Mobile Foam Generator

Product catalog summary

General Description
The SKUM SK140 is a robust mobile foam generator designed for single-person operation. It is capable of delivering various types of foam concentrates suitable for different risks, particularly effective when used with medium expansion foam solutions for vapor suppression.

Application Description
This unit is ideal for high-risk areas such as oil storage and loading terminals, paint and solvent stores, boiler rooms, ships’ engine rooms, helipads, and oil rigs.

Alternative Fittings
The SK140 can be equipped with any low or medium expansion foam branchpipe and a variable rate foam inductor. Water spray branches are also available for use with film-forming foam concentrates. Custom international hose couplings can be provided. The marine version includes gunmetal inductors and a stainless steel branchpipe and chassis.

Performance
The performance depends on the inlet pressure and the selected foam branchpipe. Refer to the technical table for detailed performance data.

Medium Expansion Foam Branchpipes
These branchpipes produce large quantities of foam with minimal water usage and are compatible with high expansion fluoroproteins, multi-purpose FFFP, and ARC concentrates. They are constructed from stainless steel and polyurethane for durability and feature lightweight nozzles and couplings with strainers to prevent blockages.

Low Expansion Foam Branchpipes
The MLR-40A is a portable, lightweight stainless steel branchpipe designed for optimal foaming and jet range using all foam concentrate types. It shares the same durable construction as the medium expansion branchpipes.
