Choosing the right spray foam equipment takes more home work than you might think.
When you purchase a spray foam machine or that new spray foam rig, remember that when you use that equipment you are manufacturing the products on-site thus becoming the manufacture. Understanding how a spray foam machine works and how the processing of chemicals works can greatly impact your decision when making that purchase.
Let’s look at manufacturing a 2lb closed cell spray foam for example. The first thing is to understand that from the drums through the spray foam machine and on out to the spray gun temperatures plays a major factor in the process including the density’s manufactured and expected yields of the products you are purchasing.
Manufactures product data sheets have all of the testing posted that gives you drum temperatures, Viscosity’s Density’s, R-Value’s, Spray foam machine settings, storage and so on. This testing is all based on processing the products in a controlled environment.
