Foam Application

Foam is created by mixing water, detergent and air together and applying it via a hose with a special nozzle or lance onto the surfaces and equipment. The foam detergent will typically be applied at 3 to 5%v/v, depending on the soil to be removed, materials of construction and water hardness.

Three common types of equipment employed to apply detergents as foam are:

The CH High Pressure Injector is a quality injector that should give trouble free operation if installed and maintained correctly.
The injector provides a safe, controlled and economic method for dilution of chemical into a high-pressure line for either application of foam or spray. It is not suitable for open container filling. This simple injector requires no electricity and is driven by the water flow.
The unit is usual attached to a high-pressure outlet point (mobile machine or fixed pipework drop point) with the normal high-pressure hose gun and nozzle attached to it.
The chemical pick up hose is available in two colours Red - Detergent and Blue - Disinfectant.

The Dema Portable Foam Unit is a non-pressurised fully mobile foam generator requiring only an air supply. The reservoir is filled with pre-diluted foam detergent solution and connected to an industrial air supply.
The air supply operates the on board pump, which draws the prediluted foam detergent out of the reservoir. A single adjustment valve allows the dryness of the foam to be adjusted.
A 10 metre foam hose, control valve and foam nozzle allow the application of high quality foam to an area. The units can be used to generate foam, apply gels as a gelled liquid or as a mousse, or spray detergents and disinfectants (nozzle size and design will need to be changed to suit application).

The Jetstream 850 Canister Foamer is a fully mobile Foam Generator requiring only an air supply.
The canister is filled with pre-diluted foam detergent solution and connected to an industrial air supply. A 15 metre foam hose, control valve and foam nozzle allow the application of high quality foam to an area. A single adjustment valve allows the dryness of the foam to be adjusted. The units can be used to generate foam, apply gels as a gelled liquid or as a mousse, or spray detergents and disinfectants (nozzle size and design will need to be changed to suit application).
