Badger Brigade Carbon Dioxide Expellant Cartridge Extinguishers
High-Performance Fire Protection for Industrial and High-Hazard Applications
The Badger Brigade Carbon Dioxide Expellant Cartridge Operated Fire Extinguishers are designed for high-hazard environments where rapid response, reliable performance, and rugged durability are essential. Engineered for demanding industrial applications, these extinguishers deliver powerful fire suppression using a cartridge-operated system that enables consistent discharge performance and field serviceability.
Unlike stored-pressure extinguishers, Brigade models use a CO₂ cartridge as an expellant to discharge dry chemical agent, providing enhanced reliability, consistent pressure, and the ability to recharge units quickly in the field.
Part of the Badger Fire portfolio within KiddeFenwal, Brigade extinguishers are built to withstand harsh environments while delivering dependable protection across a wide range of industrial fire risks.
