Any advice on pour overs in the field
Anybody want to share their brilliant system for pouring over 55 gallon drums of foam in the field. We currently use the 5 gallon buck, filter screen, funnel method. This takes two guys, makes a mess, and risks major spills in a customer's parking lot. Who's got a better system? |

When you get to the bottome of the drums, recirculate the remaining bit into a new set. It takes a minute or two, but you only handle the drums once. What type of proportioner do you have? Do you have recirc lines? Make sure you turn the B preheater down. George |

What the heck, add me to the curiosity list too then. I did see a drum dolly that has the ability to be laid down and hold a 5gal bucket for draining but that is an expansive and bulky option for field use. Quentin@foamdogs.com |

Im not sure what a pour over is im guessing you mean transfering the remaining material from one drum to another. If this is correct i have a very simple and clean way to do this. Go to home depot and buy a 1 1/2 inch bung and 6" pipe to thread into the bung now tighten them together in the vise this is an important step. Now thread the setup into you low material drum and tilt the bung next to the open hole on the drum you wish to pour it into line the 6" pipe up to the drum and with the help of another person lift insert and turn till the drum is on top and balanced walk away and in 2 or so mins its empty. Just lift it off remove bung and your done with no mess. As long as there is enuff room in the drum for material :^) PS: this is faster then re sercing and does not run the risk of punping air into your lines. I hope this helps. |

impaidby's technique is very reliable and quick. You just want to make sure the A side doesn't have any crystals in the bottom of the drum. |

rubberband a knee-hi pantyhose on the end to catch any chunks and lube the threads on your pour device. |

impaidbyu has it right. Pour them over as soon as they're empty. We tilt the drums and put a block of wood under them to get as much as possible out before switching drums. Usually only about a gallon left. Not to heavy either, a drum is only 50lbs. |

...all the while reducing our exposure to the raw materials which pose the most hazard to the applicator and foam mechanic... and each gallon of fluid adds about 10lbs,, hoist away orthopedic referrals given free of charge,,lol |
