FEATURES
- Suitable for all foam systems and applications-wildland, structural, and industrial
- Boasts tremendous knockdown capabilities, and can lay down a long-lasting protective blanket
- Delivers 30% increase in range, for safer firefighter positioning
- Hose is 50% lighter, helping to reduce firefighter fatigue
- Variable foam expansion rates allow for broad-spectrum application with dry foam (30:1) for exposure protection, and wet foam (4:1) for fire attack
- Uniform, small foam-bubble structure at varying expansion rates delivers longer drain time, better cooling, and improved vapor suppression
- Less foam-stream fallout ensures more accurate application of foam, resulting in less waste
- Compatible with Class A or B foam systems
- Increased pump pressure is not required for elevated fires in high-rise structures, or for wildland terrain, which helps provide safer overall operation of the apparatus
- System horsepower is perfectly matched to output requirements
- The application rate for specially formulated Class B CAFS is at least 33% less than naturally aspirated Class B foams, which means more cost-effective fire suppression. In addition, less foam means less runoff, which makes Hercules Class B CAFS more environmentally friendly
- Since Compressed air foam is essentially a finished product inside the hose, it needs only to be discharged from the end of the hose
BENEFITS
- Rapid cooling effect
- Longer lasting than conventional foams
- Better foam adhesion than conventional foam
- Resists heat longer than conventional foam
- Proven rotary-type screw compressor has track record as the quietest and most efficient for mobile applications. The inlet valve is specifically designed to prevent clogging from dirt.
- Compressors range from 70-200 cfm
- The automatic pressure balance system has fewer hoses to install and maintain than competitive models
- Our check-valve system is the only bronze water-check valve approved for use in an Akron discharge valve, eliminating corrosion from foam
- Automatic pressure regulation, fixed pressure regulation, PTO engagement switch, and PTO-engaged indicator light are all located at the pump panel to allow the operator to easily activate the compressor and adjust foam ratios
