The Torrentula Valve Bambi Bucket features a fast-acting, reliable, innovative
valve that provides several advantages to helicopter operators during
wildland or interface fire suppression:
* Multiple Water Drops: each Bucket load can be unloaded in as many separate dumps as the operator requires * Variable Flow Rate: infinitely variable from 0 - 100% * Faster Bucket Filling: in addition to the traditional fast dip fill of the standard Bambi Bucket, the new Torrentula Bambi Bucket is capable of a very fast Bottom Fill * Quick Open & Close: split second valve actuation allows precision drops |
The Torrentula Valve Bambi Bucket integrates the same high quality standards and characteristics of portability, ease of use, and reliability that have always been the trademark of SEI's industry-leading products.

* Uniform drop pattern: low restriction valve offers the same
excellent drop pattern for which the traditional Bambi is renown * Simple and quick set-up to helicopter: external hook load, operated by pilot * Reliability: operating motor is in the water-proof control head and not inside the bucket * Compatibility with the FireSock: for increased fire knockout strength and excellent foam dispersion * Foldable: for compact storage onboard the helicopter |
