Viper Recovery Compressed-Air-Foam-System

A compact, self‑contained CAFS you can wear as a backpack, wheel like a roll‑aboard, or mount to a small vehicle. Twin collapsible bladders (1.0 / 1.5 / 2.0 US gal options) mix on demand for foam or decontamination solution delivery in tight spaces and rough terrain. Approx. 66 × 38 × 29 cm, designed for ~100 psi operation with standard SCBA cylinders.

Key features

• Three carry/deploy modes: backpack, rolling “carry‑on” style, or vehicle/UTV mounting for flexible response.
• Twin‑bladder system: removable, refillable bladders in 3 sizes (≈ 3.79 / 5.69 / 7.57 L) for binary mixes or single‑agent use.
• Adjustable output: on‑demand control of foam expansion via solution/air ratio; suitable for fire attack, vapour suppression and decon.
• SCBA‑powered: runs from common 2216–4500 psi (≈ 150–300 bar) cylinders; low‑pressure compressor port available on some units.
• Built for the field: rugged soft‑pack construction (e.g., CORDURA®/nylon), ergonomic harness and simple controls.
