The first firefighting turbine is constructed especially for the professional fire brigade in Bolzano.
Research and Development
The foundation stone is laid in the Research and Development (R&D) department for our solutions to fight dust, odor, and fires.
The engineering process has a high priority within the company. Decades-long experience in nozzle technology, and with machines, plant, and turbine construction, combined with our first-class and highly motivated team results in quality solutions.
Many of our ideas come to us via feedback from our customers, and we continue to develop and refine our products. It is also essential for us to research various technologies. Continual tests are carried out in cooperation with universities and competence centers.
Another favorite topic for our R&D department is the enhancement in the efficiency of all our components. Machines and solutions are continually improved, and efforts are always directed at improving the energy balance, without compromising on the quality.

Stationary Firefighting Turbine FT10e
Development of the smaller FT10e firefighting turbine for stationary firefighting. It can be operated electrically and also hydraulically.
Total throughput: 2,700 l/min (at 10 bar)
2017
Firefighting Robot TAF35
Development of the TAF35. It represents a further development of the TAF20 tracked vehicle. Optically the two models are almost identical, but the TAF35 represents a significant improvement to:
- Total throughput: 4700l/min
- Many options are available for the TAF35, among the most important are: chassis on rails/ railcar, the pressurized port, the Euro Adaptor Frame.
Patent: Railway Kit
In order to be able to act quickly and safely during operations in tunnels or subway railroads, the TAF can simply drive on rails thanks to its railway kit.
This optional feature can also be retrofitted.
2018
Patent: Variable Flow Rate Valve
Thanks to a patented diaphragm valve, the water flow rate of the turbine can be controlled variably.
2020
Patent: Laterally Swiveling Monitor
The central laterally swiveling monitor provides even more flexibility in the fight against fire.
2021
Firefighting Robot TAF60 and TAF60X
The TAF60 as well as TAF60X can push through up to 6,000 liters of water per minute.
Features: The overall height of the TAF60 is less than 2 meters, making it suitable for operations in underground garages. The TAF60X, on the other hand, has a so-called head monitor mounted on the turbine.
In the picture: TAF60X with switched-on head monitor.
Patent: Head Monitor
The head monitor can be controlled separately from the turbine and thereby increases the extinguishing area many times over.
Inclination: left, right, up and down from -17°to +17°
2024
Presenting the new FT40 Water Mist Turbine
The FT40 offers a wide range of mounting and positioning options, including overhead, ceiling, roof and wall mounting. This flexibility allows the turbine to be optimally positioned depending on the situation and local conditions. With an increased working range and extended reach downwards, areas can be covered even more efficiently: The turbine is the ideal solution for precise and effective firefighting in stationary applications.
Milestones in Development: Dust
2007
First Dust Controller DCT5
Development and construction of the first DCT5 Dust Controller. It is the first product on the market that features an internal nozzle head.
2008
Complete Product DCT40
The bigger DCT40 comes on the market. It is a complete product with a pump and remote control.
2010
First Dust Controller with two Waterways V12
The V12 Dust Controller makes its appearance. It is the first machine on the market with two waterways that can be operated remotely. The size of the droplets can also be adjusted by remote control.
2011
Dust Controller V7
The smaller version of the V7 makes its appearance.
2012
Biggest Dust Controller V22
Development of the biggest dust controller in the EmiControls fleet, the V22 (reach: 70 m). It also comes as a salt version, which also works with salt water.
2013
First Quiet Dust Controller: V12s
Development of the first quiet dust controller in the world, the V12s.
First Dust Control Lance L3
The L3, the first dust control lance is developed. Its big advantage: it is straightforward to adjust and can also be used for working indoors.
2015
New L3 Lance
The L3 Lance in a new design makes its appearance. It can be folded away and comes with wireless remote control.
2017
V7: World's First UL and CSA Certified Dust Controller
The V7 is the world's first dust controller to be certified to UL and CSA standards.
Heating Kit
In the same year, the heating kit for the dust controllers is developed. With the help of this kit, all machines can control dust down to -10 degrees.
2018
New V22
The V22 is completely overhauled and also certified to UL and CSA standards.
2019
New V12s
The quiet V12s dust controller is completely overhauled.
The first hybrid dust controller: V22Orca
The V22Orca is the first dust controller for extreme weather conditions. When dust can no longer be controlled with water mist due to the icy temperatures, the V22Orca immediately produces snow – an absolute market innovation.
2021
The new H2 System is here
he new H2 series is a versatile high-pressure fogging system and, thanks to its modular design, can be flexibly adapted to the customer's needs.
2023
CURTpro - Intelligent Dust Management System
Its intelligent and simple operation makes CURTpro a true "game changer". The control software can monitor all dust-binding machines, as well as the associated components of a system, and control them independently of each other in real time - all at the click of a mouse.
