The Foam Attachment Speeds Up Cleanup
Cool Machines innovated a foam chute that is designed to pick up foam shavings of all sizes. Much like at barber shop, where the barber sweeps hair trimmings into a vacuum chute, the foam attachment does the same thing. The chute is wide and handles sheets of foam. Simply sweep the shavings and trimmings into the chute. Cool Machine vacuums can pulverize open and closed cell foam. The foam is greatly reduced in size. This saves on the number of bags and efforts for disposing of the foam
Use 6” Hose to Cleanup
Many contractors use 6” hose to clean up their trimmings. When you have smaller debris, a 6” hose works well. You can move from room to room.
“If you saw how much of that debris goes into one bag when it gets condensed into that versus being out in a plastic bag, it’s mind boggling. It’s one of the best investments. Then we could move into extractions. We are sticking with 6 inch hose. We cut our clean-up time over half. It was incredible. I’m not taking 4” anywhere else anymore. We’re going to get it done, move on, and go.” Robbie Carnes, Krieger Thermodynamics, Mustang, Oklahoma
Use 8” Hose and Rafter Tube Like a Chute
Another option is to use 8” hose with the rafter tube. If you have an 8” input, you can use the 8” hose. Bring the hose to the room where the shavings and trimmings are collected. Secure the rafter tube to a wall partition. Then sweep the debris into the 8” opening.
“It has cut our clean-up time in half.” Levi Beasey, Upstate Foam and Coatings, Anderson, SC
Use a Vacuum to Extract Old Insulation
The most obvious benefit for the spray foamer is that the vacuum is designed to remove loose fill and batt insulation from attics.
