ADVANTAGES AND FEATURES WITH FIREMIKS

MAKES IT SIMPLE TO DOSE

The use of FIREMIKS simplify the correct dosing of the concentrate for both fixed system and mobile firefighting. Correct proportioning is made automatic. FIREMIKS adjust itself for changes in a wide flow- and pressure range. There is no need for pressure balancing or calibration.

For Fire brigades: With FIREMIKS the fire brigades easily create a system adaptable to various fire-fighting situations. It is possible to use several different nozzles simultaneously, positioned at different lengths and heights. Allows to quickly open and close nozzles “pulsing”, immediate correct dosing is achieved.

For fixed installations: FIREMIKS is a compact one-piece dosing system. There is no need for: electric or diesel motor, pressure vessel/tank or electric control systems. It is driven by the water flow only, just connect the FIREMIKS to an atmospheric foam tank, easy to refill.

UNIQUE WATER MOTOR

Special designed volumetric water motor using 8-10 vanes extending from the rotor gives smooth rotation and volumetric function without using moving elastomer sealing.

Designed, manufactured, assembled and factory acceptance tested in Sweden 

DOSING RETURN VALVE

A dosing return valve (DRV) directs the concentrate back to the tank and allows for easy recurring dosing testing of the system, without generating foam solution. This gives substantial savings over many years. No consumption of concentrate and no cost for cleaning or destruction of the solution after the test.

MANY DIFFERENT FLOW SIZES AND DOSING RATES

FIREMIKS is available in different max flow sizes; from 150 up to 10.000 lpm, with fixed dosing alternatives; 0,5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, or selectable dosing rate (for example 1, 2 and 3% on the same unit). Other dosing options on request. 

Consists of a robust hydraulic water motor and a concentrate pump – both of displacement (volumetric) type -and linked mechanically by a direct drive coupling or belt drive.

SUITABLE FOR DIFFERENT VISCOSITIES

FIREMIKS has suitable pump models covering different types of viscosities of different foam concentrates, wetting agents and other fire fighting additives.

Piston pumps are most suitable for low and medium viscosity concentrates. Gear pumps are very suited for higher viscosity concentrates incl Fluor-free foams.

PERMITS UNINTERUPTED APPLICATION TIME

Water driven foam pump proportioners permits uninterrupted application time as long as foam liquid and water are supplied. Just quickly connect another foam tank if main tank gets empty.

WORKS WITH ALL COMMON NOZZLES

FIREMIKS works with all common types of nozzles, among others: Low-Ex, Medium-Ex and High-Ex nozzles, foam sprinkler heads, spray nozzles, foam monitors and foam chambers.

FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION METHOD

All our water motors are machined to our design in Sweden. This production method enables us to easily produce in different materials of the water motor, even for a single unit, and also to make other types of adjustments. For example, a client asked if we could deliver a unit with a nominal dosing rate of 2,75% instead of the standard 3%. Our flexible production method enabled us to easily produce a water motor with slightly wider body, thus increasing the displacement of the water motor in relation to the pump resulting in the asked for dosing rate.
