Abstract
A foam generating and distributing manifold device for generating and transporting foam cleansing and sanitizing agents having a manifold chamber with a centrally disposing frothing tube to generate foam which migrates upwardly within the chamber to a plurality of annularly disposed egress ports through which foam is distributed to a series of substantially equidistant supply conduits thereafter migrating to a distribution manifold which distributes the foam evenly upon, for example, conveyor belts used in food processing or the like.
Claims14
A foam generating and distribution apparatus, comprising:
- a foam generating chamber defined by top, bottom and side walls,
- ingress means provided in said top wall of said chamber to receive therethrough pressurized gas and a liquid,
- a frothing conduit surrounding said ingress means and extending downwardly therefrom into said chamber to conduct and mix said gas and said liquid to generate foam,
- egress ports in fluid communication with said chamber annularly disposed through said side walls substantially above the lower termination point of said frothing conduit, and
- supply conduits in fluid communication with said egress ports having on an opposed end distribution ports to distribute said foam.
A foam generating a distributing apparatus, comprising:
- a foam generating chamber defined by top, bottom and side walls,
- ingress means provided in said top wall of said chamber to receive therethrough pressurized gas and a liquid,
- a frothing conduit surrounding said ingress means and extending downwardly therefrom into said chamber past the longitudinal midpoint of said chamber to conduct and mix said gas and said liquid to generate foam,
- a plurality of egress ports in fluid communication with said chamber annularly disposed through said side walls substantially above the longitudinal midpoint of said frothing conduit, and
- a plurality of substantially equal length supply conduits in fluid communication with said egress ports, said conduits having on opposed ends thereof distribution ports to distribute said foam.
