Ship crew and engineers rely on reliable fire suppression systems to ensure safety and protect valuable cargo. The Skum HIEX High-Expansion Foam Generators are designed to provide effective fire protection in a variety of marine applications. These generators produce high volumes of foam by coating a stainless steel perforated metal screen with high-expansion foam solution and expanding it with airflow generated by a water-powered fan. When used with SKUM METEOR-X 2% High-Expansion Foam Concentrate, these generators can achieve expansion ratios from 450:1 up to 987:1, depending on the model and operating pressure. The HIEX generators are available in a range of models with different flow rates and expansion ratios to meet specific application requirements. They are suitable for both total flooding and local application high-expansion foam systems, making them versatile tools for various marine fire protection needs. Skum HIEX generators are UL Listed, FM Approved (for certain models), and CE Marked, demonstrating their compliance with industry standards and safety regulations.

Free of charge — send us your request for Skum/Tyco equipment. Our team checks it and replies by e-mail.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
