Application

The MU-MPF series comprises marine portable diesel engine pumps designed primarily for emergency services, firefighting, and compartment drainage aboard ships. These pumps are self-priming and suitable for pumping seawater.

Characteristics

• Compact and lightweight design facilitates transport by one or two operators using handles and wheels.
• Self-priming capability with an automatic vacuum pump requiring no operator intervention.
• Control panel equipped with engine monitoring instruments, manual throttle, and suction and discharge pressure gauges.

Performance Specifications

Pump Design

• Centrifugal single-stage pump constructed from light alloy resistant to seawater corrosion.
• Impeller made of nickel-aluminium-bronze for enhanced resistance to seawater and cavitation.
• Oversized stainless steel shaft (AISI 316L) minimizes deflection under hydraulic loads.
• Durable mechanical seal with hard faces, resistant to dry running conditions.
• Integrated thrust bearing prevents axial load on the engine shaft.
• Removable aluminium-bronze wear rings on casing and cover for maintenance.
• Multiple rapid coupling nozzle options (UNI 810, Storz, Camlock); MU 65-200 MPF includes flanged nozzles and discharge valve.
• High vacuum pump driven by belt and clutch with automatic or manual start/stop functionality.

Diesel Engine

• 3-cylinder, 4-stroke diesel engines by Lombardini or Yanmar featuring indirect injection and preheating.
• Sea water cooling via bronze heat exchanger with zinc anode for corrosion protection.
• Compact design with dry air filter, cooled exhaust, and anticorrosion treatment suitable for marine environments.
• Heavy-duty, maintenance-free timing belt.
• Digital dashboard with warning lights, acoustic alarm, and indicators for speed, temperature, battery voltage, and working hours.
• Electric key start powered by removable 12 V battery with fast connector (standard on MU 50-200 MPF and MU 65-200 MPF).
• Removable external 10 L fuel reservoir plus internal reserve tank for uninterrupted operation during refueling (MU 50-200 MPF and MU 65-200 MPF).

Standard Accessories

• 12 V removable battery with fast connector
• Digital dashboard with alarms and indicators
• Delivery valve
• Vacuum and pressure gauges
• Manual lever accelerator and engine hand stop
• Two 12 V sockets for external utilities
• Removable fuel reservoir (MU 50-200 MPF only)

Optional Accessories

• Orientable headlight
• 220 V battery charger
• Various suction and delivery fast couplings compliant with different standards

Dimensions and Weight

Connections and Accessories

The pumps include standardized suction and discharge connections with options such as UNI 810, Storz, Camlock, and flanged types depending on the model. Additional connections include a 12 V electric output, exhaust outlet (Ø 40 mm), pump washing port (G 1/2”), and priming filling port (G 3/8”).

Accessories provided include valves, external fuel reservoirs, 12 V batteries with fast connectors, plugs, lifting eye bolts, instruction nameplates, and throttle controls.

Summary

The MU-MPF series portable fire pumps are robust, corrosion-resistant, and specifically engineered for marine firefighting and drainage tasks. Their compact design, automatic priming system, and comprehensive instrumentation make them ideal for emergency use on ships. Multiple models allow selection based on required flow rates and suction heights. Standard and optional accessories enhance operational flexibility and ease of maintenance.
