Completely self-contained. Redline extinguishers are filled with a variety of extinguishing agents. There's a Redline model for every class of fire. Ansel Redline hand portables come in four sizes.
5, 10, 20 and 30 pound models. The slim profile model 5 is typically used on vehicles and machinery where space is limited. The Model 10 is designed for high fire frequency areas in which light or ordinary fire hazards exist. It is ideal for remote locations where smaller fires occur and on-the-spot recharging is necessary.
Larger fires in high-risk areas require use of the Model 20, and the Model 30 is recommended for large intense fires that require maximum suppression power. The hand portable cartridge operated extinguisher has an agent tank with a separate compressed gas cartridge to expel the extinguishing agent. The extinguisher also has a guard to protect the cartridge, a carrying handle, the fill cap with an indicator, actuation lever and discharge hose and nozzle. The externally mounted pressure cartridge allows for easy removal and recharge.
This means you can fight a fire, recharge on the spot, and return to the fire all within minutes. The extinguisher nameplate also provides valuable information on the classes of fire the extinguisher is rated to suppress. The first symbol is Class A for ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, and cloth. The second symbol, Class B, signifies flammable liquids and gases.
Finally, the Class C symbol means that the agent inside this extinguisher is a non-conductor of electricity. Spill fires, fuel in-depth hazards, gravity-fed fires, and even pressure fire hazards are all possible. Are the types of large-scale Class B fires that Ansel Redline wheeled fire extinguishers are specifically manufactured to suppress? These rugged wheeled extinguishers are mobile and easy to operate.
In fact, they're fully operable by just one person. The highly maneuverable large diameter steel wheels make it easy for the unit to be moved to the source of the fire.

Another component of the wheeled unit is the expellent gas cylinder that uses nitrogen to discharge the dry chemical. Their standard is a 50-foot hose with a nozzle assembly, specifically designed to provide the correct flow rate. Ansell redline extinguishers are designed for maximum agent flow to allow for quick extinguishment of most industrial fires at the incipient stage.
There are instances where increased agent flow is crucial to suppression. such as pressurized flammable liquid and gas fires. Ansell high-flow extinguishers have been developed for these and other special hazards.
High-flow models are equipped with a special nozzle to maximize agent flow rate thereby amplifying fire knockdown power. An uncontrolled fire can and will cause serious damage. That's why we do our best to avoid these worst case scenarios by arming our operations with fire protection products.

Most industrial real-world fires involve obstacles and pressurized fuels. Fire extinguishers, however, earn their UL ratings in highly controlled settings, usually from their ability to put out fires in square test pans of various sizes. Rather than selecting your extinguisher solely on the highest UL rating, choose the one that's been engineered to fight real-world fires.
All fire extinguishers are designed for their specific application. This is particularly important because no two fires are exactly the same.
