Bring to the table win-win survival strategies to ensure proactive domination. At the end of the day, going forward, a new normal that has evolved from generation.
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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Our Polishing Pack Oil Absorbent Bags keeps your systems running cleaner and reduces environmental concerns by removing oil-related contaminants from water in sumps, recycling systems, and oil-water separators.
Benefits
- Excellent filtering capabilities
- Easy to handle and dispose of
- Cost efficient
- Custom shapes available to fit most separators
How do they work?
Water containing free oils enters the filter through the poly mesh cover. As the water flows around the multi-faceted oil-absorbing foam cells, the free oils are absorbed into the foam.
All water is repelled and continues to pass through the filter after the free oils are removed.
Typical Installation
Although they can be placed directly in the sump, the bags are typically installed with a flow dissipater plate in the clean water chamber of the oil water separator before the water is discharged to the sewer or surroundings.
They act as a polishing system by removing any floating oil sheens that may have passed through the separator. If the local sewer requirements are strict, the polishing system is highly recommended!
You can save money on your taxes when you purchase equipment by taking advantage of Section 179 of the IRS tax code. Section 179 allows business taxpayers to deduct the cost of certain property as an expense when the property is placed in service. It does not have to be depreciated out over several years. The Section 179 deduction applies to tangible personal property such as machinery and equipment purchased or leased for use in a trade or business, and if the taxpayer elects, qualified real property.
For tax years beginning after 2017, the TCJA increased the maximum Section 179 expense deduction from $500,000 to $1 million. The phase-out limit increased from $2 million to $2.5 million. These amounts are indexed for inflation for tax years beginning after 2018. For more information, see

Issue: An equipment rental company was expanding and they moved into a new facility
without a wash pad. There was plenty of indoor space but no outdoor space to put in a
new wash pad. The property owner did not want them to cut concrete or substantially
alter the property but our client still needed be able to wash their equipment onsite,
contain the water and discharge it properly to the sewer.
Solution: For a complete wash system, we recommended installing a SPT-10 Clarifier
Oil Water Separator System, an industrial-grade electric heated water pressure washer
with two portable hose reels, and a portable wash containment pad.
The portable wash pad allows them to wash as much as possible without any major
modifications to the property. They will also be able to move the entire system to a new
facility, if needed. The wash pad was equipped with pedestrian grating along both sides
so that the service personnel can work safely on a dry surface!
Above Ground Clarifier Oil Water Separator Flow Process
- The oil/water/sludge mixture enters the oil water separator
- The heavier sludge and particulates fall out of the fluid and are captured in the sludge hopper
- The oil and water mixture with lighter particulates travels up the inclined plates
- The inclined plates start to separate the mixture. Some oil rises to the top of the separator and the remainder of the particulates slide back down to the sludge hopper.
- The remaining oil and water mixture then moves through the coalescing media packs where the majority of the smaller oil particles attach to the media and combine together to form larger oil particles.
- These larger oil particles become so buoyant that they release from the media and travel to the top of the separator.
- As the oil volume in the separator reaches a certain level, the oil is drained to through piping to an oil storage tank.
- The clean water continues over the weir to the clean water chamber where it goes through a final polishing pack and out to the sewer.
