Foam tanks (bladder tanks) SKUM are nominal pressure vessels, equipped with an elastomeric internal membrane for storing foam concentrate.
When activated, the integrated system applies water pressure to the membrane, pushing the concentrate towards the dispenser. The pressure-balanced proportioning system measures the exact amount of concentrate required in the water line to generate the foam solution. This then flows to the discharge devices, protecting the area at risk of fire.
Foam tanks do not require external power, involve minimal maintenance and are generally more economical than pump dosing systems.
New and improved design
The new generation of tanks SKUM was designed to provide advanced configurability, optimized field use and accelerated delivery times. They are available with a wide range of configurable standard options, including:
- Standard and corrosion-resistant paints
- Alternative paint colors
- Level indicators
- Thermal pressure reducing valves
Foam tanks SKUM are available in horizontal and vertical configurations, pre-equipped for quick installation. The tank system includes a number of features designed to facilitate efficient installation, maintenance and service.
Key features and benefits
- Open leg design – Easy access to the bottom of the tank
- New Shell Drain System – Allows for quick refilling after commissioning testing
- Standard grooved coupling connections – Simplified integration with water piping systems
- Reversible water inlet – Allows flexible connections on either side of a vertical tank
- Main shut-off valve – Allows use, installation or replacement of the visual indicator with minimal effort and without leaks
- Valve nameplates with o-ring pins and locking seals – Eliminates confusion over valve identification and position
Discover in detail the new functionalities of the tanks SKUM, available in both the horizontal, as well as vertical.
