Mobile Fire Department Pump / Extinguishing Water Feed Pump / Flood
Protection
The volunteer fire department of a small town in the Tyrolean
region of Austria had resistant problems with flooding. The fire
department looked for a powerful mobile pump for flood protection.
The pump is supposed to be used as an extinguishing water feed pump
as well.
The fire department performed tests with a Accuvon rotary lobe
pump. The Accuvon pump has a compact design and can be transported
by a tractor using the three-point suspension. The pump is driven
by the PTO shaft of the tractor. An independent drive for the pump
is not necessary due to this construction. In this way, the mobile
pump becomes even more compact and can also be used in the mountain
areas which are difficult to reach.
The volunteer fire department was so impressed by the test of the
Accuvon pump that they retained the demo pump straight away. In
addition to the compact dimensions, the user friendliness and the
high flow rate, the customer was particularly impressed by the
virtually constant flow rate of the rotary lobe pump even with high
pressures.
