Features of a Darley CAFS
Ability to independently vary the type of foam delivered out each CAFS discharge. A Darley CAFS can even deliver plain water, water with foam solution, compressed air foam, or even plain compressed air all simultaneously to give you the tools you need to do the job.
The large volume of compressed air can be used to operate air tools, fill air bags, blow smoke out of a building, or even blow debris from a roadway at an accident scene.
