Kirloskar Brothers Limited (KBL), one of India’s leading pump manufacturer, introduced its advanced Smart Skid-Mounted Fire Pump Set, marking a major step forward in intelligent fire protection solutions. The system was inaugurated by Madhuritai Misal, minister of state for urban development, government of Maharashtra, highlighting KBL’s commitment to enhancing fire safety infrastructure across India’s rapidly growing urban and industrial landscape.
Integrated Smart Fire Protection Solution
KBL designed the Smart Skid-Mounted Fire Pump Set as a fully integrated and factory-tested fire protection solution. The system combines FM/UL-certified motor and engine pump sets with IoT-enabled remote monitoring technology to ensure superior reliability and operational efficiency.
The advanced firefighting system delivers a flow rate of 170 m³/hr (748.49 US gpm) at a head of 100 metres (approximately 142 psi), making it suitable for demanding fire safety applications. In addition, the smart solution offers real-time performance visibility, predictive maintenance capabilities and enhanced operational readiness.
Faster Installation with Plug-and-Play Design
One of the key advantages of the Smart Skid-Mounted Fire Pump Set is its pre-packaged,
plug-and-play configuration. Unlike conventional firefighting systems, the skid-mounted design eliminates the need for extensive civil foundations and reduces dependency on highly skilled on-site labour.
As a result, users can significantly cut installation time and project costs while ensuring seamless commissioning. Furthermore, KBL has incorporated built-in safety features and OEM-backed quality assurance to improve long-term system reliability and performance.
KirloSmart™ Fire Enables Real-Time Monitoring
At the heart of the new solution is KirloSmart™ Fire, KBL’s IoT-based remote monitoring platform. The digital platform enables operators to monitor pump performance in real time from virtually any location. By offering proactive monitoring and predictive maintenance alerts, the system minimizes the risk of unexpected equipment failure and ensures that fire protection systems remain operational at all times. Depending on project requirements, the Smart Skid-Mounted System can also integrate with standard fire pump sets as well as MSMO (Multi-Stage Multi-Outlet) fire pump systems.
Ideal for Commercial, Industrial and Infrastructure Projects
KBL’s Smart Skid-Mounted Fire Pump Set is designed to serve a broad range of sectors and applications. These include commercial buildings, hotels, hospitals, educational institutions, railway stations, warehouses, industrial facilities, residential complexes, construction sites and congested marketplaces. Moreover, its compact and retrofit-ready design makes it particularly suitable for space-constrained locations and for upgrading ageing fire protection systems. The modular configuration also simplifies transportation, positioning and commissioning.
KBL Strengthens Future-Ready Fire Safety Solutions
As one of India’s leading firefighting pump manufacturers, KBL continues to provide comprehensive fire protection solutions, including fire pump sets, drivers, controllers and accessories for industrial, commercial, institutional and infrastructure sectors. As per the press release, through the integration of digital intelligence and proven firefighting technology, KBL is driving the next generation of smart, efficient and future-ready fire safety infrastructure in India.
