- Flow Range: 500 to 5,000 GPM
- Pressure: Up to 12 bar (175 psi)
- Engine: Water-cooled diesel engine with radiator
- Standards: UL/FM certified, NFPA 20 compliant
- Applications: Factories, warehouses, high-rise buildings, industrial plants, airports
Electric Motor Driven Fire Pumps
Electric fire pumps are ideal for facilities with reliable utility power and lower noise requirements.
- Power Range: 10 to 500 HP
- Flow Range: 250 to 5,000 GPM
- Motor: NEMA or IEC frame, TEFC enclosure
- Starting: Across-the-line, star-delta, or soft starter
- Applications: Commercial buildings, shopping malls, hospitals, schools, offices, residential towers
Vertical Turbine Fire Pumps
Vertical turbine pumps draw water directly from tanks, reservoirs, or wells. Ideal when the water source is below the pump level.
