Foam Generators |
| Lightweight foam concrete is normally made from mixing a
stable foam to slurry of cement, sand & water. This action
incorporates small-enclosed air bubbles within the mortar
thereby making it lighter and possessing special properties
such as low thermal conductivity and high fire resistance.
Its density ranges from as low as 500kg/m3 to as high as 1600kg/m3
therefore allowing it to be used in a variety of applications
such as pre - cast wall blocks and panels, floor & roof screeds,
trench reinstatement, road foundations and void filling.
The Portafoam foam generator is a machine that produces
stable foam from a mixture of chemical foaming agent, water, and air.

| The Portafoam PM2 system is most versatile since it can mix
from 0.1 m3 up to 3 cubic meters of foamed concrete at one time |
| |
| This foam generator, which runs from an air compressor,
consists of components such as the MSD unit, foaming unit,
and a lance unit. Unlike pressure tank systems, Portafoam
runs on a principle of providing continuous and constant
foam with minimum refill. They are also more accurate and
easier to run compared to fully air operated systems.
These components allow great flexibility to the user in
terms of the scale of production of foam concrete since
it can accommodate to future production requirements. |
| Portafoam is lightweight, transportable and may be used
on-site or adapted to existing concrete production plants.
Its size, output, and mobility are also well suited for small
to medium scale production and laboratory work on foam concrete. |
| Several control devices on Portafoam enable the adjustment
of foam properties and allow it to work with different
foaming agents (e.g. synthetic or protein). The Portafoam foaming
generator can be attached to several other devices such as an
auto-timer control, pressurized holding tanks and other
proportioning systems which makes foam concrete production more
efficient or gives greater flexibility to foam generation.

| The Portafoam PM-3 system has a large flow rate and is
fitted with digital timer for accurate dosage of foam |
| Portafoam comes in 3 different models, which is the TM-1, PM-2
and PM-3 which yields about 100 lit/min, 200 lit/min and 500 lit/min
foam respectively. Portafoam is expandable, adjustable, easy to use
and maintain and is one of the most competitively priced foam
generators in the building industry today. |
