Mini Turbex Portable Foam Generator

The HI-COMBAT Mini-Turbex generator
is ideally suited to applications in a
wide range of industries including
Municipal Fire Brigades, Military, Ships
engine rooms, machinery spaces and
cargo holds, mining applications and
total flooding of basements, flammable
liquid stores, cable ducts and control of
vapour releases of toxic and flammable
liquid spills in general industrial
applications. It is also suited to outdoor
situations where fuel spillages may
occur, or a rapid flowing foam is
required.

These generators are designed to be
robust and lightweight for portable use
and can be quickly operated by just
one firefighter, complementing larger
output units like the Turbex MkII high
expansion generators.
HI-COMBAT Mini-Turbex generators
are also compact, neatly sized to fit
into a fire vehicle locker as standard
equipment, and requires only an Angus
HI-COMBAT IND225 portable foam
inductor in the water line to induce
the Expandol foam concentrate at 3%
setting, for fast, effective operation.
The unit utilises forced air technology
from a highly efficient pelton wheel
driven fan which enables expanded
foam to be produced against high
back pressures. This pelton wheel
is operated by 4 water jets, with an
additional 4 nozzles spraying foam
solution directly onto the foam making
net for bubble production.

When the optional smoke extraction
(SX) ducting is fitted, the HI-COMBAT
Mini-Turbex is also capable of rapid
smoke movement at rates up to 100m3
(3,560cu.ft) per minute. Any burning
embers entrained in the smoke will
be cooled by waterspray from the
nozzles, preventing the risk of ignition
in adjacent areas. This optional smoke
ducting can also be used for removal of
the foam once the fire is extinguished.
