Applications:
Our GE range of external gear pumps for foam concentrate in the fire fighting market are used for the delivery of fire fighting foam concentrate into the main water flow for fire fighting. We will size your pump based on the type of foam being used, the concentration required and the size of the main water flow.
Our Pelton Wheel driven pumps are the ultimate in safety. They use a small part of the main water flow to drive a Pelton Wheel which in turn drives the gear pump to inject the foam concentrate. We use sophisticated software to size the pump and Pelton Wheel components, and have a large data base of previous applications to help guide our selection.
