FOAM PROPORTIONING SYSTEM "FIX-MIX", MODEL NP Design: This automatic "Around-the-Pump" type foam proportioner makes it possible to induct foam compound to the water at the correct proportioning ratio, independent of pump pressure and/or discharge. This system works in both the high and normal pressure range of the pump. After the pump has been engaged, only the foam system has to be switched on, and the correct percentage of foam compound will be admixed automatically. Material: Metering and proportioning valve in the proportioning unit are made of gun-metal. Advantages: * Since the admixing of foam compound does not have to be done manually, there is no waste of foam compound. Specification 9 / 14 Division
* The foam proportioning system "FIX MIX" is suited for all protein and Fluorprotein based foam compounds, as well as for synthetic foam compounds, including AFFF. * The automatic foam proportioning is done with low pressure loss and operates within the pump output range of 100 l/min and maximum pump output, as well as at a pump pressure between 5 bar and maximum pump pressure. The rate of admixing can be adjusted at 3% or 6%. 9. FOAM/WATER MONITOR RM 25 E Make: Type: Location: Control: Emergency control: Rosenbauer RM 25 E, with O-stream nozzle, without barrel. On the cab's roof. Electronic remote control from inside the cabin, by a single hand "slave type" pistol shape joy-stick, which will always indicate the direction of the monitor. In case of electric failure, the monitor can be operated manually from the roof of the vehicle, by a worm gear control. Operation ranges: Foam straight stream throw: 55 m Water straight stream throw: 60 m Foam dispersed pattern 11 m wide Water dispersed pattern 11 m wide O-stream nozzle: Output: Output reduction: For producing a dispersed pattern or a full stream, with continuous adjustment. Control from inside the cabin. 2.400 l/min at 10 bar If desired, the output can be reduced to 50%, simply by actuating a control on the monitor control panel in the cabin. In this case, the monitor throw will be reduced by at least 10 metres. Expansion: Foam expansion will be between 1:3 and 1:6, depending on type of foam compound used. Rotation: Elevation: Depression: 270 degrees 0-70 degrees From zero to maximum minus 15 degrees. Due to the special shape of the cab and the contours of the Specification 10 / 14 Division
working deck, the depression angle may be smaller when measured over the rotating beacons, ladder fixtures, etc. The monitor movements are automatically controlled in such a way, that vehicle mounted obstacles like rotating beacons, ladder fixtures etc. will not be hit by the monitor.
