Foamstream system is helping street and public open spaces cleansing in Cornwall with two Foamstream M1200 systems now being operated in the county .
Foamstream is known to be the most cost-effective and versatile herbicidefree solution for controlling unwanted vegetation and carrying out sanitisation tasks in large green and urban spaces . Its patented low-pressure process combines hot water and biodegradable foam made from natural plant oils and sugars . The active ingredient is the heat from the hot water which the foam insulates to ensure it is maintained and kills or severely damages the unwanted vegetation including weeds , moss and algae .
While primarily founded on weed control , Foamstream is also designed for power washing , general sanitisation and chewing gum removal . It is certified organic by the British Soil Association and approved for killing bacteria . As such , it is highly effective for sanitising surfaces and urban cleaning . Optional lances are used in the process , and the eco-friendly system is safe for use around people , animals and delicate environments .
Use of the Foamstream M1200 system ensures minimum environmental impact on Cornwall ’ s street and public open space weed control and cleansing . The M1200 combines high performance with low-cost operation and fast treatment speed . Mounted on a pickup , flatbed truck or trailer , it comes with a large water capacity and delivers a high flow rate , making it particularly well suited to treating large open areas in urban and rural environments .
