Dry Chemical Fill System Clip

[@swadams79getz85]

Brenly, we would not recommend discharging a 150lb cylinder into the 150lb hopper for several reasons. A 450lb fill system would be the most appropriate system.

[@dmfiresafety9527]

After you have discharged the extinguisher into the hopper, what do you do with the remaining little bit of powder left in the bottom ?

[@swadams79getz85]

The remaining powder can be removed by our Hydro Aid 3G0047 which will blow/vac the left over powder into a shop vac or Powder Recovery device 3G0161 which will put the left over powder back into the hopper

[@hydrogaming1781]

Flip it up and down multiple times (fluff) turn it upside down hit with a rubber mallet gently. If you have a air hose around blow it out

Are the Getz Equipment transfer machines a venturi type vacuum? If so have you ever considered using a medical vacuum pump? They are much quieter.

The audio in the video is not representative of the system, as the exhaust hood is the source of the majority of the noise in the video.

Ernie, it is perfectly safe to discharge any quantity of extinguishers in that time period. On a daily basis our shop discharges 40 to 50 extinguishers in a hours time and they work in an enclosed room.

[@ernie5187]

So its safe to discharge the nitrogen gas inside the extinguisher directly into an enclosed room? What if you did 30 or 40 extinguishers in a 4 or 5 hours. Is it safe to discharge the nitrogen indoors? Thanks for any info

CAn you discharge a 150lb cylinder ?

How to nitrogen out?

[@getzequipmentinnovators7161]

There is a filter on top of the unit which allows the nitrogen to escape.

According to Code and UL, you should not mix powders from other Fire Extinguishers manufacturers or models?

[@getzequipmentinnovators7161]

John, that is correct, it does state that you should not mix powders from other manufacturers. The problem is so many people do not follow that rule, so if you are servicing a unit that has already been serviced, you have no idea of that rule has been followed.

@@getzequipmentinnovators7161 Thanks for your honest reply.. Fire Safety Code is written for a reason and seems like most ignore it, which endangers the public. What are your recommendations for code compliance?

[@getzequipmentinnovators7161]

@@johntabacek581 our recommendation is always to follow NFPA code, but your AHJ has the final say on how they enforce said code.
