Portable foam equipment plays a critical role in modern firefighting, particularly when dealing with flammable liquid fires, industrial hazards, and high risk environments such as fuel storage, marine terminals, aviation facilities, and chemical plants. Foam remains one of the most effective firefighting agents for Class B fires, where water alone is not sufficient to suppress vapours or prevent re ignition.
Delta Fire provides a complete range of portable foam equipment designed for rapid deployment, high performance foam generation, and reliable operation in demanding conditions.
Why Portable Foam Equipment is Essential in Firefighting
Foam firefighting systems are specifically designed to tackle flammable liquid fires by forming a stable blanket over the fuel surface. This blanket suppresses vapours, reduces oxygen availability, and prevents re ignition.
Portable foam equipment is widely used because it offers:
- Rapid deployment in emergency situations
- High efficiency foam application
- Compatibility with modern fluorine free foam concentrates
- Flexibility for industrial, marine, and on site fire response
Delta Fire’s range is engineered to provide dependable foam performance when it matters most.
Delta Fire Portable Foam Equipment Range
Delta Fire offers a full suite of portable foam equipment designed for operational flexibility and high output foam production. These systems are suitable for fire services, industrial operators, petrochemical facilities, and marine environments.
The range includes foam branchpipes, inductors, mobile foam units, and high expansion foam generators.
DF130 Mobile Foam Unit: High Capacity Portable Foam System
The DF130 Mobile Foam Unit is a one person deployable high capacity foam system designed for rapid response in high risk environments.
It is ideal for:
- Oil storage facilities
- Fuel loading terminals
- Engine rooms and boiler houses
- Solvent and chemical storage areas
Key benefits include:
- Produces over 34,000 litres of finished foam
- Runs for over 20 minutes from a 130 litre tank
- Compatible with all foam types including fluorine free foam
- Rapid deployment by a single operator
This makes it one of the most effective portable foam systems for industrial fire protection.
MK II DF130: Enhanced Durability for Harsh Environments
The MK II DF130 Mobile Foam Unit is designed for offshore, marine, and corrosive environments where equipment durability is essential.
Key enhancements include:
- Improved corrosion resistance for harsh environments
- Stainless steel and marinised components
- Increased operational resilience in saltwater exposure
- Same high foam output as the standard DF130
This version is particularly suited for marine terminals, offshore installations, and high humidity industrial environments.
Prima Foam Units: High Output Portable Fire Suppression
The Prima Foam Units are designed for rapid high volume foam discharge, delivering the equivalent fire suppression capability of multiple extinguishers.
Key advantages include:
- Extremely high foam output for fast knockdown
- Effective for flammable liquid spill fires
- Suitable for industrial, aviation, and marine applications
- Compatible with modern foam concentrates including fluorine free foam
These units are widely used in high risk locations where immediate large scale foam application is required.
Foam Branchpipes and Inductors: Precision Foam Application
Delta Fire also supplies a wide range of foam branchpipes and inductors designed to provide accurate foam proportioning and controlled application.
These include:
- HV Series Foam Branchpipes
- M Series Foam Branchpipes
- S Series Foam Branchpipes
- DF7X Foam Branchpipe
- Fast Attack Foam Branchpipe
- Z Series Foam Inductors
- Marinised Z Series Foam Inductors
These systems allow firefighters to adjust foam application depending on fire size, fuel type, and operational conditions.
Foam Generators for High Expansion Applications
Delta Fire foam generators are designed for environments requiring large scale foam production, such as warehouses, aircraft hangars, and industrial compartments.
Options include:
- Mini Excel Foam Generator
- Excel Foam Generator
- Compact Foam Generator
- Prima Foam Units
These systems deliver high expansion foam for rapid area coverage and fire suppression.
A Complete Portable Foam Capability Approach
Delta Fire portable foam equipment is designed to work as a complete system rather than individual components.
Together, the range provides:
- Mobile foam generation and application
- High capacity foam production for industrial hazards
- Precision foam control through branchpipes and inductors
- High expansion capability for large scale fire scenarios
This integrated approach ensures effective response across a wide range of fire risk environments.
Choosing the Best Portable Foam Equipment
The best portable foam equipment depends on the application:
- For industrial high risk protection, DF130 Mobile Foam Units provide high output and rapid deployment
- For marine and offshore environments, the MK II DF130 offers enhanced durability
- For rapid large scale suppression, Prima Foam Units deliver maximum foam volume
- For precision firefighting, foam branchpipes and inductors ensure controlled application
Delta Fire continues to support fire services and industrial operators with proven portable foam solutions designed for real world firefighting conditions.
