QUICK, SAFE DEPOPULATION WITH ONE OPERATOR
Specially designed to reduce the number of personnel who must enter a facility, the AVI-FOAMGUARD greatly reduces biosecurity risk over traditional methods.
Developed with the advice and review of commercial producers, poultry researchers, veterinary professionals and agricultural agencies including USDA, Kifco's AVI-FOAMGUARD offers a tested solution to the challenge of emergency mass depopulation. Using proven technology, U.L.-listed non-toxic foam, and fool-proof controls, Kifco's AVI-FOAMGUARD allows crews to depopulate even the largest commercial broiler house in less than an hour from set-up to clean-up.
Kifco's AVI-FOAMGUARD requires only a two-person crew to operate, representing an enormous savings in cost and time. Even better, only one operator needs to enter a facility. Local producers, state agriculture departments, and emergency management personnel can quickly learn to operate the equipment and can rely on its ease of use. The AVI-FOAMGUARD combines Kifco's proprietary self-guided WaterReel® technology, a gasoline-powered booster pump, a chemical injection pump, and one or more industry-standard foam generators mounted on a specially adapted trolley.
As a result, the AVI-FOAMGUARD system delivers a water-based, medium-expansion foam with small, dense bubbles—creating a rolling wave of foam well over three feet high that moves gently through the house—without disturbing or unduly stressing poultry and without any labor on the part of its operator.
HOW IT WORKS
Operating the AVI-FOAMGUARD requires only a two-person crew who follow the simple procedures below.
 |
1 Position AVI-FOAMGUARD
Back trailer to near door of broiler house. Unhitch trailer. Mount winch (optional) on truck tow-hitch. |
 |
2 Tow Equipment Into House
Move truck to far end of broiler house. Walk tow-cable through house, then hook it to foam trolley. Engage winch, towing trolley through facility. |
 |
3 Connect Water Supply
Connect water supply using standard fire-hose couplings. (AVI-FOAMGUARD can pull water from fire trucks and tankers, municipal water-mains, or on-farm pumps
and pools.) |
 |
4 Switch On Engine & Pump
Start retraction engine and booster pump. Switch on and prime injection pump(s). Open flow valve to start foam flow. |
 |
5 Foam Facility
As foam fills facility, engag e Water-Reel's retraction engine. Swivel foam generators to direct foam flow. |
 |
6 Retraction & Clean-Up
Continue retracting foamer through house, up ramp, and onto trailer. Flow stops automatically on full rewind.
High-pressure spray washes litter from hose. Wash foam cart, wheels, and trailer gate with pressure-washer. |
