Foam generators used in the production of cellular concrete may be sized for any production rate, and are for use with either continuous or batch mixing systems.All units include a calibrated foam nozzle with fixed foam discharge rates from 5 cfm to 40 cfm (depending on flow).Pressure tank generating systems are optimal for operations where batching equipment is utilized. It is very cost effective when relatively small quantities of foam are required.
With pressure tank generating systems, foam liquid concentrate and water are premixed in the tank. The solution is then discharged from the pressurized tank through the foam-making nozzle. No additional water pump is required. The process is completed by air pressure alone.
Pressure tanks are supplied in sizes from 30 to 200 gallon capacity to accommodate the project size. Where continuous operation is desired, wo tanks of equal size may be coupled together in parallel, so one may be discharging foam while the other is being refilled without stopping production. Calibrated foam nozzles with discharge rates from 5 to 40 cfm are available for both pressure tank systems and continuous generating systems.
Our Auto-Foam Generator (AFG) automatically blends liquid foam concentrate with water and compressed air in fixed proportions. The AFG continuously siphons liquid foam concentrate directly from the concentrate’s container. The liquid foam concentrate is metered and blended with water yielding a premixed solution with the proper concentration ratio to produce the desired density.
This solution is then pressurized and balanced with an air source (not included). Air and the premixed solution are then metered through a nozzle, whose output can be varied by the Auto-Foam Generator. The nozzle is designed for the production of a fine micro-bubbled foam of a specific density and quantity.
