How Automatic Fire Balls Work

The Science Behind Automatic Fire Extinguisher Balls

The Fire Ball contains specialized chemical compounds that activate within 3-5 seconds of flame contact, making it one of the fastest fire suppression systems available.

How It Works Step by Step

  • Temperature reaches 93°C (200°F)
  • The outer casing automatically ruptures
  • Chemical suppressant disperses throughout the space
  • Fire is extinguished within seconds

Fire Classes Covered

Unlike traditional extinguishers, the Fire Ball handles Class A (ordinary combustibles), Class B (flammable liquids), Class C (electrical fires), and uniquely Class D (metal fires).
