Like any other mechanical devices, spray foam insulation machines and the other components require periodic maintenance to run properly. During your training session you will learn about the intervals in which to check your system and perform these duties. Some of the system components you will be familiar with and require basic care.

Foam sprayer machines handle chemical compounds that need to be recirculated if the time between usage is greater than a few days. For longer intervals of time between use, you will need to flush the lines and clear the spray gun. Your trainer will walk you through these processes to ensure optimal performance.

Yes. You will need to wear protective eyewear, full-face respirators, full-coverage clothing and ventilate the area being sprayed. In a closed environment this gear is an absolute necessity. If the ventilation of the area being sprayed is inadequate a fresh air system or supply may be needed.

The difference between closed and open cell foam comes down to their physical properties and cell structure. Each type has an application in which it performs best, and both share good insulation R-Value, structure sealing and sound dampening qualities.

Open cell is lighter in weight, lower in density, less rigid and has a higher expansion rate. Most open cell applications are for dry areas that are not exposed to extreme moisture or water.

In comparison, closed cell is heavier in weight, more dense, rigid, adds structural integrity, has lower expansion rate, and is waterproof. Closed cell foam is ideal for areas that may be exposed to extreme moisture or direct exposure to water.

Proper maintenance is essential to keeping your spray foam equipment running smoothly. Watch our step-by-step video guide on how to shut down your rig properly and maintain your equipment to ensure longevity and optimal performance. Click the link below to learn more.

Your spray foam machine may be capable of spraying different types of foam and polyurea. Certain types of foam and polyurea require high pressure systems and will not mix, spray or perform properly with a low pressure system. Always consult with your sales agent and manufacturer technical data sheet for your specific system to be sure.

The average yield of closed cell spray foam ranges from 4,300 – 4,500 sqft at 1″ of depth. Open cell foam coverage ranges from 17,000 – 20,000 sqft at 1″ of depth. Actual yield results will vary and depend on how evenly the foam is applied and environmental conditions at the time it was sprayed.

You will need to estimate the volume of spray foam needed to complete your project. Measure the overall wall dimensions that will be sprayed, LENGTH x HEIGHT, then subtract the area of the door and window openings. To calculate the volume of foam needed for 2″ x 4″ walls multiply by 3.5, for 2″ x 6″ walls multiply by 5.5. To determine the number of foam sets needed to complete your project divide the VOLUME total by the average YIELD value for the foam you will be spraying. This calculation will result in the number of sets needed. Remember to round up to the next WHOLE NUMBER because drum sets are whole units and can’t be broken in to smaller sizes.
