Foam generator

Product overview
Proportioning equipment is an essential component of foam firefighting systems that provides a calibrated ratio of foam concentrate to water. The SKUM portfolio includes proportioners, inductors, and pumps, as well as foam concentrate bladder and atmospheric tanks.

Calibrated solutions
Calibrated SKUM proportioning equipment offers solutions to meet a wide array of application, specification and certification requirements. The various proportioning systems offer different features and benefits suited to airport rescue and firefighting (ARFF), fuel storage areas and industrial sites.

Features and benefits

• Cost-effective inline inductors provide easy installation, maintenance, and flexible application on most foam storage tanks.
• Self-inducing nozzles enable straightforward installation, operation and maintenance with minimal additional equipment.
• Around-the-pump inductors compensate for variable solution flow by adjusting the pick-up rate into the proportioner, delivering a consistent foam mixture across changing pump conditions.
• Balanced pressure proportioners maintain a consistent foam/water ratio with varying flows and pressures; these are simple to install and operate with low pressure loss.
• Bladder tanks are compatible with most foam concentrates; they feature few moving parts, variable flow capability and reduced operational pressure drop.

Typical applications

• Truck loading racks
• Aircraft hangers
• Dip tanks
• Pump rooms
• Helipads
