Dock & Shipyard
Challenges
Difficult Access
Lack of Suppression Materials
Wind Aided Fire Scenarios
Close Proximity of Fuel Sources (Boats)
The MXOne addresses all the most common challenges of dock and shipyard firefighting. Difficult access to the fire itself and multiple potential layers of flammable material are met with extended range options and a variety of deployment methods to meet your specific scenario. When true volume is needed, the MXOne answers with 2490 GPM at 262 psi delivering effective water to 360 feet according to FM Global testing, through the use of the fully integrated turbine air system. 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 is extremely water volume conscious and offers incredible encapsulating properties for the smoke, particulates and debris associated with dock and shipyard 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.
Flexible deployment strategies and industry best performance allow the MXOne to be an essential part of any fire suppression system, especially when protecting critical equipment and structures in remote locations.
During a fire, water mist mode suppresses smoke spread, particulate dispersal and reduces vapor escape while effectively extinguishing deep seeded fires. . It also is excellent for pre-fire wetting and application of all wetting agents. The high-volume turbine fan can be used to clear smoke and enhance visibility after a fire.
The MXOne can be the foundation for the replacement of overhead protection without the need for re-piping and costly downtime.
Extended reach and remote operations capabilities allow your firefighters to effectively engage the objective while remaining at a safe distance.
The MXOne has the capability to utilize fresh and/or saltwater as a primary extinguishing medium with the ability to deliver any water additives including foam, encapsulants and wetting agents.
Specifications
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
MXOne – Tank Protection
The MXOne provides exceptional performance against tank and flammable liquid hazards when combined with foam. The MXOne can be configured with a water-driven foam pump allowing for fast deployment with reliable and accurate proportioning onboard.
Railcar and Fuel Terminals
The MXOne provides the ability to protect complex hazards with both water or foam from greater distances. The MXOne is designed to maximized the amount of water or foam being delivered to the hazard and, when combined with the remote control capabilities, allows responders to be further from the hazard than conventional technology.
