Head of DKI Jakarta Gulkarmat Service, Satriadi Gunawan, said the reason this robot was presented as one of the lifeless officers of the Gulkarmat army was to reduce the risk of other lifeless officers when extinguishing a fire in a place prone to explosions.

“This is for operations that are dangerous in nature, such as in oil refineries or in places where there is a chemical hazard or that could result in an explosion,” said Satriadi, Thursday, February 13, 2020.

The robot is equipped with a tank with a capacity of 2,500 liters of water, and 500 liters of foam, and has a water pressure above 15 bar.

Unmitigated, the robot from Croatia is capable of spraying water as far as 55 meters, and foam as far as 45 meters.

Robot LUF 60

Meanwhile, the second robot is a LUF 60 robot. This time, the robot is simpler and comes from Austria.

Reporting from the LUF 60 luf60.at sales site, this damkar robot can only be operated with a maximum distance of 300 meters and is intended as a fire extinguisher with a low risk of explosion.

Because of its compact dimensions, the LUF 60 robot can reach narrow areas such as tunnels and can climb stairs with an inclination of 30 degrees.

With a width of 1.35 meters, the robot is claimed to overcome fires in narrow places such as densely populated settlements, narrow alleys that are impossible to pass through fire trucks.

Even though it is small, the superiority of the LUF 60 over the previous robots is the longer water spray distance, which is as far as 70-80 meters in the form of water fog, water canon and foam.

This one robot does not have a water tank and requires a water supply from a hose that is plugged into the back of the robot.

So that the LUF 60 has to work not far from water sources such as fire tank trucks, river water sources, reservoirs, and the sea.

The LUF 60 dimensions are 2.33 meters long, 1.35 meters wide, 2 meters high fan pipes and weighs 2,200 kilograms.

The LUF 60 uses a 104 kilo Watt John Deere diesel engine with four water-cooled cylinders.
