Fight fires with more efficiency, safety, and flexibility than ever before
DZ1000 LIGHT PROPORTIONer: MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY FOR FIREFIGHTERS
Fixed installation or portable? Dual use!
Our new DZ1000 light foam proportioner does both.
Thanks to its compact design, it can be easily built into fire trucks – and with just a few simple steps, it transforms into a portable unit. That gives firefighters maximum flexibility in any situation – from wildfires to building fires and even tank truck fires.
Whether you’re equipping a new vehicle or retrofitting an existing one, the DZ1000 light proportioner is the ideal choice – and a powerful replacement for faulty electric proportioners.
- Dual Use: For fixed installation and portable operation
- Wetting agent use starting from 60 l/min
- Foam concentrate proportioning rates: 0.5% & 1%
- Wetting agent proportioning rate: 0.1%
- Powerful alternative to conventional inductor proportioners (Z-type)

Key benefits of the Dual-Use proportioner at a glance:
- FROM FIXED TO PORTABLE IN JUST 1 MINUTE
Usable both as a built-in system for fire trucks and as a portable unit.
- LIGHTWEIGHT & COMPACT
Just 25 kg and the size of a standard Eurobox (35 cm tall).
- EASY TO OPERATE
Pre-set proportioning rates, controlled via ball valves.
- VERSATILE APPLICATIONS
Class A fires using wetting agent & foam.
Wetting agent for wildland and vegetation fires.
Class B fires (hydrocarbons).
- HIGH PERFORMANCE
Flow rates from 60 to 1000 l/min – perfect for continuous or pulse-mode extinguishing, with nozzles or monitors.
- PRECISE PROPORTIONING
Wetting agent (0.1 %), 0.5% and 1% foam – compatible with agents like F500 and Bioversal.
- FOAM DELIVERY BY HOLLOW JET WITH AND WITHOUT FOAMING ATTACHMENT
Works with standard nozzles – with or without foam attachments
→ No special foam pipes required = saves weight and space
- READY TO GO
No reconfiguration needed – can be loaded onto any fire truck fast.
- EASY MAINTENANCE
Quick to remove and service – no need to take the vehicle out of service.
- RELIABLE & SAFE
Pressure-proportioning and back-pressure-independent – even with long hose lines or when used from aerial ladders.
The DZ1000 light – the world’s most compact pressure proportioner – is a high-performance, modern alternative to traditional Z-type inductors.
DZ1000 light proportioner vs. Z-type proportioners – a quick comparison:
Feature | DZ1000 light Proportioning System | Z-type Proportioner |
---|---|---|
Proportioning rates |
Precise proportioning rate 0.5 %, 1 % & wetting agent (0.1 %) |
Inaccurate proportioning rates |
Pressure dependency | Back-pressure independent | High pressure loss (35–40 %) |
Operating range | Unlimited hose length | Limited hose length |
Placement | Can be positioned outside danger zone | Usually inside danger zone |
Foam generation | Foam delivery by hollow jet with and without foaming attachment | Special pipes required for foam generation, matched to the proportioner |
Choose innovation: The DZ1000 light lets you fight fires more efficiently, more safely, and with greater flexibility than ever before.
