TRAINING:
O.F.B Corporation is the distributor of a cost effective, 'training foam' agent that facilitates realistic, in-expensive training with every CAFS unit. This product requires no propellants, simply fill the CAFS unit with water and the 'training' agent and begin your training program.
DISTANCE:Shoots up to 35 metres; each system is supplied with 15 metres of hose.
FILLING TIMES
MAIN TANK: The 1000 litre CAFS takes approximately 20 minutes to fill the main tanks using a standard garden hose. Utilising a fire hydrant fitting greatly reduces this time.
AIR CYLINDERS: The filling pressure for the air cylinders is 200 bar cold, 205 bar hot. The time it takes to fill each cylinder depends on the compressor used is approximately 8 minutes.
GENERAL INFORMATION:The 1000 litre CAFS run at a variable pressure (through a regulator) of 0 to 200 psi, off four air cylinders per main holding tank. This machine has the capacity to give you up to 30,000 litres of foaming compound and can only operate in a horizontal position. The pressure relief valve is situated on the side of the main tank and is set at 300 psi, so the system cannot be over charged. You can isolate each tank, letting only one off at a time or you both of them as you require.
All of OFB CAFS meet the A.S.M.E. requirements and the Australian standards.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS: The following options can be supplied by OFB:
a. Various foaming nozzles for greater foam expansion rates and spray patterns.
b. Fire hydrant fittings to reduce filling times.
c. Funnels to reduce chemical spillage during filling.
d. Automatic discharge systems.(i.e. sprinkler installations)
