FLUX drum pumps in transferring of foam agents
The task:
Foam agents are essential in firefighting operations. They are used for class B fires and are now also increasingly used for class A fires.
The foam agents are sold and delivered in various
containers, including 200 liter drums and 1 000 liter IBCs. From these containers, the foam agents need to be filled into smaller containers.
The solution of the FLUX experts:
FLUX offers different solutions for the delivery of foam agents, from preconfigured sets for immediate use consisting of drum pump, motor, hose and nozzle to individual pump solutions. In addition, FLUX offers various motor
options. There is a choice of electric motors for use in the fire station or via an emergency power generator on the emergency vehicle, as well as compressed air-driven motors for use by the vehicle’s compressed air tank.

Typical tasks in fire fighting dangerous goods operation:
The task
It is often necessary during firefighting operations to
remove hazardous substances such as highly flammable fluids, acids or alkalis from a damaged vehicle or container to not endanger the operation and to be able to safely
continue with the recovery mission. For such dangerous substances, special pumps are required.
The solution of the FLUX experts
FLUX offers a wide range of solutions for conveying
hazardous materials.
The solutions are based on either electrical or compressed air motors. Further many pumps are available with approval for ATEX areas.
