·      The bodywork of the equipment is manufactured as a 3 piece modular type (front cupboard-water/foam tanks-rear

       cupboard) which can be dismantled whenever desired.

·      The doors of the cupboards are made of aluminum material in the shape of shutters and in this way water and dust tight feature of the cupboards is realized. Opening and closing of the shutters is carried out by means of a drum.

·      Catchbars and safety locks are present on the cupboard doors.

·      After the bodywork is completed it is painted and the necessary parts are plated with nickel and aluminum.

·      The interior parts of the cupboards are plated with diamond shaped aluminum sheets.

 

2.     WATER TANK

·      The water tank can be readily dismantled off the vehicle for repair purposes if necessary.

·      The water tank is manufactured of 3 mm thick AISI 304 quality chrome nickel (Ci – Ni) sheets and the whole tank is                 welded smoothly form the interior and the exterior by means of a gas electric welding.

·      In order to prevent billowing caused by the movement of the vehicle and the water surface levels, 3 mm thick breakwaters, 1 in the transversal 1 in the longitudinal direction, are installed inside the water tank. The breakwaters are manufactured from the same material as the tank. The said covers inside the tank forms a total of 6 compartments/sections and in order to carry out the cleaning process of the tank in the compartments/sections the necessary passages are present between them.

·      A manhole lid having a rubber gasket rim and that can be easily opened and closed and through which a man could easily pass is present on the tank.

·      The upper surface of the tank is coated with diamond shape iron sheets having threads facing outwards in order to prevent slipping.

·      A collapse reservoir having an appropriate diameter and depth is located underneath the tank and a global valve for discharging the waste water accumulated under the reservoir is present.

·      To enable a person to climb on to the platform above the tank a ladder is manufactured having handles at its sides and which is placed on the rear and at the side of the tank.

·      In order to discharge the compressed air and the excessive water inside the tank during the filling process of the tank, a fleeing/overflow or bluff tube is mounted which has an appropriate dimension to the pump position.

·      A single filling rim, having a lid and a record, is present underneath the tank which enables filling water from an exterior form the left or the right side. A pipe, which does not contact the ceiling of the tank but rather extends up to the ceiling, is formed on the part of the filling rim which enters inside the tank and in this way during the filling process the water is filled inside the tank without being exposed to pressure.

·      In order to display the water level inside the tank an electronic water level indicator is mounted on the pump control panel.

 

The mounting process of the tank on the chassis is made by appropriate fixing elements in order not to cause any abnormal tensions on the chassis and these fixing elements possess a feature that prevents the tank to slide back and forth and from left to right when the vehicle is full-load.

 

3.     FOAM TANK

·      Foam tank capacity is 200±50 liters.

·      The foam tank is manufactured of 4 mm thick AISI 304 quality chrome nickel (Ci – Ni) sheets.

·      Above the foam tank a lid with an appropriate dimension having a rubber gasket rim is present. A discharge valve is present underneath the tank for cleaning purposes.

·      In order to display the foam content inside the tank an electronic foam indicator is mounted on the pump control panel.

 

4.     FIRST INTERVENTION WHEEL

·      A first aid wheel is mounted on an appropriate place of the equipment.

·      The wheel is manufactured from an aluminum casting material.

·       A 30 meter long hose which has 1” diameter and which is durable against grinding and breaking is wrapped around the wheel.

·       A multi purpose (jet/sis) lans (water outlet adjuster) is located on the tip of the wheel.

·      The wheel hoses can be winded open manually in an easy and in a rapid way and the winding back process is also carried out manually.

·      In order to wind open and wind back the hose easily during the winding of the hose a bobbin system at the bottom and at the sides is present.

 

5.     WATER AND FOAM MONITOR

·      A monitor having a 1.600.-Lt/Min capacity is located on the platform which is used for spraying water/foam mixture.

·      The monitor is manufactured from special aluminum alloy material and its nozzle (hood) is made from special plastic material.

·      A hood which has a jetting and misting feature is located on the end of the monitor and the spraying process can be adjusted from the monitor as jet/sis.

·      Controlling the monitor is performed manually and the operating levers are manufactured in an adjustable way.

·      Locking elements are present in order to fix the monitor when it is not in use.

·      Under a pressure of 8-10 atu the monitor can eject water at least 45 meters and foam at least 30 meters.

·      Monitors all water outlets can also be used as foam outlets.

 

6.   VALVE AND RACORDS  

·      All of the valves and racords to be used in the installation are stainless steel arm and global heavy service type valves.

·      Racords are of the German type.

·     The racords are connected to the suction and pressure hoses by means of stainless steel clamps. AV type face spanners are used for assembling and disassembling process of the records.
