High Expansion Lance

High expansion lance is a specialized firefighting device that produces large volumes of foam to provide fast and effective fire suppression in large enclosed spaces.

Description

High Expansion Lance is a firefighting device that produces large volumes of light, expanding foam by mixing air, foam, and water. It is commonly used with foam generators or fan systems. Thanks to its high expansion ratio (typically between 200:1 and 1000:1), it rapidly covers large areas, cutting off oxygen to suppress fires.

It is especially effective in enclosed spaces—such as tunnels, underground parking lots, cable ducts, and hangars—where the large foam volume mixed with air provides efficient fire suppression.

Key Features:

  • Expansion ratio between 200:1 and 1000:1

  • Lightweight and portable design

  • Quickly cuts off oxygen contact with flames for extinguishing

  • Stainless steel or aluminum body

  • Compatible with foam concentrate systems

  • Available in handheld or fixed mounting options

Applications:

  • Electrical cable galleries

  • Warehouse fire safety

  • Aircraft hangars

  • Chemical manufacturing plants

  • Ship engine rooms

  • High-risk enclosed industrial areas
