18-Foot Battery-Supported Electric Spray Foam Rig
Battery-supported polyurethane processing system with shore power connection. Reduced fuel dependency, lower operating costs, and consistent daily production capability for residential and light commercial applications.
Electric Battery-Supported Processing System
This 18-foot electric spray foam rig is a mobile polyurethane processing system designed to operate using battery-supported power, shore power, or supplemental generator input. This platform provides a controlled alternative to traditional diesel-powered spray foam rigs by reducing fuel dependency while maintaining consistent daily production capability.
By balancing equipment demand, material conditioning, and power usage, the system maintains reliable operation without requiring oversized generators or continuous fuel consumption. Designed for real-world spray foam applications supporting residential and light commercial insulation work.
The base system is built around the PMC PH-2 hydraulic proportioner with a 7.5 kW heater — a proven machine for insulation applications — matched to the battery power platform for balanced electrical demand.

PMC PH-2 Hydraulic Proportioner — 7.5 kW
The PMC PH-2 is a hydraulic-drive proportioner with a 7.5 kW heater system — selected for this platform because its electrical demand is well-matched to the battery power system. Hydraulic drive maintains consistent 1:1 ratio under varying pressure conditions, providing reliable performance for residential and light commercial insulation applications.
| Machine | PMC PH-2 Hydraulic Spray Foam Machine |
| Heater | 7.5 kW — balanced for battery platform |
| Drive Type | Hydraulic — consistent 1:1 ratio |
| Heated Hose | 210 ft 2,000 PSI insulated w/ tru wire & scuff jacket |
| Spray Gun | Graco Fusion PC (RND 01) |
| Gun Package | #01 spray tip, 3 rebuilds, tools, pin vice, drill bits, grease |
| Spare Chamber | RND 02 spray tip with drill bits |
| Flush Kit | Gun flush pot kit included |
| Rebuild Kit | FIX-IT Box (PC Gun) O-ring rebuild kit |
| Transfer Pumps | Electric Feed Supply Pumps (A & B side assemblies 3/4") |
| Recirculation | Gun mount & machine recirculation system |
Battery-Supported Electrical & Air Platform
| Power Source | Battery Power System with Integrated Thermal-Controlled Enclosure |
| Shore Power | Connection with 100 ft SO Cord included |
| Panel | 220 Volt Breaker Box |
| Outlets | 110 Volt Receptacle Outlets (×4) |
| Recharge | Overnight or during operation when power is available |
| Compressor | 3 HP, 1PH, 12 CFM, 230V, 30 Gallon |
| Air Drying | 20 CFM Refrigerated Air Dryer with Auto Dump |
| Distribution | Air Manifold Assembly, Quick Disconnects, Ball Valve |
Because material transfer is handled by electric pumps rather than air-driven transfer pumps, air demand is significantly reduced. The compressor provides air for the spray gun and auxiliary functions only — allowing a smaller, more efficient air system.
Lower Daily Operating Costs
Controlled Processing Environment
This rig is designed as a mobile polyurethane processing system allowing proper material conditioning during operation. The insulated trailer compartment and integrated heating support consistent material temperature management throughout the spray day.

Foam Yield & Material Estimator
Estimate board feet, material sets, approximate insulation performance, and project material cost based on square footage and spray thickness.
Calculated using closed-cell foam yield range of 4,000–4,500 board feet per set and material cost of $2,500–$2,800 per set. Actual yield and cost vary by material brand, substrate, and conditions. Always add overage for waste and transitions.
Results vary based on job complexity, regional pricing, production efficiency, and consistent rig deployment.
