MAN TGS33.400 Foam Fire Truck with 500Kg Dry Powder
This foam fire truck is built on the MAN TGS33.400 6×4 chassis and combines a Rosenbauer R600 pump with a dry powder system, giving two extinguishing agents from one vehicle. It serves refinery, port and industrial brigades. The headline figure is 500Kg of dry powder alongside 90L/s of foam solution at 1.0MPa, so a crew can switch agent without changing vehicle.
The MAN D2066LF49 engine produces 294kw under Euro 3 emission control, on a 15000kg maximum total mass, with a PTO rated for pump operation. The R600 pump delivers 90L/s at 1.0MPa, primed by a piston primer pump to 85 kPa or more in 80 s or less. Two PH48 proportioners meter foam at 3% or 6%.
The dry powder tank is a pressure vessel welded from Q345R material, with a filling port, a discharge port, a nitrogen delivery pipe and a discharge tube. A ring-shaped nitrogen manifold with multiple intake valves fluidises the powder evenly and keeps it out of the gas pipe. Working pressure is 1.2 to 1.4MPa, with 2 sets of dry powder gun and 30m hose reel.
The powder system throws 5Kg/s over 12m or more, which covers spill and pressure fires that foam alone will not knock down. A reducing valve, a safety valve and a control box with air source main valve, air filter, solenoid valve, fuse box and relay complete the installation. Grouping those parts in one box shortens fault finding during a call-out.

Where it fits
Refinery, tank farm and port incidents where foam alone may not knock down a pressure fire. The 500Kg dry powder system and the 90L/s pump give two agents from one vehicle.
