Food Industry
In the food and beverage industry, special regulations apply for fire protection.
Requirements
Dust generated in food production increases the risk of explosion. Defective machine parts, foreign bodies or high processing temperatures can generate overheating, sparks or embers and thus cause fires and dust explosions.
A reliable fire pump system that protects against the spread of fire is standard in such areas. As an alternative to a sprinkler system, we also design, develop, manufacture, test and deliver water spray extinguishing systems for the food industry. The reliability, effectiveness, environmental compatibility and low maintenance requirements of our systems offer the ideal solution for this industry.

Holzhauer-Pumpen was significantly involved in developing the idea of supplying pump units in compact design more than 30 years ago. Since then, we have achieved the highest level of perfection when it comes to this design, which has enabled us to defend our technological leadership over the competition.

Our HSA exhaust system is equipped with all the necessary connection parts and components that are compatible with our units. This significantly reduces assembly times. The individual components also have a much lower weight than conventional, welded steel pipe systems, which in turn allows for assembly with minimal effort.

The exhaust gas aftertreatment for our diesel systems regenerates automatically, is equipped with a pressure and temperature probe and is connected to the controller.

Noise has a negative effect on both the entire body as well as on our health. Diesel fire pump units are loud and subject to intense vibrations due to their design – thanks to our SCHALLEX system and other measures, such as encapsulation of the entire unit, we have managed to reduce vibrations and noise down to a minimum.

Our fully automatic pressure boosting systems reliably supply in the capacity range up to 1,500 mÂł/h and pressures up to 25 bar:
- Hydrant systems
- Service water systems
- Fire-fighting water circuits
- Water supply systems
The units are precisely matched, designed, manufactured and tested for the respective project specifications, pumped media and application requirements and, on request, approved on our performance test bench in accordance with all current national and international guidelines and standards. Optionally, a control room connection via PROFIBUS® / PROFINET® or Ethernet interface is possible.
