Foam Injection Systems
Sacksafoam is a foam injection system that uses a pump to dispense a controlled amount of foam
concentrate from a reservoir into the water in the bucket. The operation of the Sacksafoam is controlled
by the pilot through a control unit, which is mounted in the cockpit. There are two models of Sacksafoam
available depending on the location of the foam concentrate reservoir.
Sacksafoam Bladder
The Sackafoam Bladder uses a collapsible reservoir located in
the bucket. An internal check valve stops water from flowing
into the bladder and insures that foam is dispensed only while
the injection pump is operating. Because the foam in the
bladder displaces the water in the bucket, the total gross
weight is always constant.
The Sacksafoam bladder interfaces with the Sacksafoam
controller. Dispensing can be controlled directly from the
controller screen or a remote switch.
Foam Compatibility
The Bambi Bucket is designed to be effective with foam. All materials used in the manufacture of the
Bambi Bucket are resistant to the chemical action of foam.
After using foam or retardant in the bucket, it should be washed with fresh water to remove all residue.
Foam and retardant can accelerate corrosion and degradation of materials if not removed.
