PREAMBLE

The Rosenbauer Air Crash Rescue and Fire Fighting Vehicle hereafter referred as to ARFF has been designed for effective fire fighting in high fire risk areas, like Airports and its vicinity. The ARFF design includes extinguishing agent water, foam compound and dry powder and can operate from its own tank supply, fire hydrant or open water sources. All components of this vehicle are made of approved products, steadily improved and developed which guarantee reliable, long-lasting performance and safe operation. It can also operate in desert terrain at high ambient temperature as well as salt laden, high humidity atmosphere. The all-wheel drive capability and the differential locks in the rear axles, provide excellent cross-country performance. The engineering & construction of our products are conducted by procedures following the IQNet Certificate of Quality Management System ISO 9001 (Registration Number: AT-143/0) and also OQS Certificate of Quality Management System complying with the requirements of standard ISO 9001:1994 (Registration No.: 143/0). In addition, Rosenbauer International AG has also been certified according to the OQS Certificate of Environmental Management System complying with the requirements of standard ISO 14001:1996 (Registration No.: 028/0).

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: Specification 079-05003 FLF 5400

*

Since the admixing of foam compound does not have to be done manually, there is no waste of foam compound. 9 / 14

Division SFV - 4 / HDr

9.

*

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%.

FOAM/WATER MONITOR RM 25 E

Make:

Rosenbauer

Type:

RM 25 E, with O-stream nozzle, without barrel.

Location:

On the cab's roof.
