1. INTRODUCTION
The Autofroth® SL equipment urethane foam dispensing unit is supplied as a manually operated air-
actuated unit or as automatic timer actuated unit. The Autofroth® equipment has a nominal flow rate
of 5-7 pounds per minute. Autofroth® SL equipment is a “pressure on demand” system and as such
the nitrogen is the “pump”. The unique design of this equipment eliminates the need for chemical
solvent flushing. Cleaning of the mixing chamber is accomplished by using a water/air purge. This is
accomplished by keeping the isocyanate “A” and resin “B” components separated within the gun body
and not allowing them to come together until they are within the mixing tube. The mixing tubes are of
all-plastic construction, inexpensive and disposable. All Autofroth® equipment units will be supplied
as heated units (unless converting from existing Autofroth® equipment which already has heated
hoses) to assist in obtaining consistent foam processing performance.
2. SAFETY AND HANDLING
IN THE CASE OF A CHEMICAL EMERGENCY, CALL THE BASF EMERGENCY

RESPONSE HOTLINE AT (800) 832-4357, FOR ASSISTANCE.
Autofroth® chemical/equipment systems consist of pressure tanks containing the chemical and a
manual plant air actuated or electrical timer equipped gun to mix and dispense them. Safety in the
use and maintenance of both the equipment and chemicals requires observance of all safety
procedures for handling the chemical components as well as consideration of the fact that they will be
in dynamic flow up to 235 psig (16.6 kg/cm2) pressure. Read this section carefully along with the
Safety Data Sheets for your particular foam system.
2.1. General Safe Practices
• Wear safety glasses, goggles and impermeable gloves when using or servicing any of the Autofroth®
equipment. First choice for glove material is Nitrile which provides the proper protection against
chemicals.
• Wear safety shoes when moving or handling heavy items such as tanks, cylinders, etc.
• Avoid contact with foam chemicals or foam, even while it is curing.
• Ventilate foaming stations. Vapor concentrations of isocyanate and other volatile materials must be
maintained below the current limits established by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, United State Department of Labor, and by state or local government agencies having
jurisdiction. See the current Material Safety Data Sheets for more information. If mechanical
ventilation is used, make certain it is working properly before making foam.
• Make certain that you have the proper safety equipment, and that you know where the nearest
eyewash/safety shower is located. Refer to the current Material Safety Data Sheets for further
information.
• Under normal working conditions, respirators will not be required. If you are foaming in a poorly
ventilated area, respiratory protection may be needed. Whenever a respirator is required, it should be
NIOSH/MSHA (government testing and certification agencies) approved and compliance with OSHA
5
regulations (see 29 CFR 1910.134) is required. Air-supplied respirators are generally recommended
for most applications when respiratory protection is required. Air-purifying respirators equipped with
organic vapor cartridges are generally NOT recommended for protection against any mixture
containing isocyanates.
• Do not allow open flames (welding, metal cutting, or pipe sweating) in areas where foaming is being
performed. Do not weld upon metal that covers cured foam. The foam can burn producing thick,
noxious smoke.
• Do not point assembled equipment at anyone. Always have equipment pointed away from you when
servicing.
• Always relieve the fluid pressure within the equipment before attempting any repair.
• Clean all parts with a suitable solvent and check to see that they are operational before replacing in
the unit.
• Review current Material Safety Data Sheets for each chemical component.
• Do not smoke, eat, or drink at or near Autofroth® foam stations.
2.2. Tanks, Chemical Containers
• The chemical storage vessels have been manufactured in accordance with the standards of the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), and the Department of Transportation (DOT).
They are designed to operate at a maximum working pressure of 250 psig (16.9 kg/cm2).
• Each port is fitted with both automatic self-sealing couplings and manual positive shut-off valves,
except the pressure relief valve (PRV), which by Code,
(ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel, Section 8, Division 1) must have direct, uninterrupted access to
the tank interior.
• Do not attach any members to the tank by welding, drilling, tapping, screwing or in any other way
affecting the tank surface or integrity.
• Report to your Autofroth® Representative any dents, scratches, rubs or other accidents that appear
to have removed metal from the shell thickness, especially in the welded areas.
• Do not remove any fittings or hardware from the tank.
• Do not alter any configuration of fittings or hardware.
• Do not apply heat to any container or tank by direct contact (band heaters,
etc.); use indirect heating methods when required.
• Do not heat tanks above the ambient temperature, without venting to 150 psig
(10.6 kg/cm2) before the heating process is started.
6
• Do not store tanks or chemical containers in direct sunlight. Store them in a well ventilated area
between 60-80° F.
• Do not pressurize any tank with any gas other than dry nitrogen.
2.3. Hoses
• Hoses have a Teflon interior and a stainless steel wire braid exterior and must be handled carefully.
When not pressurized, the Teflon tubing can kink and start a leak. This is less apt to happen at
operating pressure. Do not bend the hoses. A sharp bend (less than 9 inches or 23 cm. radius)
may damage the hose.
• Hoses should be inspected before each use and replaced when damage is evident.
• Hoses should not lie on plant floor because of the potential heat loss and potential damage from
equipment rolling over them. Constant scraping of the stainless steel braid on concrete will damage
the braid, and potentially damage the heat tape.
2.4. Ball Valves
• The ball valves used on the equipment have been selected to afford the best flow and the lowest
pressure drop. Special seals are incorporated to prevent the reactive materials from adversely
affecting their operation. Open ball valves SLOWLY. This minimizes the hydraulic shock to the valve
and other hardware within the pressurized system. The position of the handle indicates that the valve
is either open or closed. If the handle is in line with the valve, it is open; when across the valve, it is
closed.
• Handles should not be removed from the valves. If they must be removed from the valve stem, keep
them attached with a short length of cable or light chain for quick access in an emergency.
• When servicing ball valves, equipment should be bled down to relieve all pressure prior to
disassembling the valves. If there is a blockage release pressure on both sides of the blockage.
• Do not use ball valves to control the flow rate. Ball valves are designed to be used fully open or fully
closed. Flow rate is destroyed to be regulated only by the flow controller.
2.5. Filters
• The filters at the tank connections are “Y” type. Each has a removable filter screen. The screen can
be easily cleaned by washing in a solvent solution or replaced if necessary. Be careful to replace the
screens so that they are able to restrict any debris in the system. Make sure when screen is replace
that it fits tightly.
2.6. Safety Data Sheets
• Autofroth® foam systems are produced by combining two pre-blended chemical mixtures, the A-
side (Isocyanate) and the B-side (Resin). Each of these two components has its own Safety Data Sheet
(SDS). Carefully review the most recent MSDS for your specific chemical system. The SDS sheets
provide information about the component’s composition, toxicology and health information,
7
regulatory information, emergency and first aid instruction, spill or leak clean-up procedures, and
waste disposal information. Periodically review all regulatory requirements as established by Federal,
State, or Municipal governments. Changes are subject to occur without notice.

4. INSTALLATION
Complete AUTOFROTH® Unit Installation
The Autofroth® unit consists of the following assemblies and parts:

* The gun assembly, the “A” and “B” side flow controller assemblies and the air purge
assembly. These assemblies will be shipped as one assembled unit.
* The “A” and “B” side hoses. Each side has a 20’ x 3/4” diameter hose connected to a 5’ x 1/2”
hose (each hose has a braided stainless steel exterior). The hoses will come heat taped, bundled
with (2) 30’ x 1/4” diameter hoses and wrapped in Arma-flex insulation and covered with a
nylon sleeve.
* Mixing tube assembly.
* Nitrogen regulator assembly.
* Timer if required.
4.1. Connect Material Hoses to Gun Head
Attach the two 5’ stainless steel hoses to the ball valves at the rear of the gun assembly. The hoses
marked with white tape and labeled A-side should be connected to the side of the gun assembly with
the engraved A-side tag on it.
4.2. Connect Filter/Self Sealing Coupling Assemblies to Hoses
Connect the filter assemblies to the back of the material hoses. Each filter is color coded, BRASS for
the A-side and BLACK for the B-side.
4.3. Nitrogen Pressurization Connections
Attach the regulator assembly to a full tank of nitrogen. Connect the two 1/4” hoses with the brass-
colored quick disconnect fittings (used for pressurizing the chemical tanks) to the main regulator (235
psig) ports. Connect the regulator end only. (Cap the port on the step down regulator with the 1/4”
JIC cap provided.) We do not sell the step down regulator.
Caution: Nitrogen tank must be secured to an immovable object to prevent accidental toppling.
4.4. Air Filter/Regulator Assembly Connections
Connect the 1/4” x 30’ black nylon hose to the 1/4” JIC adapter on the filter outlet. Suitably mount the
air filter so that the 30’ hose will reach the extender nipple on the B-side flow controller assembly.
Once mounted, connect the free end of the 30’ hose to the extender nipple. Make sure both valves on
the air purge assembly are closed. Now, the inlet port to the air filter can be connected to 80-100 psig
house air supply. Check for leaks.
Open the front flow valve on the air purge assembly. Then slowly open the rear valve. A continuous
forceful flow of air should be obtained. Now close the front valve. A small amount of air should be
flowing. This should be kept on continuously (during and between pours).
4.5. Connect Nitrogen Hoses to Chemical Tanks
Connect the brass-colored quick disconnect fittings to the A and B-side chemical tanks by attaching
them to the male fitting on the tanks.
36
On A-5, A-7, A-10 and A-20 size Autofroth® tanks, there is a ball valve located below the quick
connect fittings. In order to pressurize the tank, this valve must be opened after the hose connection
has been made. The open position is achieved when the handle is in line with the hose. SLOWLY open
the ball valve. A surge of nitrogen gas should be noticed as the pressure builds up in the tank to 235
psig.
4.6. Autofroth® Chemical Supply Connections
Ensure that the ball valves on the chemical tanks are in the closed position. Remove the hexagonal
shaped sealing caps from the self-sealing coupling fittings at the top of each tank. Apply a thin film of
petroleum jelly to the thread area before connecting the mating male or female self-sealing coupling.
Screw the black Tank Connections onto the black B-side tank, and screw the brass Tank Connections
onto the white A-side tank. Complete attachment with a wrench. Open the nitrogen tank. Nitrogen
should be hear surging into the chemical tanks. SLOWLY open the ball valve on each chemical tank.
Check for leaks.
4.7. Connect Mixing Tube Assembly
Place the mixer mounting nut over the stepped down end of the mixer tube and slide it to the opposite
end of the tube. Screw the mounting nut onto the front of the gun assembly.
4.8. Turn Component Heat Tape On
Plug power cord into a 120 VAC outlet. Set thermostat to desired temperature.
4.9. Set Timer
Set timer to desired shot time. For pneumatic units, depress trigger and keep depressed for short
duration.
4.10. Heat Tape Installation
The following is a procedure to install heat tape to existing hose bundles not supplied with
preinstalled tape:
STEP 1 Determine the length of heat tape needed for your gun drop (18 ft.
standard for 25 ft. hose bundle)
STEP 2 Attach the thermostat assembly to the chemical hoses, using
electrical tape to hold it in place. Typically the thermostat is
mounted 4-5 ft. from the end of the chemical hoses. Place the
copper bulb (thermocouple sensor) in the groove between the
chemical hoses, as close as possible. Use electrical tape to secure the
sensor to the hose.
STEP 3 Place the heat tape along the chemical hoses, (starting about 5
inches after the thermostat) on the opposite side of the
thermocouple sensor. Use electrical tape and/or tie wraps
(approximately every 12 inches) to secure the heat tape.
Caution: Make sure the heat tape never touches the thermocouple sensor.
STEP 4 Place insulation over the bundle, covering all the heat tape, leaving
the plug exposed. Secure the air and water flush lines and the T-8,
37
T-9, Pneumatic or PLC Remote Cable Assembly (if applicable) to
the hoses outside of the insulation with duct tape at the hose whip
end. Make sure you have enough slack in the lines to connect them.
Duct tape both ends of the insulation. Secure the expandable
sleeving over the insulation, using duct tape to hold it in place at the
two ends of the insulation. Plug the heat tape into the thermostat
and set the temperature.
For any questions or concerns, contact your local BASF representative.
5. AUTOFROTH® OPERATION
5.1. Start Up Procedure
1. Turn on power to heat tapes.
2. Check all hoses to ensure integrity
3. Open the nitrogen valve(s). Make sure that pressure is 235 psig and a sufficient supply of dry
nitrogen is available. (Change tank at 500 lbs. of demand pressure)
4. Open the ball valves on the chemical storage cylinders.
5. Ensure that the chemical storage room temperature is correct.
6. Make sure that the dispense head manifold is clean.
7. Ensure that the air purge function at the dispense head is operational. (Check bleed air and full
purge).
8. Check that water flush is operational, if applicable.
9. Slowly open the ball valves at the flow controllers.
10. Turn on the timer, if applicable.
11. Attach a clean mixer and perform daily foam tests once the chemicals are up to proper
temperature.
12. Begin production if results of foam tests are acceptable.
5.2. Routine Operation
5.2.1. Ratio Check
Remove mixer tube. Close both ball valves & bleed down the ball valves forward and open the A-side
ball valve on the A-side flow controller assembly. Make sure the rear flow valve on the Air Purge
assembly is in the off position to minimize A-side atomization. Set the timer for 15 seconds, pull the
trigger and release, pouring the A-side into a plastic bag. After the shot, open both the rear and front
air flush valves to purge the A-side from the gun, then close them. Tie the plastic bag to minimize the
escape of the blowing agent. Weigh the bag shot and record the net weight (the very small amount of
B-side which will exit the gun during the A-side pour will not cause any detectable error). If using a T-
9, T-8, or PLC, make sure the measured weight & the calculated weight agree.
Now, close the A-side ball valve on the A-side flow controller assembly and open the B-side ball valve
on the B-side flow controller assembly. Set the timer for 15 seconds, pull the trigger and release,
pouring the B-side into a plastic bag. After the shot, tie the bag to minimize blowing agent loss. Weigh
the bag shot and record the net weight. At this point, a small amount of B-side will appear to be
leaking from the gun. This is not leakage but simply a small amount of residual B-side remaining
between the exit port and the check valve in the B-side flow controller assembly. This will stop in a
short time. Again if using a T-9, T-8, or PLC make sure the actual weight & calculated weight are the
same.
38
Compare the net weights and determine the “A” to “B” ratio using the A-side net weight as 100%.
Compare the calculated ratio to the specifications on your Autofroth® system data sheet. Record the
results in a log (see page 39). It is recommended that the ratio be taken daily at start-up. When using
T-9, T-8, or PLC the ratio is determined on every shot.
5.2.2. Equipment Output Determination
Attach the mixing tube assembly to the gun. Open the A and B-side ball valves. Make sure the rear
flow valve of the air purge assembly is in the on position and the front valve is in the off position (a
small air flow should be detectable). Set the timer for 15 seconds, pull the trigger and start dispensing
foam into a plastic bag or other suitable sized container. At 15 seconds, move the gun to a flush bucket
and flush out the mixing tube. Allow the foam to rise completely before obtaining the net weight and
calculating the output in pounds per minute. It is recommended that the foam output be obtained
daily at start-up.
5.2.3. Foam Pouring
Use same procedure at stated in Equipment Output Determination section. Here of course, the shot
time will depend upon the product being foamed. Please note that the mixing tube does not have to be
taken off and disposed of as soon as a shot is complete if more than one shot is required. For example,
if several pour locations and shot times are required, simply air purge the mixing tube (by opening
and then closing the front flow valve) and proceed to the next pour location. This procedure can be
followed for numerous pours as long as the dwell time between pours is not excessive. For systems
having a tack-free time of 3 minutes to 3 minutes 30 seconds, a dwell time of 30 to 40 seconds should
pose no problem (remember to air purge the mixer). If faster systems are used, then the dwell time
will, of course, decrease accordingly.
It is recommended that the equipment be positioned such that the gun hangs vertically
downward when not in use. This will allow the air bleed to continually push residual A-
side (in the area between the exit port and the check valve) from the exit port.
5.2.4. Flushing With Water
The life of the disposable static mixer can be extended by using the optional water flush assembly.
After a shot has been completed, direct the mixer into a flush container and fully open the water flush
valve. With water flowing, pulse (open and close quickly) the air flush valve to maximize the water’s
effectiveness. After 5-6 air pulses, close the water valve and keep the air flush fully open for 15-20
seconds to dry out the mix tube. Replace the mix tube when foam is not fully removed and starts
building up in the mixer.
5.3. Shutdown Procedure
1. Turn off timer, if applicable, and turn off power to heat tapes.
2. Close ball valves at flow controllers.
3. Remove the mixer from the dispense head.
4. Check the dispense head manifold ports and mixer attachment threads for any foam buildup. Clean
if necessary.
5. Turn off water pressure to the dispense head, if applicable.
6. Hang the dispenser pointing downward with the low volume air bleed on.
7. Close the ball vales on the chemical storage cylinders.
8. Check how far integrity.
9. Turn off the nitrogen supply.

6. CHANGEOVER OF CHEMICAL CONTAINERS
On all A-5,000 (and larger) tanks a level gauge is located on top of each tank to indicate liquid level.
The tanks should be disconnected when gauges indicate 5% or less. (A-1,000 tanks do not have level
indicating gauges). See instructions below for disconnecting. Change both tanks at the same time.
They are filled in the proper proportions so that they should both be empty at approximately the same
time. Should a tank become completely empty, a “jerk” in the hoses and dispenser will be felt as the
suppressing of nitrogen gas through the equipment becomes apparent? When this happens,
immediately release the trigger and prepare to change to a new set of tanks. Also when
a new set of tanks is on line the air in the lines will need to be pushed out.
When you have determined it is appropriate to change the tanks, perform the shutdown procedure
outlined in Section 5-3. Disconnect the nitrogen feed hoses from each tank. Disconnect the tank
connection assembly from the empty chemical tanks by using two wrenches. Apply one wrench to the
tank self-sealing coupling to prevent the ball valve and dip tube from turning. With the other wrench,
unscrew the mating coupling assembly. Keep the self-sealing coupling and tank clean at all times
when they are being removed and replaced. Lubricate the coupling threads with a light film of
petroleum jelly before making new connections.
6.1. Preparing Empty Cylinders for Return
Be sure that the dust caps are tightly screwed onto the male and female self-sealing couplings and the
nitrogen inlet caps are in place when the tanks are not in use. This is essential to prevent possible
contamination and vapor leaks from the connectors. Make sure that the threads and internal body of
all fittings are clean and lightly lubricated and fill the self-sealing coupling with petroleum jelly before
replacing caps. (Refer to instructions for proper use of the Care Package, pg. 42)
All cylinders must be depressurized before they are transported.
There are two possible ways to depressurize the cylinders. The first and preferred method is to
depressurize the cylinders to 75 psig and to return under a DOT placard UN 1956 (compressed gas)
affixed to the cylinder. This is achieved when using the blowdown control assembly.
Note: If cylinders are received with a DOT placard UN 3082 affixed, the cylinder must be returned
with this placard regardless of the pressure.
Depressurize all tanks outdoors or in a well ventilated area.
If a well ventilated area is unavailable, see the current Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for your particular
foam system. The SDS will recommend personal protection equipment and list the effects of vapor
exposure. You may also contact the BASF Emergency Response Team for a recommendation at (800)
832-4357.
On all A-1,000 size tanks, the nitrogen quick connect inlet port is also used for depressurization. A
pressure gauge assembly (part 5X0206) shown on page 29, is used for this procedure. The blow down
procedure is described below:
1. Disconnect material and nitrogen supply lines in the normal manner.

2. Connect the pressure relief assembly to the nitrogen quick connect port on the tank.
41
3. Slowly open the valve to vent the nitrogen.
4. Venting should continue until the pressure reaches between 70 to 75 psig on the pressure
gauge.
5. Close the valve and remove the pressure relief assembly.
6. Place cap on the nitrogen quick connect port.
On all A-20, A-10 and A-5 size tanks, there is a blowdown port. The blowdown for these tanks is
described below. Using a blowdown control assembly (see page 29), it should be depressurized to 75
psig.
1. Disconnect material and nitrogen supply lines in the normal manner.
2. If 3/8” ball valve on nitrogen blowdown port is open, close it.
3. Attach the blowdown control assembly:
A. Slowly open the ball valve to relieve normal operation pressure.
B. Venting should continue until 75 psig pressure is read on the pressure gauge.
C. Close the ball valve.
D. Clean fittings with suitable solvent.
NOTE: Pressure relief for all size tanks must be accomplished in a well ventilated area with access to
safety equipment and showers.
Make sure the correct DOT placards are applied to the cylinder based on the residual pressure in the
cylinder. The shipping regulations permit freight forwarding and common carriers to charge different
rates for different DOT categories. The Shippers failure to apply the proper DOT label is a violation of
the Department of Transportation regulations and could result in a maximum fine of $10,000.00 per
occurrence.

7. MAINTENANCE
Due to the operating and design simplicity of the Autofroth® SL-306 unit, very little maintenance is
required. Regular maintenance is, however, required in the foam exit area of the gun and in the grease
lubrication areas located on the top of the gun.
While foam cross-over is highly unlikely with this equipment, it is possible for reacted foam to come
into contact with the face of the manifold forming hardened foam which could eventually clog one or
both exit ports. This can be eliminated by checking the exit area before each pour and simply scraping
off any hardened foam. This situation will be aggravated if the mixing tube is partially clogged. Make
sure the mixing tube is clean before pouring. A clogged mixing tube can also lead to the
“A” and “B” components backing up and out of the grease lubrication ports.
Lubrication of the air cylinder piston rods using only teflon-based, non-lithium grease (3X8446) is
recommended daily. The grease fittings are located on top of the tie plate.

Every shot Mixer Inspect after every shot, must
be clean and dry for best results
Daily Air bleed valve Check for proper operation on a

daily basis
Grease the guns (Do not use lithium grease use

a Teflon type or Vaseline).
When iso or resin reach the
grease ports rebuild the gun.
Weekly Gun manifold Remove the manifolds once a

week to inspect for build-up
around the valving rods and the
air bleed check valve.
Quarterly Filters Check every 3 months, clean or

replace as needed.
Yearly Rebuild gun If you rebuild more than once a

year, look at the valving rods
for scoring or scratches which
tend to break the seal.
