A CAFS Water Mist Fire Extinguisher is an advanced hybrid firefighting unit that combines two distinct suppression technologies into a single agent system: Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) technology and fine Water Mist delivery — working simultaneously to attack fire on multiple fronts.
In a conventional water extinguisher, most of the water escapes the fire zone without fully evaporating — drastically limiting its cooling efficiency. A water mist fire extinguisher solves this by breaking water into ultra-fine droplets of approximately 50–150 microns in size. These microscopic particles have a vastly higher surface area than bulk water, allowing near-complete vaporisation within the fire environment — maximising the cooling and oxygen-displacement effect from the same volume of water.
CAFS technology enhances this further by introducing compressed air into the water-foam solution in a mixing chamber before discharge. This produces a dense, aerated foam with a tight bubble structure that adheres to both horizontal and vertical surfaces — blanketing the fuel, blocking oxygen, and reflecting radiant heat simultaneously.
The result is a fire suppression system that attacks all three sides of the fire triangle — heat, fuel, and oxygen — using a single, clean, non-toxic, and environmentally safe agent.
Ultra-fine water mist droplets absorb heat and convert to steam rapidly, cooling the fire zone
Compressed air foam creates an oxygen-excluding blanket over the fuel surface
CAFS has been shown to interrupt the chemical chain reaction sustaining combustion
This combination makes CAFS Water Mist technology between 15 and 30 times more effective than conventional water-based systems and 3 to 4 times more effective than standard aqueous foam systems.
The Savemax CAFS Watermist Backpack 9 Lt is a wearable, fully self-contained firefighting unit designed for rapid, hands-free deployment in confined spaces, forest environments, and locations inaccessible to wheeled equipment. The backpack form factor allows the operator to carry the full unit while directing the discharge gun toward the fire — freeing both hands for safe navigation of difficult terrain.
The 9-litre CAFS backpack produces compressed air foam mist through a high-technology discharge gun, breaking the solution into fine water mist droplets for maximum cooling and foam blanket coverage with minimal agent consumption.
Savemax manufactures four CAFS Water Mist Fire Extinguisher variants across two form factors — backpack and trolley — designed for different deployment scenarios, team sizes, and fire risk scales.

The Savemax CAFS Watermist Trolley 45 Lt is a mobile, wheeled CAFS Water Mist unit providing large-area fire suppression capability — combining the superior knockdown power of CAFS technology with the extended range and agent volume of a trolley-mounted platform. The trolley configuration allows deployment across large floor areas, construction zones, and open yards, with the full 45-litre agent charge available for sustained suppression of Class A, B, and F fires.
s that suppress fires through a combination of cooling and chemical chain interruption — without leaving any residue, water, or powder on sensitive assets. These are the preferred choice for heritage spaces, server infrastructure, medical devices, and wherever post-fire cleanup must be minimal.
| Capacity | 45 Litres |
| Configuration | Trolley Mounted — two-person deployment |
| Ideal For | Warehouses, construction sites, large commercial kitchens, hospitals, aircraft hangars, municipal emergency response |
| Key Advantage | High-volume water mist fire extinguishing system with CAFS enhancement — superior to foam-only trolleys for multi-class fire risk |
| Certifications | CPWD Approved | Euro Certified |
The Savemax CAFS Watermist Trolley 50 Lt is the highest-capacity CAFS Water Mist unit in the Savemax range — designed for large-scale suppression in the most demanding environments. The 50-litre agent charge delivers an extended discharge duration for wide-area Class A, B, and F fire control, making it the standard specification for airports, large industrial plants, and municipal fire tenders requiring a high-endurance mobile CAFS water mist fire extinguishing system.
| Capacity | 50 Litres |
| Configuration | Trolley Mounted — two-person deployment |
| Ideal For | Airports, large warehouses, oil and gas facilities, large-campus healthcare, stadium and event venues, disaster response staging areas |
| Key Advantage | Maximum CAFS Water Mist capacity in the Savemax range — the benchmark for large-area multi-class suppression |
| Certifications | CPWD Approved | Euro Certified |
Understanding why CAFS Water Mist technology outperforms conventional extinguishers is critical when specifying fire protection for sensitive or high-value environments.

NOTE : CAFS Water Mist systems are also considered safe to use near energised electrical equipment (Class C/E) due to the low-pressure, non-conductive nature of the fine mist — however, always consult your fire safety consultant for site-specific electrical safety clearance before specification.
Savemax CAFS Water Mist Fire Extinguishers are effective across multiple fire classes — a key advantage over single-class conventional agents:
Every Savemax CAFS Water Mist Extinguisher carries CPWD approval — qualifying for Central Government, PSU, defence, and infrastructure project specifications — and Euro certification, confirming performance to European fire extinguisher benchmarks. This dual certification makes Savemax the preferred supply source for both domestic government projects and internationally specified EPC contracts.
Unlike distributors who aggregate products from multiple third-party sources, Savemax manufactures its CAFS Water Mist range at its own production facility at Kundli Industrial Estate, Sonipat — ensuring quality consistency, traceability, and faster turnaround on bulk and project orders.
With four variants covering 9 Lt through 50 Lt across two form factors, Savemax provides the complete CAFS Water Mist extinguisher range from a single manufacturer — simplifying procurement, documentation, and AMC management for facility managers and project contractors.
Whether you are specifying a single backpack unit for a boutique heritage hotel or 200 trolley units for an airport infrastructure project, Savemax supports full project supply with documentation, test certificates, and delivery coordination across India.
CAFS stands for Compressed Air Foam System. Unlike a standard water extinguisher that discharges a stream of bulk water, a CAFS system mixes water, foam concentrate, and compressed air in a chamber before discharge — producing a fine, aerated foam mist. This combination is 15 to 30 times more effective than water alone, adheres to surfaces, reflects radiant heat, and works across Class A, B, and F fires without leaving damaging chemical residue.
Yes. CAFS Water Mist extinguishers use a non-toxic, fine water-based mist that poses no inhalation hazard and leaves minimal residue — making them suitable for use in hospitals, patient wards, and areas with sensitive electronic equipment. However, always confirm with your fire safety consultant for site-specific electrical clearance before specifying for live electrical environments.
As per IS 2171 and fire safety regulations in India, portable fire extinguishers should be inspected every 6 months and undergo full refilling and pressure testing annually
Both are wearable, single-operator portable CAFS systems. The 9 Lt is the standard deployment unit for rapid initial response, while the 12 Lt provides a longer discharge duration — suited for sustained field operation in forest fire response, large heritage properties, and remote industrial sites where recharging is not immediately possible.
. Savemax offers AMC (Annual Maintenance Contract) services for regular maintenance, inspection, and refilling.
A water mist fire extinguishing system works by breaking water into ultra-fine droplets of 50–150 microns in size. These microscopic particles have a dramatically larger surface area than bulk water, allowing near-complete vaporisation within the fire environment. This rapid evaporation absorbs enormous amounts of heat, displaces oxygen through steam expansion, and creates a thermal radiation barrier — all simultaneously. When combined with compressed air foam (as in Savemax’s CAFS Water Mist range), the system also creates a surface-blanketing foam for fuel suppression.
Yes. The Savemax CAFS Watermist Backpack in 9 Lt and 12 Lt configurations is specifically suited to forest and wildland fire response. The backpack form factor allows a single firefighter to carry and operate the unit while navigating uneven terrain, and the CAFS foam clings to tree bark, branches, and vegetation — slowing fire spread far more effectively than water spraying.
