SPRAYERS & SPRAYING
“Since using Foamstream my health
is better. The benefits are for me, for
the environment, for everyone.” Says
Jason Tomlin, Foamstream operator
at idverde. “I’ve never been told I can’t
use it – I’ve always been allowed to
use it wherever I want because of
what it does and its non-chemical
environmentally friendly credentials.”
There’s no on-going operator
certification, training or protective
clothing required, which represents
a saving against other methods.
Chemical treatments are toxins and
as such drive up health and safety
requirements and the associated
costs. What then are the costs
associated with Foamstream?
“There is the initial outlay, as
with any system,” says Thomas
Hamilton, Foamstream/Weedingtech
Commercial Director. “There is the
capital cost of machinery to be taken
into account. Most operators adopt a
phased, integrated approach to their
weed management programmes and
as an outline Foamstream can be
introduced for as little as £395.00 a
month. The strategy over time is to be
rid of glyphosate with a cost-effective
alternative and Foamstream fits the
brief perfectly.”
Foamstream also has a multi-function
use – it can be used across all
departments as a cleaning solution
for gum removal, power washing
and sanitisation. Depending on the
type of paint and surface it can even
be used for removing graffiti. The
company has just introduced a new
entry-level system, the Foamstream
L12, with additional functionality
for street cleaning, with a wateronly
rinse mode and high-pressure
features.
