THE USER-FRIENDLY FIRE-FIGHTNING DOSING SYSTEM

1. EASY TO INSTALL

• Driven by the water flow only.

• Compact and with comparably low weight.

• No additional parts or external energy needed.


2. EASY TO USE

• Simple mechanical self-regulating system.

• Wide flow and pressure range.

• No calibration needed.


3. ECONOMICAL

• Accurate proportioning - optimum use of foam concentrate.

• Easy maintenance, easy regular testing.

• Low life-time cost.


For fixed installations For mobile use


In industrial applications Installed in Fire Trucks

Adaptable for customized applicationsFor use in Fire Brigades


• The dosing is proportional to flow rate and virtually

independent of pressure variations. This gives a steady

admixture.

• Available in different flow sizes; from 400 up to 12.000 lpm,

with fixed dosing alternatives; 0,5%, 1%, 2%, 3% or 6% or

selectable.

• Consists of a robust hydraulic water motor and a strong

industrial gear pump, both of displacement type, linked

mechanically by a direct drive coupling.


Function principle

The water flow goes through the FIREMIKS water motor. This generates a

circular rotor motion, transferred to the gear pump over the direct drive coupling.

The concentrate is pumped into the water motor outlet, where dosing occurs.

Since the water motor and the gear pump are directly connected, the system is

flow-proportional. Dosing is automatically adjusted from the amount of water that

passes through the FIREMIKS.


The water motor rotor has 8 or 10 working wings, this gives an early and

stable volumetric function of the water motor, within the ratio 1:10 of max flow.

(For example 240 – 2.400lpm).

This narrow interior design, along with low friction wings, also reduces noise

level and creates long lasting durabilty.


FIREMIKS works with all common types of nozzles, among others:

low expansion, medium expansion and high expansion nozzles,

foam sprinkler heads, spray nozzles, foam monitors and foam chambers.


Fixed Type

For fixed installations connected to a foam tank, with gravity feed of foam

liquid. Equipped as standard with a Manual air relief valve.

Mobile Type

Mainly used by fire brigades as a handy complement to fixed foam admixing

systems. Just connect FIREMIKS to the fire hoses and put down the suction

tube into a foam drum, and it is ready to be used!

One FIREMIKS

– Several nozzles!

With FIREMIKS the fire brigade can rely on a flexible system that easily

adapts to different fire fighting situations. One can use several different

nozzles at the same time, positioned at different lengths and at different

heights from FIREMIKS.


Suitable for Offshore/Salt water applications

FIREMIKS is available with the water motor made in bronze, to make it

suitable for offshore, shipping and other installations where seawater is

used. The foam pumps are made of bronze as standard.


Sprinkler units

FIREMIKS is available with piston/plunger pumps specifically suitable for

sprinkler system with low start up flow and/or high working pressure,

also for concentrates with low viscosity, for example wetting agents.


We certify that all our FIREMIKS®-units conforms with applicable

parts in NFPA 11 (2010) and NFPA 1901 (2009)

FIREMIKS is CE-marked. We declare that all our FIREMIKS®-units

conforms with European Directive 2006/42/EC.

We offer also the possibility to deliver any FIREMIKS®-unit with a

third party inspection report by Det Norske Veritas/GL or

Bureau Veritas, at a minor additional cost.
