Safe transfer of foam concentrate – drum pump set for Firefighting Operations

Fire departments transfer foam concentrate from 200-liter drums or 1,000-liter IBCs into smaller containers. These must be made available quickly and safely for different fire classes.

Solution
F 430 Drum Pump + VISCOPOWER progressive cavity pump F 570

Task

Transfer foam concentrate from various containers, such as 200-liter drums and 1,000-liter IBC containers, into smaller containers. Use in Class B fires—and increasingly in Class A fires as well—requires flexible and rapid foam concentrate logistics.

Requirements
  • Fast transfer between different containers  
  • Suitable for various types of foaming agents  
  • Flexible applications for fire departments  
  • Easy to clean and handle 
Solution in Detail

Pre-assembled fire department pump set featuring the F 430 drum pump for low-viscosity foaming agents and the VISCOPOWER F 570 progressive cavity pump for viscous media. A variety of drive options allow for flexible use in both stationary and mobile applications.

Result

Electric motors allow for use at the fire station or via emergency power generators. Pneumatic motors utilize existing vehicle technology. This makes it possible to adapt the pumping capacity to different operating conditions.
