VIRTUALLY a one-man fire engine, a larger portable dry powder extinguishing unit than any made before, is announced by Nu-Swift International Ltd. It is the Twin-Thirty unit, Model 1660, contains 60 lb. of dry powder which is a non-conductor of electricity, non-toxic, non-corrosive, and non-abrasive.
The extinguisher operates efficiently at temperatures from —40°F (-4.5°C), to 140°F (60°C), claim the makers. Basically it is two 30 lb. Capacity extinguishers which operate simultaneously, the 60 lb. of powder being discharged in only 30 seconds at 2 lb. per second. A strong steel trolley forms part of the unit, making it easy to manoeuvre.
