Foam Concentrate and Foam Eductors
Class A Foam Concentrate
Chemguard CA+ foam concentrate is a combination of foaming and
wetting agents for use on wood, paper, textiles, wild land fires, wooden
structures, and more. It is used at application rates ranging from 0.1% to 1.0 percent. CA+ is 3 to 5 times more effective than plain
water. The concentrate is also biodegradable, non-corrosive, and
nontoxic. (The Material Safety Data Sheet is available
here.)
CA+ is FULLY APPROVED by the U.S.D.A. Forest Service as meeting ALL of the
requirements of Forest Specification 5100-307. It is a
non-corrosive, non-toxic biodegradable Class A fire fighting foam concentrate.
Class B Foam Concentrate
Chemguard C363 is a Class B, alcohol resistant, aqueous film
forming foam concentrate that is designed to be used on regular hydrocarbons
(gasoline) at 3% and polar solvents (such as alcohol) at a 6% application rate.
It is the "industry standard" foam concentrate. U.L. Listed and
FM approved, it is suitable for use with equipment made of carbon steel,
fiberglass, polyethylene and stainless steel. It is also suitable for use
with dry chemical extinguishing agents.
When properly proportioned the user can expect an expansion ratio of 6-10:1
through typical equipment. When used with non-aspirating equipment
expansion ratios of 2-4:1 can be expected.
Akron 3095 Foam Eductor
This is an inline, 95 gallon per minute foam eductor. It is capable of
educting at foam concentrate at rates from 0 to 6% with handy detents at 1/4,
1/2, 1, 3, and 6%. It comes with a 30" long pickup tube.
Protek 203 Foam Eductor
This is an inline foam eductor which is calibrated to work
equally well with Class A and Class B concentrates. It can mix the
concentrate with water from 0 to 6% solution. The pickup tube is a full 72
inches long!
FoamPro 1600
Leading off the FoamPro
line, the 1600 series is available in two models, differing only in capacity.
Each system includes a Hypro twin plunger pump and DC (12 or 24 volt) motor
assembly. Also included is a panel-mounted operator control unit
with instructions, flowmeter (1-1/2” or 2”), strainer, foam injection check
valve, complete shielded cable set and RFI/EMI suppression kit.
The system features fully automatic foam proportioning,
regardless of changes in flow or pressure, and delivers unmatched accuracy
over the entire flow range. It proportions continuously, with no stopping to
refill the foam tanks.

FoamPro 2000
The 2000 series is available in two models, differing only in capacity. Each
system includes a Hypro triplex plunger pump and DC (12 or 24 volt) motor
assembly. Also included are a microprocessor control/display unit, instruction
placard, strainer, foam injection check valve, complete shielded cable set and
RFI/EMI suppression kit. The system provides fully automatic foam proportioning,
regardless of changes in flow or pressure, and offers convenient, push-button
operation, making it the easiest system to use. LED digital readouts provide
real time performance information. The optional advanced feature controller
offers “auto-on” programming which automatically arms the proportioner when the
fire pump is engaged.

FoamPro 3012
Extreme Class A and Class B firefighting power is at your fingertips with the
FoamPro 3012 proportioner. This versatile system delivers unmatched,
supercharged performance with concentrate flow from 0.1 to 12.0 gpm at 0-400
psi, all from a single pump. High-drafting capabilities allow off-board pickup
for foam operations or tank refill, which is crucial for high flow situations or
when changing concentrates. Unlike other pump designs that may pause in flow
during operation, the pump’s triplex plungers are timed to discharge one after
the other, delivering smooth, continuous injection. New, hydraulic pump-drive
technology produces immediate response from minimum flow to full capacity. The
system includes the same industry-proven, ultra-bright LED digital display used
on other FoamPro 2000 and 3000 series proportioners.

Scotty Foam Applicator - 8 GPM
The
4075-8 is designed for attachment to a 3/4” forestry hose. For use in situations
where there are water limitations. The 8 gallon (36Lts) flow rate permits an
economic use of water without sacrificing fire fighting effectiveness. An ideal
tool in grassland fire situations. Will treat up to 130 gallons of water
at a rate of 1%.
Scotty Foam Applicator - 50 GPM
The Scotty Five Litre Foam Kit, 4075-50, is designed for attachment to a fire
hose. The unit provides a fast and simple solution to a fire scene where a
requirement exists to combat fire with Class A foam. The body of the unit is
molded from glass reinforced nylon for strength and durability. It is also
resistant to corrosion caused by seawater and foam concentrates, electrolysis
and UV radiation. Will treat up to 130 gallons of water at a rate of 1%.
Scotty Around-The-Pump System
The 4171 Foam Eductor/Mixer is a simple “Around-the-Pump” unit to educt foam
concentrate into the entire plumbing system of a small pump setup. It is Mounted between the discharge and suction
side of a pump. For use on portable forestry pumps or fitted permanently to
skid units, the 4171 is a simple and effective way for fire departments to add a
foam capability to their equipment.
The unit is adjustable, permitting various foam percentages (0 to 3.75%) at
flows from 15 GPM to 125 GPM at 100 PSI. A 4171 includes the eductor, pressure hose
and pick-up hose.
C & S Foam Nozzle
This
nozzle uses 12" Phos-Chek Class A foam sticks in a mixing chamber between the
tip and the shutoff, eliminating the need for an eductor or proportioner.
A single stick can produce approximately 400 gallons of foam solution. The
nozzle comes with two foam sticks.
Available in 1" NH and 1-1/2" NH, this nozzle can be used in any situation
where you need to apply Class A foam and is much easier to clean and flush after
use than most other systems.
Additional sticks come in packages of three.
CSOSB-FGP12-1NST 1" Model with pistol grip shutoff
and tip
CSOSB-FGP12-15NST 1-2/" Model with pistol grip shutoff and tip
