I was thinking of adding/replacing  a compressor to my spotting machine the idea is to have a small hand held extractor that could as well as spray it could also have the ability to generate  foam perhaps John Martin could add his thoughts?

Has Nick's foam generator not come out yet Shaun?

I don't tbh I think it's been on the go for some years so it'll be a see it when it happens, it would be nice to see it in the flesh.

Woodbridge used to have one for the Ice machines - found the same/similar foam gen on some Chinese sites that you can buy for half the cost but you have to then trust it turning up!

Hi , theres this thing ... perhaps someone here has owned one

i really wouldnt know where to start converting your spotter ... without looking into it all and experimenting
Perhaps Alltec would be up for the challenge ? might be difficult in a small space .

Couple of years ago i picked up a chinese tornado foam gun ...  and there happened to be a briefcase size mini compressor in lidl for me to try .   Worked good . but the compressor made a hourendous grating noise when running , put me off using it .
so i pretty much did little foam wise since . 
Lately iv picked some evans dri-foam , cleaned a couch with a sponge and mit couple of times .did a rug with the rotary and foam and a hotel lobby  , i def intend to do more  shampooing or foaming or encaping or whatever when suitable .
What do intend to use it for yourself ? do people generally  use foam much ?

I like the idea of aired foam cleaning and then hwe the more soiled areas if a small extractor could be fitted then  I could change the solution to hwe with it there are a few different ways of manufacture the Von schraders method which is vacuum motor in reverse or compressor both adding air.
