Ameriflo FM Diesel Engine Approval

After over a year of intensive product development and an extremely stringent testing schedule, Ameriflo is proud to announce it’s Factory Mutual (FM) approval of the 9050 Diesel Engine program.  This Factory Mutual approval covers the first 15 Ameriflo Diesel engines from 121 HP through an incredible 1207 horsepower.  Speed ranges from 2950 RPM down through 1460 RPM.  An additional 12 Diesel engines are going through final FM testing to have a total of 24 Diesel engines with Factory Mutual approval.

The Ameriflo Diesel engine is the most diverse and efficient Diesel engine product line available today.  The Diesel engine group has spent considerable time developing blocks with a horsepower range that is simply not available from the competition.  Ameriflo already has nearly 30 Diesel engines that are UL Listed and the FM approval adds to the heritage of this product line.

Ameriflo Diesel engines have features that the other Diesel engine manufactures simply do not have.  The Diesel engine cradle is a unique and specifiable feature by virtually eliminating Diesel engine vibration that was historically transferred to the pump and system piping.  The Diesel engine cradle also houses the emergency contractors, complete cooling loop and the Diesel engine pre-heater.  The Ameriflo Vibration Isolation Cradle (VIC) has integral engine mounts that completely isolate the Diesel engine vibration from being transferred to the pump base assembly,  This is a feature that no other Diesel engine manufacturer has.  This VIC greatly reduces oscillations found from other Diesel engine manufacturers and allows all Ameriflo pump assemblies to operate vibration free.

The Ameritouch digital engine controller has no “old school” gauges present.  The end user is presented with a fully digital, touch screen interface that is state of the art!  All Diesel engine parameters can be monitored from this digital interface making startup and run tests very easy.  This is yet another example of how Ameriflo is leveraging technology to be the leader in the fire protection market.

Ameriflo Leveraging Technology

Ameriflo is THE market leader in leveraging technology to design, develop and manufacture the highest quality product line available in the Fire Protection industry period. With the largest North American third party certified hydraulic offering trust your life safety applications to the new kid on the block!! There simply is no other pump manufacturer that offers the hydraulic envelope and options for product, metallurgy and integrated package solutions anywhere in the world.

We design all product in house utilizing state-of-the-art solids modeling and computational fluid dynamics software. We are one of the last pump manufacturers to still have a fully staffed engineering group in house that actually understands the product that we manufacture and are dedicated to full customer support before, during and after the sale. This technical background theme continues to the top with the President & CEO!!

The amount of interest in the product line has been truly amazing and we are very happy to have so many new accounts join the Ameriflo family. Please continue to contact us to start your next move and drive your company into a new and successful direction.

GEN-PAC Booster Systems

One of the most diverse products in the Ameriflo product line is the ability to integrate any standard fire pump (pump on a base with coupling, coupling guard and driver) into a fully integrated system.  This Genesys Booster System (GEN-PAC) offers the client a fully integrated solution that makes the installation very easy.

GEN-PAC Booster Systems are available in a variety of configurations including one electric (1E), one diesel (1D), one electric + one diesel (1E+1D), two electric (2E) or two diesel (2D) configurations.  Systems can be supplied in end suction (ES), vertical inline (VI), split case (SC) and vertical turbine (VT) product types.  While Ameriflo has expanded their offering to include this very popular option, other fire pump manufacturers have backed out of the booster system market completely.  Many current Ameriflo distributors/representatives have joined the Ameriflo group because the GEN-PAC option is needed so that they can compete in their respective markets.  This additional product line gives the Ameriflo distributor/representative a complete fire protection solution and a single source of responsibility.

Investment Cast Impellers

Investment Cast Impellers

One of the biggest differences between the Ameriflo product line and all others is the excrutiating attention to detail that they make as a primary focus.  The heart of the pump, the impellers, determine overall performance and slope of the performance curve.  Ameriflo is the ONLY pump manufacturer that standardizes on investment cast impellers for standard construction in all manufactured fire protection product lines.  These impellers have very smooth fluid passageways which have a direct effect of increased  efficiency which can be seen on all published performance curves.

Ameriflo uses very complex Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to engineer the maximum efficiency and hydraulic performance from every impeller that they manufacture.  Solid Works software allows for the most efficient designing process currently available today.  End suction (ES), vertical inline (VI), split case (SC) and vertical turbine (VT) product lines use these impellers as standard construction.  The advantages of this engineering design and casting process are visible when you look at the performance curves offered by Ameriflo.  Ameriflo leverages technology not available in the past to design and develop the most advanced product lines available in the market today.
