Chem injection question
« on: August 01, 2013, 05:06:18 pm »
Right, so after the other post where Lee kenny introduced me to his home made (sort of) foamer which works regardless of how long the hose is, Do you think its possible to do the same thing in theory, but use a variable pressure nozzle instead of the foamer nozzle? So you can apply chemical without foaming it?

For example, Lee's thing he use is basically a foam nozzle with the venturi attached, he puts it on the end of his lance like a normal nozzle and pops the feed hose in a bucket of chems and gets foam.. Could i screw a normal vario nozzle onto a venturi, put it on the end of my lance, put the chem feed hose on the venturi into a drum of chem and get chemical coming out just without foaming?

Im just thinking of ideas due to the fact that i always have about 80m of hose on my reel at any time. And the fact that the venturis dont work well with such long hose, and sometimes i will want to apply chems without them foaming.

Lee, With your set up you described with the bottle taken off and a long feed hose put on, can you adjust how much chemical gets sucked up and pushed through the foam nozzle?

That would work - just like a wet blast fitting on the gun

Cheers mate, thats what i thought, i just wanted to find out if i could use the chem venturi (adjustable) right at the nozzle to alter the amount of chems.
