Firefighting

Firefighting applications require robust pumping technology for foaming agents, hazardous substances, and mineral oils. These applications demand safe media compatibility, flexible drives, and reliable operation—even when handling flammable, corrosive, or toxic liquids. FLUX meets these requirements with drum pumps, eccentric screw pumps, and compressed-air diaphragm pumps. Explosion-proof versions and solutions compliant with DIN 14555-12 support use in hazardous materials applications.

  • Drum pumps for foam concentrates up to 1,000 mPas
  • VISCOPOWER for high-viscosity foaming agents starting at 800 mPas
  • FP 425 Ex in accordance with DIN 14555-12
  • FDM air-operated diaphragm pumps up to 1,040 l/min
  • Ex-rated versions for Zones 1 and 2

Certificates

Certified safety for a wide range of industries and countries: FLUX products are developed and certified for worldwide use and meet the highest requirements and safety standards. With FLUX, you’re always on the safe side, no matter where you are.

CE Conformity

All products comply with the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. CE-compliant pumps meet the essential European requirements for safety, health protection, and environmental protection. This provides a solid foundation for use in standardized industrial and municipal environments.

ATEX 2014/34/EU

Explosion protection in accordance with the ATEX Directive for potentially explosive atmospheres.

Explosion protection is often mandatory for firefighting applications involving hazardous materials. ATEX-compliant pumps are suitable for flammable media and potentially explosive atmospheres.

DIN 14555-12

This standard is particularly relevant for hazardous materials transported in tank trucks. The FP 425 Ex drum pump with a DN 50 tank truck coupling meets the requirements of this specification.
