The proven ALU-Tech sandwich design:

EMPL vehicle bodies are manufactured with ALU-Tech panels. These combine aluminium cover layers with a PP honeycomb core. The inner plastic coating allows easy cleaning.

Properties

• maximum bending stiffness combined with light weight
• excellent dimensional stability
• high pressure strength
• construction material class B1 as per DIN 4102
• high-quality surface quality
• resistant
• easy to maintain

Body on galvanised support frame with 4-point bearing

• maximum torsion resistance
• optimum corrosion protection

Rotating bays on stainless steel bearings with variable mounting

• proven design
• highly robust
• easy to adjust
• handles with coloured marking
• espagnolette locking bolt
• large opening angle
• ergonomically accessible

Powder-coated aluminium roll-up doors

• continuous glove strip
• self-tightening closing straps

The EMPL MOD - Tech II crew compartment:

When the driver’s cab is tilted, the crew compartment remains mounted to the chassis. This makes the truck easy accessible for service work. Equipment compartment structure and cab are mounted separately so no “additional” tensions are generated when driving on difficult terrain.

Benefits of the MOD - Tech II design

• low level of intrusion on the original driver’s cab of the truck manufacturer (corrosion protection)
• accessibility for maintenance and service is maintained
• cab module and body in separated design (no limitation of the torsional flexibility)
• optimum use of space in width, length and internal height
• optimum alighting comfort while wearing breathing apparatus through extra-height crew compartment doors and pneumatically folding crew compartment entry
• noise and heat insulation
• fast and simple repairs in case of damage
• 100% corrosion resistance and long service life
• self-supporting design
• reusable compartment modules (easy transfer to other chassis possible)

Highlights

• walk-on roof window, alternatively with air conditioning
• panorama screens made of Parsol safety glass edged with carbon look film
• EMPL EAGLE breathing apparatus seats
• 3-point safety belt on each seat
• electric window controls
• grab rails in signal colour
• light-colour, easy-to-clean roof liner with continuous powder-coated grab rails
• battery on stainless steel extension
• walk-on crew compartment roof
• seat boxes designed as equipment boxes with bar lock mechanism
• LED spotlights above the crew compartment doors
• durable, easy-care studded rubber flooring
• pneumatically folding access steps

Pump operation as per request:

Whether analogue pump control stations as per AGBF (Working Group of Managers of German Professional Fire Services), operation via screen using CAN bus system or individually designed pump control stations. EMPL offers the full range of solutions for a variety of different customer requirements.

Human Interaction Technology

A CAN bus system is used to control all important devices, call up status functions, observe system status and monitor command execution. It is a universal interface which makes the information from one control device available for all other devices.

H.I.T. CAN - Bus Control

EMPL human interaction technology is the simplest and easiest way of operating a pumper. The control uses a fully automatic, self-monitoring system with a 7” LCD colour display with LED backlight in the driver's cab and on the pump control station.  

• 7” wide screen colour display with anti-glare coating
• powerful LED backlight with long service life
• large viewing angle
• soft keys with long-life LED contour lighting
• camera input for optional reversing video system in the driver's cab
• integrated warning buzzer
• emergency operation optionally through valve terminal

Pump control station to customer requirements

Individual control stations are designed together with the customers control stations from existing vehicles can also be implemented.

EMPL centrifugal fire fighting pump:

The fire fighting pump made of corrosion-resistant light alloy is driven by the vehicle engine. It is equipped with an aluminium impeller for normal pressure. The impeller is mounted on a stainless steel pump shaft and runs on high-performance bearings with lifetime lubrication. This means the EMPL centrifugal fire fighting pump is completely oil-free and requires no maintenance at all.

Normal pressure pumps

• centrifugal fire fighting pump EN 1028
• single-stage
• seawater-resistant aluminium alloy or red brass
• stainless pump shaft
• maintenance-free bearing of the pump shaft (oil-free)
• face seal
• delivery rate 1,000 - 10,000 l/min at 10 bar and 3 m suction head
• thermal valve

High pressure pumps

• periphery pump single-stage on pump shaft of normal pressure pump
• stainless steel housing
• bronze impeller
• delivery rate 250 or 400 l/min at 40 bar
• overpressure protection

Application

• integrated vehicle pump

Drive

• right-hand rotation or left-hand rotation

Venting

• VACUMAT - automatic venting pump
• manual activation or automatic mode
• oil-free
• maintenance-free
• max. suction head 8 m
• automatic shutdown at 0.8 bar pressure in the pump housing

Possible options

• suction intakes
• shut-off valves or ball valves
• clutches
• pressure outlets
• auxiliary outputs
• monitor output
