POK created its first mobile foam unit as part of a fire equipment order in 1982. This fire-fighting equipment consists of a 100-liter foaming tank on wheels, a foam generator nozzle, an injector of 200 liters per minute, and a 45 mm diameter hose length.
This fire-fighting equipment is used to protect factories, petroleum deposits, and high-risk installations. It involves a minimum training of the staff in fire attack department.
Mobile foam units
Since these first achievements, POK’s mobile foam units have been improved and transformed to adapt to the ergonomics of the customer base, as well as their requirements.
For example, a version has been made with a 150-liter tank, with 4 wheels, a foam generator nozzle and a 400-liters per-minute injector, with several lengths of 70 mm diameter hose.
Most accessible storage feature
The accommodation for all this equipment has been designed to ensure the most accessible storage
The accommodation for all this equipment has been designed to ensure the most accessible storage. In addition, POK has worked on the aesthetics so that not only is the mobile foam unit easy to use and functional, but also has a pleasant and pleasing design.
The balance of the mobile foam unit has been designed to pass through slightly uneven ground, but cannot climb stairs. For this possible unevenness, the unit can be tilted on the 400 mm diameter rear wheels and thus, pass and overcome the obstacle in the path.
Pressurized water supply
The mobile foam unit operates with a pressurized water supply, which must, therefore, be located nearby to be easily accessible. This fire hydrant must be connected to injector installed on the mobile foam unit. The suction hose supplied with the proportioner must be immersed in the foam tank and it must be ensured that the dosage corresponds to the foam’s specifications, which is generally 3%.
The outlet of the injector must be connected to the foam nozzle via a length of hose. Of course, all these devices and in particular, the hoses must be equipped with couplings.
