Foam proportioning system:

ADVANTAGES

• All purpose usability

continuous foam proportioning
individual adjustable foam proportioning rate at each
outlet
Water or foam individual at each outlet
Suitable for every foam compound — even highly
viscous liquids
supply external or via foam tank

• Easy operation

thanks to logic control system, operation is the same
as pump operation
manual adjustment of the proportioning rate at the
outlets
no priming pump for foam compound necessary

• Easy to handle

no flushing of the foam pump necessary
no driving motor for foam pump
easy hydraulic regulation
• No foam compound in the water pump
• According to NFPA 1901 as “Demand balanced
pressure system”

Control panel:

Control panel:

Clearly arranged, rear mounted LCS control panel

Outlets:

With continuous foam proportioning rates at each outlet, enabling the simultaneous discharge of water from all or some outlets (e.g. for cooling), and foam from all or some outlets with different foam proportioning rates.
