Deicing and cold-weather operations

IDEX Fire & Safety nozzles and monitors have been developed to apply Type I deicing fluid at elevated temperatures and higher pressures to melt or remove ice, snow and frost from the most critical surfaces of an aircraft.

For the application of anti-icing, Akron Type IV nozzles and monitors operate at lower pressures and flows ensuring quality product disbursement without the worry of sheer to prevent ice and snow from forming on the aircraft.

Deice with the StreamMaster Electric Monitor

This electric remote-control monitor delivers a jet of high-temperature air through a low profile 4” airway to remove accumulated snow from the surfaces of the aircraft prior to deicing operations. It has a wide range of horizontal and vertical movement with adjustable stops and manual overrides. The StreamMaster is available with 12-volt or 24-volt motors and actuators and a variety of remote controls. An automatic stow feature is available.

Hale’s 8FG Pump

Hale’s 8FG was designed specifically for high flow industrial firefighting applications. Built utilizing the popular G gearbox, the 8FG is manufactured for reliable operation. The compact design requires less space in your truck freeing up space for water, foam, or equipment.

Optimizing ARFF operations

In 2002, Akron Brass started working with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) Fire Research Group at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida. The AFRL is responsible for developing new equipment and techniques to meet evolving firefighting needs around the world.

The lab found that applying Class B foams at pressures up to 1,200 psi could significantly reduce the amount of agent needed. This concept may enable handling larger fires with fewer or smaller ARFF units. Akron Brass has since worked with AFRL to design a remote-control monitor, monitor nozzle, and handline nozzle to handle high-pressure foam streams.
