System and method for the delivery of a sanitizing foam

A system to produce reproducible foam from a animal dip solution comprising:

• a vessel containing reagents including the dip solution and at least one propellant gas, wherein said at least one propellant gas infuses the dip solution, wherein the dip solution is an aqueous solution including a sanitizing agent and a skin conditioner, and wherein the at least the one propellant gass includes at least one of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide;
• a spray valve;
• a first conduit connecting the vessel to the spray valve;
• a recirculating conduit connecting the spray valve to the vessel;
• and
• a pump that can circulate the gas infused dip solution from the vessel through the first conduit to the spray valve and through the second conduit to the vessel.

A system for producing reproducible foam from an animal dip solution comprising:

• a pressure vessel that contains the animal dip solution and propellant gasses including carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, wherein said propellant gasses are infused in said animal dip solution, and wherein said animal dip solution includes a sanitizing agent and a skin conditioner;
• a charging station connected to said pressure vessel;
• a transportable dispenser including a dispensing nozzle that can dispense said animal dip solution as a liquid, with said liquid becoming a foam on an animal;
• and
• a connector for selectably connecting and disconnecting said dispenser from said charging station so that when said dispenser is connected to said charging station said dispenser can be charged with the propellant gasses infused animal dip solution.

A hand held device for dispensing a sanitizing solution that forms into a foam upon contact with a animal comprising:

• a dispensing can with a nozzle;
• wherein said can contains an aqueous animal dip solution including a sanitizing agent and a skin conditioner;
• and
• a diffusible gas, wherein said diffusible gas is partially dissolved in the aqueous solution within the dispensing can and wherein said diffusible gas solvates said skin conditioner, and wherein said diffusible gas is a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.

An apparatus to dispense a liquid in order to form a foam at a target comprising:

• (a) a vessel containing a mixture including:
• an aqueous solution including:
• a sanitizing agent;
• and
• a foaming agent;
• (b) a first valve that introduces a propellant gas into the vessel, wherein the propellant gas is at least partially dissolve in the aqueous solution, wherein the propellant gas includes a water soluble component and a component that solvates the foaming agent;
• and
• c) at least one nozzle with a second valve and a conduit that connects the vessel to the nozzle, wherein the aqueous solution with the dissolved propellant gas exits the nozzle when the valve is opened substantially as an aqueous solution with the propellant gas dissolved in the aqueous solution.
