FIREMIKS

Volumetric Foam Proportioner
for High Viscosity Fluorine-Free Foam Concentrates
FIREMIKS Volumetric Foam Proportioner FM Approved

Exceptional Accuracy

Invest in precision—no calibration required. The FIREMIKS volumetric foam proportioner automatically adjusts SFFF dosing (1%-3%-6%) if more sprinkler heads activate during an emergency.

Increased Sustainability

Avoid unexpected discharges, pollution, and disposal costs while benefiting from NFPA-mandated testing that doesn’t generate SFFF solution when you add a Dosing Return Valve (DRV) to your pump system.

Advanced Foam Proportioning Technology

FIREMIKS offers an advanced volumetric foam proportioner in a user-friendly package. These foam pump systems are designed to work with fluorine-free firefighting foams of all viscosities, offering an environmentally responsible choice for extinguishing Class A and Class B fire hazards. FIREMIKS consistently proportions foam concentrate directly into any new or existing sprinkler or deluge system, serving as a high-performance component in fixed foam systems. These foam proportioners are ideal for engineers, contractors, and end users seeking a simplified fire suppression solution while transitioning away from fluorinated foam systems.

There’s an increasing shift from AFFF foam systems to synthetic fluorine-free foam (SFFF) systems globally. Unlike traditional firefighting foams, SFFF formulations are free from polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). These substances can negatively impact human health and the environment. In January 2023, the Department of Defense released a military specification in response to the negative impacts of PFAS. This new specification said that firefighting foams used on military bases must be able to extinguish Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires without the presence of PFAS.

Yes! Simply install the FIREMIKS somewhere suitable between the main pump and sprinkler heads before connecting it to an atmospheric foam concentrate tank. The optimum FIREMIKS pump for sprinkler systems is a piston pump unit.

Yes! The FIREMIKS integrates into deluge systems with ease. Deluge systems are designed to work with a specific flow rate and pressure. If for any reason the deluge system strays from its intended flow and pressure, the FIREMIKS offers an increased safety margin. A suitable FIREMIKS pump for deluge systems is a gear pump unit.

No! The FIREMIKS works with a normal atmospheric foam storage tank. Many clients even use the original foam concentrate container, streamlining setup while avoiding unnecessary equipment like pressurized tanks or foam inductors.

Yes! The FIREMIKS can even be installed as 3-4 units in parallel as long as you create a harmonic pipe flow. Remember to keep the minimum flow rate of each FIREMIKS pump in mind as your team designs larger fire suppression systems for high-hazard areas.

FIREMIKS offers a powerful and efficient foam proportioning solution that adapts to a wide range of fire protection needs. Here’s what sets it apart:

  • Operates effectively across a wide range of flow rates and pressure conditions, maintaining a steady water stream for accurate foam solution generation
  • Constructed with stainless steel components for durability and corrosion resistance
  • Compatible with many types of foam, including those designed for flammable liquids
  • Uses an internal reactor for thorough mixing of extinguishing water and foam agent
  • Works with specific foam concentrate formulations for precision dosing
  • Connects easily to foam storage tanks or foam containers from your preferred supplies
  • Requires little maintenance, with no need for external power or complex ratio controllers
  • Supports both fixed foam systems and mobile fire suppression setups
  • Maintains a steady proportioning rate without suffering from pressure drop

This combination of features makes FIREMIKS a reliable and flexible solution for modern firefighting operations.
