A standard Metalsin‘s skid-mounted fire pump unit includes the following key components:

• Main Fire Pump: A high-performance centrifugal pump driven by either an electric motor or a diesel engine, providing consistent high flow and pressure for firefighting operations.
• Jockey (Pressure Maintenance) Pump: Maintains system pressure during standby conditions, preventing unnecessary start-ups of the main fire pump and extending equipment lifespan.
• Control System: Comprising an electrical control cabinet, pressure sensors, and an automatic control device, this system enables automatic start and stop of the pumps based on pressure conditions, ensuring rapid response in case of fire.
• Valves and Piping: Includes suction and discharge manifolds, check valves, control valves, and other fittings to ensure smooth, leak-free, and reliable water flow.
• Base and Frame: All components are securely mounted on a robust steel skid, allowing for easy transportation, installation, and alignment on site.
