, install and
maintain the right extinguishers in peak condition. The
options include foam, water, dry powder and CO2 [carbon
dioxide] extinguishing agents.
Internationally-approved
and manufactured in Germany to the industry’s most
exacting standards, the range comprises models that are
suitable for Class A, B, C, D and F fires. The
 TOTAL
offering also includes several unique speciality
portable extinguishers, each of which is designed to
satisfy particular fire safety challenges or market
needs.
These specials include
powder portables for metal and coal fires; antimagnetic
CO2 portables for hospitals and clinics;
specially-formulated water portables for sawdust fires;
wet chemical portables for cooking oil and fat fires,
and purpose-designed foam portables for polar liquid
fires. Engineers at Tyco’s dedicated portables research
and manufacturing
facility in Neuruppin in Germany, where the TOTAL
portables are produced, have also devised a unique
“Tandem” portable / automatic extinguisher. This
doubles up as a fixed, automatic extinguisher for
protecting unattended fire risks.
However, what most exemplifies TOTAL portables is their
unrivalled build quality and meticulous attention to
detail. Virtually every stage of cylinder manufacture
is under TOTAL’s direct control, including material
selection and sourcing in Europe, the most advanced
low-heat plasma welding, fabrication, assembly and
high-performance powder-coating, cylinder pressure
testing and agent filling. This commitment to quality
is underpinned by uniquely numbering each and every
TOTAL cylinder to provide a complete and reliable
quality audit trail.
All
TOTAL portables are manufactured in the purpose-built
factory from specially formulated steel that remains
flexible after heating and welding. The
one-millimetre-thick internal powder coating is widely
recognised as the industry’s most hardwearing surface.
Every cylinder is electrode-tested to ensure that there
are no pin-point flaws in the coating, and the quality
of
 the finish can be judged by the fact that there is a
complete absence of
colour fading that is a common
feature of many inferior quality cylinders. Even the
cylinder wall-mounting brackets are designed to ensure
that there is no metal-to-metal or metal-to-wall
scuffing.
TOTAL
portables are guaranteed for five years, providing they
are serviced from new in accordance with the appropriate
regulatory standards.
