Magirus has introduced the Poseidon pump family, a new lineup of submersible pumps aimed at addressing the increasing frequency and severity of flood emergencies and supporting fire brigades and rescue services in managing water-related crises. This innovative pump range has been designed to meet the demands of extreme weather conditions, reflecting Magirus’ commitment to equipping emergency responders with adaptable, high-capacity equipment.

Diverse Models for Flood and Water Management

The Poseidon family comprises three distinct models, each optimized for handling specific types of water and sludge often encountered during flood events. For situations involving dense sludge, the sludge pump model operates with a flow rate of 430 litres per minute at a delivery head of 12 metres and weighs 15 kg. This pump’s capacity to manage more viscous materials makes it ideal for heavy-duty sludge removal in challenging conditions. The dirt water pump model, meanwhile, is built for use in contaminated water environments, featuring a flow rate of 225 litres per minute with a 10.5-metre delivery head and a weight of just 11.3 kg, ensuring both efficiency and ease of transport. The shallow water pump model is particularly suited to low-water-level conditions, with a flow rate of 205 litres per minute, an 11-metre delivery head, and a 12 kg weight, optimized for simplified handling in shallow water scenarios.

Key Specifications and Versatile Features of the Poseidon TP 4/1

A standout within this new family is the Poseidon TP 4/1 pump, designed for ease of mobility and adaptability in various emergency situations. The TP 4/1 offers a high flow rate of 420 litres per minute at a pressure of 1 bar, supported by a delivery head of 10 metres. Engineered with a dual-handle design, this model can be easily transported by one or two people as needed. Additionally, the pump’s adjustable pressure outlet can switch between horizontal and vertical applications, enhancing its versatility. The flat suction function allows operation at water levels as low as 10 mm, making the TP 4/1 a flexible solution for both urban and rural flood response scenarios.

Magirus' Approach to Climate-Related Challenges

The Poseidon pump family is part of Magirus’ broader response to the intensified flood risks arising from shifting climate patterns. By developing this pump series, Magirus seeks to enhance emergency teams' efficiency in responding to flood-related rescues, particularly as heavy rainfall events become more frequent. Each pump in the Poseidon range has been built to withstand the challenges of diverse water management scenarios, ensuring reliability and ease of use under demanding conditions.

Design and Usability Enhancements for Emergency Teams

Reflecting Magirus’ focus on reliability, usability, and capacity, the Poseidon pumps are crafted for straightforward deployment and rapid response. The TP 4/1, for instance, facilitates flood management with minimal setup, thanks to its easily adjustable settings and ergonomic design. This range is expected to serve as a valuable asset for fire brigades and rescue services, particularly in situations where rapid mobilization and effective water and sludge management are paramount.

The introduction of the Poseidon pump family demonstrates Magirus' commitment to innovative solutions that support flood-related emergency services. With diverse models tailored to specific water handling needs, Magirus underscores the importance of robust and adaptable equipment to help emergency responders navigate increasingly challenging flood conditions effectively.
