Thread: Turning a Portable into a chem feeding TM

I really donot like using auto feed on a portable because I'm a powder guy. However, I think I could use the autofeed if I mix my solution to that of truckmount ratio. and clean that way. If you notice there is always different dilution for poerables. Well when auto feeding water is fed instantanious so drawing chem like truckmount feed would basically be the same principal. Without the added extreme heat. I have always bucket fed my porties. Coming up with some type of fabricated system is something to concider in this industry.

If you do try this we would like hearing how it worked out.

I have seen a kit on one of the web sites had it hooked up to Mytee...

Hey Ara, any progress in this?

For years I have used a hydroforce sprayer as a metering for acid rinse. Works fine for me.

Ara all you need is a float valve assembly, chemical meter valve, and alot of misc parts and hoses to combine them up. I used an oplympus fx88 to make a porty into continuous flow. simple on/off float switch to drain. but It had its own issues. the chemical jug kept falling off if bumped, over flow because the pump could not drain fast enough, debris getting into waste tank pump ruining it more than a dozen times.

So if you plan on a 400 psi with a in-line sprayer on a high pressure line, it wont happen.

I use a dema valve setup or hydrorce revolution sprayer; set to your preference
