HYDRODRIVE
FOAM MIXING PUMP
COMPARISON BETWEEN BLADDER TANK SYSTEM WITH
MGF HYDRODRIVE FOAM SYSTEM
Bladder- Tank system
A limited system in time. When foam bag is
empty, system must be stopped for refilling.
The rubber bag inside the pressure tank may be
sensitive after a couple of years. May also be
damaged if not care is taken when filling.
A separate proportioner is necessary to control
the admixture.
Initial start-up may be complicated.
Limited pressure range.
Maintenance may be complicated.
A bladder tank is a pressure vessel and needs
therefore in some cases special approvals and
other considerations.
The bladder-tank system is heavy and requires
much space and is more complicated to install.
MGF HYDRODRIVE-system
An uninterrupted system as long as water and
foam concentrate are available. If foam tank
becomes empty, foam concentrate can be
sucked from a separate drum without
interrupting the water flow and the fire fighting.
No sensitive rubber bag is needed
Admixture is immediately correct without any
adjustments.
Very easy start-up.
Wide pressure range (3-12 bar)
Very little maintenance necessary. Simple
system easy to understand.
Only a normal atmospheric container is
needed, may well be the container from
the foam supplier.
MGF Hydrodrive-system is easy to project and
install and requires a minimum of space.
