Aircrete Foam Generator Machine DIY [ How To build one that makes Great Foam!
This video is about how to build an Aircrete foam generator for a reasonable price. I was able to build this for about $85 because I got the diaphragm pump on Ebay used and had the air regulator sitting in my garage from another project. Let me know in the comments section if you have any questions.
I got the foam concentrate from https://richway.com/construction-products/foam-concentrate.html You will have to call them to order it and it is $50 for a gallon.
Here is a link to the Foam Generator schematic drawing that was in the video. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rMhHqjNDU2MWZscxY_1I2QfUVqZMkSJ3/view?usp=sharing
Here is a link to my video on how to make the foam wand that goes with this generator. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_PhNzBS1NU&t=6s
And here is a link to my How to make Aircrete the right way. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q5xqT2sFGdI&t=4s
And also a link to my homemade cement mixer that I designed specifically for making aircrete. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gkvCt18E97k&t=969s
Here is a parts list of the items you will need to make this generator. I didn’t use either of these pumps so you may need some clamps or fittings that I didn’t use to make either of these pumps work. I found my pump used on eBay and usually there are used pumps for sale in the $40-$60 range. Hope this helps.
