Protection Without Harm
The MXOne addresses all the most common challenges of aviation hangar firefighting. Expansive space and variable conditions are met with extended range options and a variety of application methods to meet your specific scenario. The MXOne supports foam application and water mist to suppress and extinguish even the most challenging fire situations with the firewater medium of your choice. The water mist mode also offers incredible encapsulating properties for the smoke, particulates and debris associated with aircraft hangar fires. You control the power, distance and spray pattern, all while remaining at a safe distance to mitigate any additional damage in addition to the initial ignition.
Automated detection and deployment for safe and timely fire suppression.
MXOne allows the effective delivery of your choice of foam for underwing protection, reducing the need for high expansion foam.
Extended reach capabilities with air-assisted technology keeps your fire personnel safe while engaging the fire.
Deployment options empower effective ramp operations with extended range to keep your personnel safe and effectively engage the fire hazard.
Water mist mode utilizes 20 atomizing nozzles for superior cooling, enhanced absorption for deep-seated fires, and enhanced suppression of smoke, particulates and vapors.
Efficient replacement alternative for existing overhead fluorine foam systems, lowering costs and down time.

Next-generation fire protection
The Minimax MXOne high-performance extinguishing turbine represents a new generation of fire fighting. Through an electrically adjustable jet pipe, the turbine achieves wide coverage, even with the addition of foam concentrate. The integrated position sensors provide the intelligent control system with continuous feedback on the setting mode and alignment of the extinguishing turbine.
The water mist it generates absorbs large amounts of energy in the event of a fire, providing effective cooling and, due to its three-dimensional operation, can also reach hidden sources of fire. It also binds smoke gases, pollutants, and odors and can quickly take effect over large areas. Unlike classic monitors that use a focused jet, the turbine’s gentle application of water prevents burning material from being dispersed and potentially causing additional fire spread. MXOne is unprecedented in its ability to protect urban/ wildlife interface areas, prioritizing both resedential areas and natural habitats.
With MXOne, a wide range of fire scenarios can be safelymastered. The flexible applicability of different extinguishing media plays a key role. MXOne can be operated with townwater, salt water, with and without foam concentrate admixtures (also fluorine-free).
Due to its advantageous operating parameters, the extinguishing turbine is easy to integrate into existing systems and is suitable for use in areas with temperatures ranging from -15 to +55 °C.
MXOne is – depending on the configuration – either fully automatically or remotely and manually aligned to a hot spot. Thanks to intelligent control, even two or more neighboring areas can be alternately supplied with extinguishing water using a single turbine in automatic mode. This allows several fires to be fought in parallel or nearby facilities threatened by fire to be cooled in a targeted manner.
Due to a highly hydraulically balanced and optimized design, the MXOne impresses with relatively large coverage at already low water pressure, thereby requiring less extinguishing water compared to conventional monitors or similar machines.
Variants:
- Stationary on the ground
- Stationary on tower (high pile)
- Mobile on trailer (trailer)
- Mobile on flat rack container with own power and water supply
