Project Overview
In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, the need for a reliable fire-fighting system led to the implementation of high-quality pumps for an essential infrastructure project. The challenge was to design and deploy a system that could handle the demanding requirements of both a cotton mill and residential units nearby. To address these needs, a combination of HP Foras series pumps and CM Pentax pumps was selected for their efficiency and performance.
The Challenge
The project aimed to provide a comprehensive fire-fighting system for a cotton mill, as well as ensure a consistent and dependable water supply for surrounding residential units. The scale of the operation required pumps that could provide high pressure and volume, with specific focus on fire-fighting reliability and water distribution. Given the size of the mill and the number of residential units, the pumps needed to be both powerful and durable while maintaining energy efficiency.
Our Solution: Series Pumps HP Foras and CM Pentax
Pentax Pumps provided the perfect solution for this challenge through the use of their HP Foras and CM Pentax pumps.
HP Foras Pumps: High Pressure, High Performance
For the fire-fighting system of the cotton mill, HP125.6/1R pumps were installed. These pumps are renowned for their high-pressure capabilities, essential for fire-fighting applications where rapid water flow is crucial for safety. The HP Foras series is known for its efficiency in handling complex fire-fighting needs, making it ideal for large-scale industrial operations like a cotton mill.
The HP125.6/1R pump is a high-performance solution for fire protection systems, capable of delivering substantial pressure for rapid water discharge in case of emergency. The robust design ensures long-lasting performance, even in demanding environments.

CM Pentax Pumps: Efficient Water Supply
In addition to the fire-fighting system, several hundred CM50 and CM160 pumps were deployed for the water supply to the residential units nearby. These pumps are designed for continuous operation, providing stable water pressure for various domestic needs. The CM Pentax series pumps are known for their energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, and quiet operation, making them ideal for residential areas where noise and energy consumption need to be minimized.


The CM50 and CM160 pumps are versatile, compact, and highly effective at handling variable water demand, ensuring residents always have access to water. These pumps are part of Pentax's commitment to delivering high-quality solutions that combine durability, low energy consumption, and ease of use.
Results
The installation of the HP Foras and CM Pentax pumps has proven to be highly successful in meeting the demands of the project. The fire-fighting system for the cotton mill is now equipped with high-pressure pumps that ensure rapid response in the event of a fire. The nearby residential units benefit from a reliable water supply, with the CM Pentax pumps providing constant water pressure, even during peak usage times.
The outcome of this project highlights the importance of selecting the right equipment for critical infrastructure needs. Thanks to Pentax Pumps, the fire-fighting and water supply systems in Ho Chi Minh City are now more reliable, efficient, and capable of handling future demands with ease.

By using the HP Foras series for fire-fighting and CM Pentax pumps for water supply, the project team was able to deliver an effective and sustainable solution that meets the needs of both industrial and residential users.
