Foam Fire Extinguishing Systems by Sakthi Fire Protection Systems

FIREMIKS® is a mechanical foam-dosing system used for fire fighting. The circulation of water solely drives the motor; no other additional energy is required. It is efficient and environmentally friendly.

FIREMIKS dosing system is driven solely by the extinguishing water flow - no other additional energy is required. The water flow from a main water pump is going through the FIREMIKS water motor.

The power of the water flow generates a circular rotor motion, which is transferred to the foam pump, over the direct drive coupling (3). The foam pump (2) pumps foam concentrate into the water motor outlet and there creates the water/foam solution.

Since the water motor (1) and foam pump (2) are directly connected with the drive coupling (3), the system is by that flow-proportional. Dosing is automatically adjusted from the amount of water that is going through the FIREMIKS. I.e. the more water that goes through water motor (1), the faster it rotates and the more extinguishing agent is pumped by the foam pump (2), and vice versa, regardless of pressure variations.

Specific Advantages For Use At Fire Brigdes:

• A compact mechanical solution, without expensive and complicated control systems
• Works well with just a hydrant as water supply
• Lower pressure losses compared with inductor-system, gives longer throw length
• Increased safety for the fireman
• Works with different types of nozzles, as for example spray nozzles, high, medium and low expansions foam nozzles. Also used at the same time and at different heights. You may open and close them independently of each other
• Enable the operator to quickly change from an empty foam tank to another without stopping the flow of water
• Requires a minimum of training, very reliable in operation

One FIREMIKS may replace several inductors with its very compact design FIREMIKS is easy to install/use in fire tenders, foam carts, roll-on/ roll-off pods, aerial ladder platforms, etc. Choose the type that suites your purpose best; Mobile "M", Demountable "D" or Fixed "F" type.
