Foamers are chemical applicators that use compressed air to create thick foam that can be projected onto any surface. Foamers greatly improve the effectiveness of cleaners and disinfectants since they increase the surface dwell time and assure complete coverage.  Using foam also reduces the over-application of chemical since you can see exactly where the chemical has been applied.

Foamer Applications

  • Large Area Foam Cleaning
  • Food & Beverage Processing
  • Industrial
  • Metal Processing
  • Military
  • Farming
  • Paper Mills
  • Odor Control

Foamers are available in a variety of configurations to suit large or small jobs. They can be used as a pre-wash, a post-wash disinfectant, or general wash in facilities where plumbed water is unavailable. In facilities without compressed air, foamers can use boosted water pressure, a venturi injection system and atmospheric air to create foam.

A range of foam volumes and throw distances are available.  We can recommend the best model to use based on your application and desired coverage speed.  Wall mount models include heavy-duty stainless steel mounting enclosures and portable models feature heavy-duty stainless steel carts.

Air Pump-Fed Foamers

These units are powered by compressed air and are designed for use in facilities where plumbed water pressure is unavailable, unreliable or lower than the 35 PSI required. An air-operated diaphragm pump, mounted inside a stainless steel enclosure, draws and pressurizes a ready-to-use chemical solution to produce foam and project it through the hose, wand and nozzle to any surface up to 15 feet. The portable model draws pre-diluted chemical from an integrated tank on a cart and the mounted model draws from a customer-supplied stationary tank.

Portable Features

  • Adjustable foam consistency (wet/dry)

Boosted & High Water Pressure Venturi Foamers

These water-driven venturi injection systems use boosted water pressure (125-350 psi), high water pressure (400-1000 psi) or a pressure washer to draw and blend chemical concentrate from a tank into the water stream to create an accurately diluted solution. Air is injected into the solution to create the foam which is then projected through the nozzle onto surfaces at distances from 15 to 45 feet. The portable model draws pre-diluted chemical from an integrated tank on a cart and the mounted model draws from a customer-supplied stationary tank.

High Pressure Airless Foamers

Our Airless Foamers are medium to high volume foam applicators for projecting foaming chemicals without compressed air. Just attach it to a wall and connect it to a water source. These systems use venturi injection and boosted water pressure to draw and blend chemical concentrate into the water stream to create an accurately diluted solution. The solution then flows through the discharge hose and trigger gun to the “airless” foam wand that draws in atmospheric air to create foam.  The foam can be projected on to any surface at distances up to 12 feet (depending on water pressure and nozzle).

foaming-sanitizing-rinse-systems.png

We can help you design multi-function systems consisting of proportioning, sanitizing, foaming and/or rinsing systems.

Proportioning & Foaming Systems

Our water driven chemical proportioning system will automatically refill a tank with ready-to-use chemical solution. When the solution in the tank drops below a pre-set level, the float valve triggers an air-activated solenoid to start the water flow. Using city water pressure, a venturi injection system draws and blends chemical concentrate into the water stream to create an accurately diluted solution. The system cycles continuously. Dual magnetic float valve design includes a primary valve to regulate normal operation and a secondary fail-safe valve to shut off the system if the primary float valve malfunctions.

Upon demand, an air driven pump system will transfer ready-to-use chemical solution to the foamer. The foamer creates foam by injecting compressed air into the solution to greatly increase volume and coverage ability. The foam is then projected through the discharge hose and nozzle on to any surface at distances up to 12 feet.

Proportioning & Foamer System

  • Heavy-duty chemical tank with drain
  • Magnetic float valves (primary and fail-safe) with polypropylene floats
  • Air inlet ball valve
  • Air-activated water solenoid
  • Machined injector body
  • Color-coded precision metering tips
  • Polypropylene 1/2″ air-operated double diaphragm pump
  • Compressed air ball valve & regulator/filter with gauge
  • Chemical solution suction tube with strainer
  • Discharge hose with MPT fitting
  • Machined foamers
  • Stainless steel inlet and discharge ball valves
  • 50′ hoses, polypropylene foam wand & fan nozzle
  • Stainless steel hose hangars

Sanitizing & Rinsing System

We can design combination systems for applying one chemical as foam, another chemical as a sanitizing spray and for rinsing. Using standard city water pressure, a venturi injection system draws and blends chemical concentrates into the water streams to create accurately diluted solutions using precision metering tips to control chemical usage. Compressed air is injected into the foaming solution which is then projected through the foam hose and fan nozzle. The sanitizer solution can be projected as a “flooding” spray for fast complete coverage. Finally, the system rinses at full pressure using stainless steel nozzles.

Features

  • Designed for precision foam application, and to rinse and sanitize medium to large surfaces and objects
  • Adjustable foam consistency (wet/dry)
  • Stainless steel mounting bracket
  • Stainless steel inlet and discharge ball valves
  • Machined foamer and sanitizer bodies
  • Color-coded precision metering tips to set dilution ratios
  • Combo foam / sanitize hose, polypropylene foam wand and fan nozzle
  • Rinse hose and stainless steel nozzle

Cleaning and effective disinfecting are critical elements to maintaining a healthy farm. It is not possible to completely sterilize every surface but it is important to do as much as possible to ensure that disease transmission is not likely to occur.

According to most veterinarians, the best practices for cleaning and disinfecting animal farms generally consists of the following six steps:

  • Pre-clean – Pre-clean by removing excess organic material by scraping, shoveling, and sweeping. You can also pre-soak to soften dried waste and then pre-rinse. Soaking normally cuts down on the washing time.
  • Clean – Do your main cleaning with an appropriately-sized pressure washing system and detergent. Hot and cold water can be used. Although it will speed up cleaning, hot water may cause steam and visibility problems in the winter. Pressure washers come in range of flow rates and pressure ratings so choose one that fits your operation and does not cause harm to the staff or facilities.  Finally, choose a safe, effective cleaning solution to maximize your cleaning process. It will help break down and remove organics and grease better than plain water.
  • Rinse – After washing, rinse all surfaces very well to remove loose waste, grease and detergent.
  • Disinfect – Disinfection is the next critical step in the cleaning process to kill the bacteria. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maintains an extensive list of approved disinfectants. Numerous industry and university sources can be utilized to help you choose the best one to fit your target pathogen. Most disinfectants are designed to be applied as foam. Foamers are especially effective with disinfectants since they increase the surface dwell time and assure complete coverage since they show exactly where the disinfectant has been applied.
  • Final Rinse – A final rinse with the pressure washer is required to remove all of the disinfectant.
  • Drying – Sufficient drying time is required to remove all moisture from the building and surfaces. Eliminating residual water can greatly decrease the survival rate of viruses and bacteria. If available, heaters can be used to evaporate as much water as possible before moving livestock back into the area. Although timing and space is often limited, it is recommended that the rooms be completely dried 2-3 times per year before moving the animals back to the rooms. This extra time will help dramatically reduce contamination.

We can work with your staff and custom-design a complete washing and water treatment system based on your needs.

For washing, rinsing and disinfection, we offer a range of pumping and pressure washing systems featuring manual, automated and Variable Frequency Drive controls. A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) system is one of the most cost effective units to run and maintain and allows multiple users at the same time. Critical disinfection foaming and sanitizing systems can also be added to the washing/rinsing systems.

We also can help you treat the wash water so that it can be properly discharged. If the washing process produces a lot of solids, we have a range of solutions to first separate the solids from the wash water.

We provide the following equipment:

New CF-CP Media (Cross-Flow/Corrugated Plate) Oil Water Separator Media
Image of our New CF-CP Media (Cross-Flow/Corrugated Plate)
Oil Water Separator Media

In many washing applications, solids are a main component of the washing process. Heavy solids such as rocks and muck are often washed off and fall onto the wash pad where they can be easily removed. Other, finer settleable and suspended solids, however, often become entrained in the oily wash wastewater. Separating these settleable or suspended solids from the oily wash water is critical so that they do not clog the separator media and interfere with the oil water separation process.

To insure our oil water separators work well in a high solids environment without clogging, we have introduced a new coalescing media with a corrugated, cross-flow design.

This new media design is both unique and simple. As the water enters the separator, the flow is directed evenly across the surface of the media plates. The solids are captured and fall to the trough area of the corrugated plates below and the oils rise and stick to the trough area of the plates above. This design maintains laminar flow throughout the media so the oil and solids do not remix. Since the plates are smooth, the solids slide down the corrugated plates to the hopper area where they can be easily removed. Separated oil flows upwards along the plates to the top of the separator where it can be removed.

  • Available in stainless steel, PVC, HPVC and polypropylene
  • Plate spacing of ½”, ¾” or 1 ¼” depending on application
  • Supplied in blocks for easy installation and removal

By coupling high efficiency separation with easy maintenance, this new media will ensure your oil water separator
operates at peak performance for years to come.

Oil Water Separator Forklift Solution
SPT Clarifier Oil Water Separator used for the Forklift Application Solution

Issue: A major forklift manufacturer had an old oil water separator which had failed. The source of the water was a combination of coolants, wash waters, mop waters, as well as a pressure washer water. Over a four-quarter period, the company’s routine certified quarterly wastewater testing results showed fat, oils, and grease levels of 350 to 1270 mg/l discharging to the sewer, which was well in excess of the local limit of 100 mg/l.

Solution: The following year, the company purchased a Wash Bay Solutions SPT-10 to replace the existing separator. Over the next four quarters, the FOG in the wastewater averaged 14.75 mg/l. The actual test results were: 21, 27, 0, and 11mg/l.

Industrial Manufacturing Plant Fat and Grease (mg/I) vs. Time Oil Water Separator replaced with Wash Bay Solutions SPT System

Oil Water Separator Solution

Due to the unique design of the SPT unit, it has more opportunity to separate oil and grease than the typical oil water separator. While the SPT is not designed to break an emulsion, due it’s multiple compartments, it can trap and hold back some emulsions. Since it introduction, the SPT has been shipped to many different countries throughout the world. Additionally, many Fortune 500 companies have standardized the unit in their facilities, plants, and processes.
