Ensure that the consumable liquid (foam concentrate) is not
subject to temperatures below 5 degrees centigrade at any
time.
Ensure that both the M1200 and its water tank are securely
attached to the transport vehicle. It is the responsibility of
the vehicle driver to ensure that any load is secure and that
any payload restrictions are observed you can refer to
section 13 for more information on transport.

Product description
The M1200 weed control unit consists of:
•
Foamstream®
•
Water tank (780 litres)
•
Hose reel (30 metres)
•
Lance
The M1200 houses a diesel-powered boiler, a diesel-
powered generator, a logic controller (PLC), a piston pump,
a 52 litres diesel tank, and a 22 litres Foamstream®
concentrate tank.
When the water reaches 95 degrees centigrade, a valve
opens allowing water to flow from the lance (12 lpm @ 12
bar) and a venturi mixer opens to allow Foamstream®
concentrate to be injected at a ratio of 99.5 parts water to
0.5 parts concentrate. Air is added to the water and
Foamstream® mix as it exits the lance to create the foam.
Figure 1 - M1200 (operator not included)
When the machine is switched on and operational, water is
pumped at 12 litres per minute and passes through the
boiler to be heated up to a minimum of 95 degrees
centigrade.
The M1200 has been designed to require no manual input or
adjustment. The PLC monitors the system pressure,
temperature and flow rate to ensure optimum performance
of the unit.
A pressure relief valve and over-temperature sensor ensure
that internal pressure and temperature will not exceed 35
bar or 120 degrees centigrade in the event of a system fault.
Operation of the M1200 is via the user interface at the front
of the unit (see section 6 for details).
