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
• foam pre-mixer

Painting

State-of-the-art paint systems (enamel finish) in-house ensure best possible quality and durability of the paint finish.

Conservation

Complete chassis and body conservation in 2-layer process to military standard, incl. certification for resistance to condensation and salt spray. This provides perfect protection against corrosion.
