SALAMAQ 2026: ZEPPELIN MAQUINARIA WILL HOLD A LIVE ECOFIRE DEMONSTRATION

Zeppelin Maquinaria will showcase the effectiveness of ECOFIRE® at SALAMAQ 2026 in a live demonstration alongside its creator, César Sallén.

At this year’s Salamaq 2026, we will be showcasing our Rural First Response Unit, equipped with a 2,000-liter tank and ready to apply ECOFIRE®. César Sallén will participate in a live demonstration and will be available for statements and interviews with interested media outlets.

At Zeppelin, we are putting the finishing touches on preparations for SALAMAQ 2026, which will take place September 3–7 at the Salamanca Fairgrounds, where the company will be at booth 311.

In this edition, we want to place special emphasis on fire prevention and the protection of rural areas, and one of the main highlights of our exhibition will be the Rural First Response Unit, a solution designed to provide the capacity to act directly in the field and facilitate a rapid response to emergencies.

The presentation will also feature a major highlight: César Sallén, the creator of ECOFIRE®, will visit SALAMAQ 2026 and give a live demonstration of the product, allowing attending professionals to see firsthand how it performs in a fire and its potential applications. César Sallén is the creator and inventor of ECOFIRE®, a solution developed specifically for fire prevention and suppression.

During his visit to SALAMAQ 2026, César Sallén will also be available to speak with interested media outlets, issue statements, and grant interviews regarding ECOFIRE®, its development, operation, and potential applications in fire prevention and firefighting.

ECOFIRE®, From Product to Real-World Demonstration

The demonstration at SALAMAQ 2026 will allow us to bring the features of ECOFIRE® directly to the field and show farmers, ranchers, distributors, government agencies, and rural professionals how it works in a practical, controlled test.

The product is designed to act directly on the fire and to create barriers that hinder the spread of flames, thereby expanding the range of options for both firefighting and fire prevention. Its creator explains that the product can be used both for direct attack and to create lines of protection against the spread of a fire.

César Sallén ’s presence will also provide an opportunity to personally explain the technology, answer technical questions, and demonstrate its effectiveness in real time, making Zeppelin’s presentation at SALAMAQ 2026 a gathering place to learn about the possibilities that these types of solutions can offer in rural settings.

A First Response Unit Designed for Rural Areas

We have integrated the ECOFIRE® application into a solution specifically designed to facilitate initial response in rural areas. The Rural First Response Unit, which will be on display at SALAMAQ 2026, features a towed tank with a capacity of 2,000 liters, a pump, and two hose reels—a configuration that allows for operation from various points around the unit. The unit is designed for the application of ECOFIRE®, a fire-retardant product, and is intended as a support tool for initial response on farms, estates, and in rural areas. Its towed design also makes it easy to use alongside agricultural machinery, allowing the equipment to be deployed directly in the field.

The proposal is based on a reality that is particularly important in rural areas: the ability to act during the initial moments of an incident can be crucial in limiting its spread until professional emergency services arrive. With this unit, at Zeppelin we aim to offer agricultural and livestock operations, professionals, organizations, and government agencies a solution that strengthens the resources available for an initial response to a fire.

Prevention Before Flames Break Out

The presentation of this unit is part of a broader message that we at Zeppelin Maquinaria want to convey during SALAMAQ 2026: prevention begins long before a fire breaks out.

For this reason, together with the Rural First Response Unit, we will bring various models of brush cutters and shredders to Salamanca—machinery designed to mechanize the cleaning and maintenance of land, manage vegetation, brush, and plant debris, and keep the areas in better condition. The combination of these solutions allows us to address two distinct yet complementary areas: on the one hand, preventive land maintenance through the mechanical control of vegetation and debris; and, on the other, the availability of resources for an initial response when an incident occurs. Thus, our proposal for SALAMAQ 2026 aims to put forward a clear idea: to work on the ground before an emergency arises and to have tools available that allow for a rapid response when every minute counts.

Much More Than Just Prevention: A Wide Range of Zeppelin Machinery

Although fire prevention will take center stage at this year’s event, Zeppelin’s presence in Salamanca will be rounded out by a broad selection of our various lines of machinery. We will showcase solutions for shredding and brush clearing, land preparation and maintenance, inter-row cultivation, spraying and treatments, pruning, and plant residue management, as well as numerous tractor implements and auxiliary equipment. Also on display will be Rhinoceros Industrial’s range of industrial and construction machinery, solutions for professional cleaning and maintenance, and a wide selection of Hanwo and Rhinoceros Tractors. Visitors will thus be able to explore a product lineup that spans agricultural and livestock work to construction, earthmoving, professional cleaning, and environmental maintenance.
