When it comes to fire safety, Modi International (established in 2009) has positioned itself as a premier manufacturer and supplier of fire protection systems in India. Their fire extinguishers are engineered to meet both ISI and CE standards, ensuring that they are not just tools, but reliable lifelines during emergencies.
Below is a comprehensive guide to the fire extinguisher solutions provided by Modi International, categorized by type, application, and maintenance.
1. Primary Types of Fire Extinguishers
Modi International offers a versatile range of extinguishers designed to tackle different "Classes" of fire (A, B, C, and more).
ABC Dry Powder (Multipurpose)
This is the industry standard for general safety. It uses Mono Ammonium Phosphate powder to suppress flames.
Target Fires: Class A (Wood/Paper), Class B (Flammable Liquids), and Class C (Gases).
Key Features: Non-conductive (safe for electrical fires), available in portable sizes (1kg, 2kg, 4kg, 6kg, 9kg) and industrial trolley versions (50kg, 75kg).
Best For: Schools, offices, warehouses, and residential complexes.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
These extinguishers discharge a high-pressure cloud of CO2 gas that displaces oxygen and cools the fuel.
Target Fires: Class B and Electrical fires.
Key Features: Leaves zero residue, making it ideal for protecting sensitive electronics.
Best For: IT rooms, server rooms, labs, and electrical panels.
Mechanical Foam (AFFF)
Uses a film-forming foam to "smother" the fire and prevent re-ignition.
Target Fires: Class A and Class B (petroleum, oils, and spirits).
Key Features: Highly effective at sealing the surface of liquid fires.
Best For: Refineries, kitchens, and industrial manufacturing sites.
Clean Agent (Gas-Based)
A specialized extinguisher using eco-friendly gases that do not damage delicate equipment.
Best For: High-value asset protection like data centers and museums.
2. Advanced Suppression Systems
Beyond standard handheld cylinders, Modi International specializes in automated and specialized safety:
Ceiling Mounted Modular Units: These are "self-triggering" extinguishers. When the temperature reaches a specific threshold (usually 68°C), the glass bulb bursts, automatically discharging the agent. Perfect for unstaffed areas.
Fire Extinguisher Balls: A user-friendly option that can be thrown into a fire or mounted in high-risk zones. It self-activates on contact with flame, covering a 0.15-meter radius.
Lithium Battery Extinguishers: A modern necessity for the EV era, specifically designed to combat the intense chemical fires produced by lithium-ion batteries.
3. Technical Specifications & Quality
Modi International ensures durability through high-end manufacturing processes:
Construction: Cylinders are made from high-grade mild steel or stainless steel.
Corrosion Resistance: Coated with anti-corrosive epoxy powder for longevity in harsh environments.
Monitoring: Integrated pressure gauges allow for "at-a-glance" readiness checks.
Compliance: Products conform to IS 15683:2018 (the standard for portable fire extinguishers).
4. Maintenance and Services
A fire extinguisher is only useful if it works. Modi International provides end-to-end lifecycle support:
Refilling Services: Expert refilling for ABC, Foam, CO2, and Clean Agent types.
Annual Maintenance (AMC): Regular inspections to check pressure levels, nozzle integrity, and seal status.
Training: They provide hands-on training to ensure employees or residents know how to use the P.A.S.S. technique (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep).
