Magirus introduces Poseidon pump family for flood emergency response

Magirus has launched the Poseidon pump family, a new range of submersible pumps aimed at supporting fire brigades and rescue services in flood-related emergencies.

Developed to handle the growing challenges posed by extreme weather and flood events, the Poseidon series features the TP 4/1 pump, which delivers 420 litres per minute at 1 bar with a delivery head of 10 metres.

This model includes features such as an adjustable pressure outlet for horizontal or vertical application and a flat suction function capable of operating down to 10 mm, enhancing flexibility for various field conditions.

With these specifications, the Poseidon TP 4/1 is designed to be easily transported by one or two people, thanks to its ergonomic dual-handle design.

This new range of pumps reflects Magirus’ approach to creating equipment that can be adapted to multiple emergency scenarios, particularly where flood management and rapid response are required.

The Poseidon pump family includes three different models, each suited to specific water and sludge handling needs encountered during flood events.

Magirus reports that the dirt water pump model operates with a flow rate of 225 litres per minute at a 10.5-metre delivery head and weighs 11.3 kg, intended for ease of transport and use in contaminated water settings.

The second model, the shallow water pump, is aimed at areas where water levels are particularly low, offering a flow rate of 205 litres per minute and an 11-metre delivery head.

This pump’s design is intended for simplified handling in such conditions, weighing in at 12kg.

For applications involving dense substances, the sludge pump model operates at a flow rate of 430 litres per minute with a delivery head of 12 metres.

Designed to handle more viscous materials, this pump has been developed to support heavy-duty water and sludge removal and weighs 15 kg.

Magirus has stated that the introduction of the Poseidon pump family aligns with their response to the heightened flood risks associated with changing weather patterns.

Designed to address both the operational demands of flood-related rescues and the increasing frequency of heavy rainfall events, these pumps are built to aid emergency responders in managing water-related emergencies efficiently.

This pump family has been developed to withstand the demands of extreme weather conditions, enabling fire brigades and rescue services to mobilise quickly and respond effectively in diverse flood scenarios.

Magirus underscores that the Poseidon series was created with an emphasis on reliability, high capacity, and usability, aiming to support emergency teams in addressing flood emergencies more efficiently.

The Poseidon TP 4/1 submersible pump is designed to facilitate efficient flood management with minimal setup.

Magirus highlights the model’s adjustable pressure outlet, allowing operators to shift between horizontal and vertical settings, which adds to its versatility in various field conditions.

Additionally, the flat suction capability of the TP 4/1 enables operations down to a water level of 10 mm, addressing a need for flexibility in low water situations.

Weighing under typical pump standards, the TP 4/1 also incorporates a dual-handle design, making it transportable by one or two operators as needed.

These operational features contribute to the pump’s adaptability, particularly for use in urban and rural flood response scenarios.
