High Expansion Foam Generators > 18"

The Super Vac High Expansion Foam Generators Models: HXG-18 and HXG-16 are advanced firefighting tools designed to produce high-expansion foam for effective fire suppression. These generators are capable of producing foam with an expansion rate of up to 1000:1, making them ideal for tackling tough extinguishments, including oil and mining operations, ship-hold areas, and scenes with flammable liquids 

Features

• High Expansion Rate: Capable of producing foam with an expansion rate of up to 1000:1, providing extensive coverage and effective fire suppression.
• Versatile Compatibility: Easily attaches to any Super Vac PPV (from 16″-30″) or Super Vac Smoke Ejector (from 16″-24″).
• Durable Construction: Features a black metal shroud and Apex Mills TP21 foam expansion netting for durability and reliability.
• Efficient Foam Production: Includes a 30 GPM in-line educator and a 1″ Bypass Educator for efficient foam production.
• Compact and Portable: Designed for easy transport and storage, making it convenient for various firefighting scenarios.

How is it Used?

The Super Vac High Expansion Foam Generators are used to produce high-expansion foam for fire suppression. They are typically deployed in situations where traditional firefighting methods may not be effective, such as in confined spaces, areas with flammable liquids, and large industrial settings. The foam generated by these units can quickly fill large spaces, smothering fires and preventing re-ignition.

Who Uses It?

These foam generators are used by firefighters, emergency responders, and industrial safety personnel who require an effective and reliable method for fire suppression. They are particularly useful in industries such as oil and gas, mining, maritime, and chemical manufacturing, where the risk of large-scale fires is significant.

Maintenance Information

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of the Super Vac High Expansion Foam Generators. Users should follow the manufacturer's maintenance guidelines, which include inspecting the foam expansion netting, checking the in-line educator and bypass educator for blockages, and ensuring that all connections are secure. Additionally, the units should be cleaned and stored in a dry, protected environment when not in use.

What is it Used With?

The Super Vac High Expansion Foam Generators are used with high-expansion foam solutions, which are sold separately. They can be paired with various Super Vac PPV fans and smoke ejectors to enhance their foam production capabilities. The foam generators are compatible with the following Super Vac equipment:

• Super Vac PPV Fans (from 16″-30″)
• Super Vac Smoke Ejectors (from 16″-24″)

Real-Life Examples

• Oil and Gas Industry: Used to suppress fires in oil refineries and storage facilities, where traditional firefighting methods may not be effective.
• Mining Operations: Deployed in underground mining operations to control fires and prevent the spread of flammable gases.
• Maritime Applications: Utilized on ships to extinguish fires in cargo holds and engine rooms, where confined spaces make firefighting challenging.
• Chemical Manufacturing: Used to control fires involving flammable liquids and hazardous materials in chemical plants.

Material Used

• The Super Vac High Expansion Foam Generators are constructed with high-quality materials to ensure durability and reliability. The units feature a black metal shroud for protection and Apex Mills TP21 foam expansion netting for efficient foam production
