  • Whether you’re looking to retrofit your existing sprinkler system to make it more effective or install a custom solution, we believe OFB CAFS is the answer you’ve been searching for.
  • OFB CAFS can be pre-aspirated or filled with fire-fighting chemical to be inducted direct into a main the firewater line of an existing fixed sprinkler system. It has no internal moving parts and is simple to use, requiring little training. It requires relatively low maintenance and can be easily and quickly refilled.
  • Since 2008 a 500 litre OFB CAFS has been used to protect 2000 SQM of tyre warehousing in Australia by retro fitting to their existing fire sprinkler systems.
  • OFB CAFS fixed fire-fighting system has met the requirements of Australian manufacturing as well as fire department and insurance company standards. OFB CAFS fixed fire-system has revolutionised the effectiveness of sprinkler systems worldwide across ALL industries. Existing sprinkler systems are often designed to merely contain fires,whereas the OFB CAFS Sprinkler System is designed to extinguish fires.
  • OFB CAFS can be retrofitted to ANY existing sprinkler system. We can also design and install a custom solution for any new project.
  • OFB CAFS are simple to use and meet Australian standards
  • OFB CAFS are ideal for fixed infrastructure fire-fighting systems as they can be pre-aspirated or filled with fire-fighting chemical and inducted directly into a main water line of an existing fixed sprinkler system. They have no internal moving parts, are simple to use and require relatively little training.  OFB CAFS require relatively little maintenance and can be easily and quickly refilled.
  • Since 2008 OFB CAFS has been used to retrofit to fire sprinkler systems in a major industrial buildings in Australia. OFB CAFS fixed fire-fighting system has met the requirements of the Australian manufacturing as well as fire department and insurance company standards. A 2014 Fire Department inspection of the installed OFB CAFS fixed system resulted in high commendation from both the inspector and the business.
  • OFB CAFS is in use in a mine in Northern Queensland – installed underground to protect high volatile areas such as tyre stores and fuel bays.  
  • OFB CAFS is used at the gas fields to protect a vital pump station controlling gas distribution and with key facilities in the Queensland cotton industry.
  • OFB CAFS has also been specified for use in a European vehicular tunnel.
  • Need a fire-fighting solution you can trust on your vessel?  We believe OFB CAFS is the answer. 
  • OFB CAFS are ideal for fixed vessel applications as they use very little water and can use fresh, salt or brackish water.
  • In 1999 a 150 litre OFB CAFS fixed system was installed on the Jamaican registered ship “The Baltimore Patriot”, where it protected it engine room during it’s service in the Bahamas.  It’s CAFS fixed system was tested and the ship declared sea-worthy by Lloyds of London.  The ship now operates as a North American Ferry. 

OFB CAFS comes into its own where there is limited water supply, as it has its own water  storage reservoir enabling, for example a 1,000-litre system to produce 30,000 litres or more of foam. Another key feature is that it enhances the capacity to extinguish a fire, where-as a sprinkler system that uses water is likely to merely contain or delay the escalation of the fire.  Additionally, its non-toxic characteristics mean that post-fire clean-up is more manageable and limited by comparison and avoids post-fire toxic water causing property damage and adverse ecological and environmental damage.
