Building a New Rig
We're building another Spray foam rig and want to attempt to make some of the equipment mobile:*Has anyone used hydraulic quick connects with any success on the heated hoses? *The motors on the Graco machines don't utilize 3 phase. Is there really a benefit to wiring it up that way vs. 240v single phase where it could be used in high rise condo units more easily. *Diamond plate looks pretty, but I haven't seen the inside of a working right with one. Moving materials around seem like it would be a dream on diamond plate. Any thoughts would be welcome. Thanks for any input. Happy foaming |

I have seen some really bad diamond plate jobs, and I can share some pics with you. Its terrible after a couple years. High pressure quick connections for fluid? I would not recommend that to much liability for injury - hope that was what you were asking. |

One problem you will encounter with high pressure quick disconnects is the ISO side will not work well over time. Keep a few spares on hand if your intent is to use them often and regard them as a wear item. For mobile applications like you mention single phase is what you want. 3 phase will eventually cause you hassles trying to power it. Many new machines allow you to switch between 1 ph and 3 ph in 5 min, so it is no issue with that type machine. Diamond plate is for sissies. Paint your floor battleship gray and wipe up all spills immediately. |

..we have run black diamond plate on our rigs floors for years. we have wore the diamonds off in the high drum travel areas over the years..smooth plate,,lol i would only use diamond plate on my rigs floors..unless you want to replace the plywood deck at about 5yrs or so. none on the walls..you want a pretty rig,,go to sprayfoammagazine.com and read the article...perty...and you cry the first time your gopher has a fluid spill... 3ph gensets powerin 3ph proportioner, air, heaters,,,, i use camlock couplers,,disposable item on the iso for sure...but hook up or pump over in minutes...time is indeed money in this game.. so what did you end up doing? |

We went with plasma cut diamond plate on the floor and 80mil of polyurea on the walls/ceiling. Just stuck with plain 'ole 3ph and convert back to 1ph for high rise work. If SprayFoamMagazine.com ever allows attachments, I'd gladly post some pictures....It turned out pretty sharp. |
