The success of spray foam applications hinges on the proper functioning of SPF equipment–you literally can’t install spray foam without it. And when a system is running smoothly, there are numerous parameters in which the equipment must be operated–all under the responsibility of the application crew. Spray Foam Equipment: Proportioners, the first feature from the equipment series of the Spray Foam Insulation and Roofing Magazine eBook Collection, highlights the multifaceted nature of the heart of every SPF equipment system, the proportioner. Sometimes referred to as spray foam machines, proportioners do much of the legwork in processing SPF chemicals: pumping, heating, and maintaining proper pressure. As you’ll see, there is much that goes into these machines being able to sustain that all-important 1:1 A-B ratio.
