ADVANTAGES<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n

Portability:<\/strong> The Macaw is a truly independent portable foam system that has the fire fighting capability of a small fire truck (1000 liter) in a one man backpack profile.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0Safe to Use:<\/strong> The Foam system is safe to use on electric\/electronic devices such as computers and its peripheral devices.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0The fluid tank is not pressurized, thus it will not burst when damaged. The carbon fiber wrapped cylinders used with the Macaw are rated and approved by the US Military based on very stringent safety tests; these cylinders can take a so-called \u201ctumbling .50 caliber shell\u201d which will simply deflate the cylinder without any explosion or shrapnel.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0Zero Wastage:<\/strong> Unlike conventional chemical fire extinguishers, the foam concentrate will not require yearly replacement. The concentrate can be stored indefinitely until mixed with water. In which case, the foam solution can be stored for 6 months without losing its potency.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0Multi-Purpose:<\/strong> The Macaw can be used for Firefighting, Decontamination and Hazardous Materials clean-up. The internal components of the Macaw have undergone specific material compatibility testing by US government agencies to make sure they can withstand the often caustic formulas used\u00a0for hazmat cleanup and decontamination.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0Extended Runtime:<\/strong> The Macaw runs 2.5 minutes in CAFS mode before emptying the 19 liter tank.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0Field Refillable:<\/strong> The Fluid Tank is not pressurized such that it can be refilled on the field. One Air cylinder fill will empty the Macaw 3-4 times. When the air cylinder is emptied, it can be replaced with another one which will allow another 3-4 fluid refills.<\/h4>\n

\u00a0Reliability:<\/strong> The Macaw was designed for simplicity and ruggedness. The US forces are using thousands of Macaws in theatre in Iraq for fire suppression. The fact that the units are holding up in an environment as relentless as the Middle Eastern desert for multiple years now, speaks for itself.<\/h4>\n
