Recycling & Landfill
Challenges
Subsurface Fire Hazard
Hazardous Gas Accumulation
Ground Stability Concerns
Personnel Safety
The MXOne actively addresses all the most common challenges associated with recycling yard and landfill firefighting. Fires that occur under the apparent ground level are unique in the methodology and technology required to suppress them effectively. With a variety of spray pattern options, including a water mist mode that will encapsulate and lower the heat energy in even the most stubborn sub-surface fire, the MXOne offers the capability and flexibility to address these challenging situations. In addition to providing excellent cooling properties, the water mist mode is exceptional at encapsulating and controlling any gas accumulation and disbursements. With extended reach capabilities, the MXOne allows the safest possible fire-fighting range for surface locations that may include unstable ground. At Minimax, capability and performance are aligned with safety to empower and protect your most important asset – your people.
Automated detection and deployment for safe and timely fire suppression.
Flexible deployment methods 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.
Extended reach and remote operations capabilities allow your firefighters to effectively engage the objective while remaining at a safe distance.
MXone can protect evacuation routes and safe zones guarding safe egress from active fire areas.
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 has the capability to utilize fresh and/or saltwater allowing the use of virtually any extinguishing medium.
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
