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! EFFICIENT AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.
MAIN ADVANTAGES WITH FIREMIKS®:
- Dosing is flow-proportional and effectively working regardless of pressure variations. This gives a steady admixture within the max. and min. limits of flow and pressure.
- Available in several different flow alternatives; from 800 up to 10.000 lpm, and dosing alternatives; 1%, 3% or 6%. Also selectable. Other options on request.
- Works with virtually all types of foaming agents, included the AR-types. Suitable also for wetting agents and other fire-fighting chemicals.
- Consists of a sturdy hydraulic water motor and a strong industrial gear pump, both of displacement type and linked mechanically to each other with a direct drive coupling.
- You may use different types of nozzles, at different heights and lengths from FIREMIKS. Changes of length or diameter of pipe/hose system after FIREMIKS up to the nozzles are not affecting the admixture as long as the water pressure from main pump is sufficient to transport the foam/water solution to the end of the system.
- Permits uninterrupted application time as long as foam liquid and water are supplied.
- Materials used are PTFE-coated hard-anodized Aluminum in water motor and Bronze in foam pump. All other parts are also made in corrosion-resistant material such as AISI-steel, brass and POM. Requires practically no maintenance. Other materials available on request.
- Automatic flushing of foam pump with water when foam inlet is closed (Fixed, Demountable and Mobile-types)

Specific advantages for use at fire-brigades
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.
Specific advantages for use in fire-fighting installations
Pressure tank is not needed for the FIREMIKS-system. You may well use the standard container from the foam supplier.
Two FIREMIKS-units may be installed in parallel to double the flow and to optimize the security.
FIREMIKS-system works perfectly with different types of sprinkler heads, deluge nozzles, high- medium- and low expansion foam nozzles.
Choose the type that suites your purpose best; Sprinkler "S", Fixed "F" or Demountable "D" type.
THERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT WAYS OF USING/
INSTALLING FIREMIKS® UNITS. CHOOSE THE TYPE

ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS WHEN USING FIREMIKS
There are several important environmental and safety benefits when using the FIREMIKS-system.
There are several important environmental and safety benefits when using the FIREMIKS-system.
FIREMIKS is driven solely by water. No other additional energy is required. Compared with other foam mixing
systems on the market which needs additional energy, for example an electrically or diesel driven foam pump, this gives the benefit of minimized energy consumption which also helps reduce the CO2 emissions.
An electrically driven foam pump may in some cases be an increased risk in hazardous areas. Electricity may create sparks and cause explosions in areas where there are flammable gases. With FIREMIKS this risk can be eliminated if you specify an explosion-proof unit. Furthermore water in itself is environmentally friendly, nonflammable, inexpensive, clean and easily disposable.
Another important environmental aspect with a powerful and easy-to-use foam dosing system, such as FIREMIKS, is that it is extremely quick and effective in extinguishing a fire based on chemical flammable liquids or solids. These fires may otherwise create very severe environmental effects and in some cases endanger peoples lives. New studies points also out that forest fires is behind 19 % of the CO2 emission which increases the global warming. With effective fire fighting systems such as FIREMIKS we can help to decrease that effect.
