Overview
The LC Conveyor-Mate™ is a portable foaming system designed specifically for Clean-In-Place foaming on to conveyor belts up to 48" wide. This venturi dilution system uses city water pressure (35 - 125 PSI) to accurately draw and blend chemical concentrate into the water stream. Compressed air is added to create rich clinging foam. The fully adjustable foam arm extends vertically and horizontally to virtually any position. The unique stainless steel Spreader Nozzle™ creates a wide foam pattern that can be adjusted and rotated to ensure optimal coverage at any angle.
Safety & Operational Precautions
To Install (refer to diagram on next page)
Set the chemical dilution ratio by threading one of the color coded metering tips into each chemical check valve. See chemical labels for dilution ratio recommendation or consult your chemical supplier.
To Operate
NOTE: 2-arm units have 2 foamer bodies/arms/nozzles with independent activation ball valves. Installation and operation for 1 and 2-arm models is fundamentally the same.

Startup | Maintenance | |
A) Foam surges and/or hose "bucks". B) Foamer will not draw chemical. C) Foam too wet. D) Foam does not clean properly (too dry). E) Using too much chemical. F) Water/chemical backing up into air line. G) Water backing up into chemical container. H) Air or chemical solution backing up into water line. | 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 1, 4, 6, 11 5 |

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE: When the unit will be out of service for extended periods, place chemical tube(s) in water and flush the chemical out of the unit to help prevent chemical from drying out and causing build-up. Periodically check and clean chemical strainer and replace if missing. |
