• Many others

For example, ChemStation Southeast has DBS foamers and sprayers in operation at Dolly Madison and Tom's Foods in Columbus, Georgia.

Sprayers' Mixing Action Proves Beneficial

"ChemStation Southeast makes a strong, heavy-duty cleaner with a Gel additive that, with the DBS sprayer, removes the high build-up, thick oils, fats, and greases that accumulate on cookers and fryers," says Evan Jenkins, president of ChemStation Southeast. He explains that the cleaner is manufactured in a dry form and requires mixing with water. For that reason, he chose a DBS Sprayer with a built-in agitator for mixing.

"The cleaner is mixed with water and agitated for approximately five minutes, until a Gel consistency is formed," Jenkins says. "The cleaner is then sprayed on the surfaces to be cleaned. Because of the Gel's consistency, the cleaner adheres very well to the surfaces, providing a long contact time and allowing the chemicals to break down the grime.

"To my knowledge, DBS is the only manufacturer that offers this feature," he adds. "This convenience makes the mixing and pouring of the chemicals easier and more economical."

Facilities Appreciate the Economy and Control of DBS Foamers

Many suppliers say that DBS foamers are a superb choice for facilities that lack a foam centralized system or have water problems, which is the case in many older processing plants. They like the DBS foamers because they are portable, economical, and provide greater control over chemical usage than any other system available.

DBS foamers produce thick, clinging, chemical foams. The foams are easy to apply, and provide long chemical retention time on vertical and horizontal surfaces. The foams remove unwanted deposits without splashing back chemicals or forcing dirt or fluids into seals or other equipment parts. The foam is also easy to see, ensuring that all areas that need cleaning will be covered without wasteful excess chemical application.

The foamer system uses plant-supplied dry compressed air, which expels the foam solution from the reservoir, aerates the solution to form foam, and propels the foam through the hose and nozzle, onto the surface being cleaned. Available in 15 and 45-gallon capacity, DBS foamers include the following standard features:

• Air and fluid controls
  
• Pressure gauge
  
• Air pressure regulator
  
• Drain valve
  
• ASME safety relief valve @ 125 PSI
  
• EPR seals
  
• Food grade PVC clear hose
  
• Air release valve

Other options include brass or stainless steel air and fluid control valves and fittings, variations in hose length or diameter, vinyl ester tank lining, and Vi t o a or Buna-N seals.
