Carlisle
2020 was a challenging year, but Carlisle wasstill able to enter the SPF equipment industry. After acquiring AccellaPerformance Materials in 2017, Carlisle began to develop its own spray foamequipment line. It combined its 100 years of experience in the constructionindustry with Accella's expertise in the independent polyurethane systemindustry, and the results have already drawn much attention.
After launching Carlisle Spray Foam Insulation (CSFI), Carlisle introduced its IntelliSpray system. The IntelliSpray system addresses some well-known contractor frustrations such as:
- Not being sure if your mixture ison ratio.
- Needing more heat because theequipment cannot keep up.
- Stopping to repair equipment.
- The equipment requires too muchexpertise to operate.
The system includes the IS40 Proportioner, ST1 spray foam gun, and the QuickHeat Hose. When used together, the system cuts up to 1 to 1.5 hours of labor per job, produces 5-15% higher yields, and can warm up in under 15 minutes. In 2020, the ST1's ergonomic design won an award in the A Design Award Competition in the Hardware, Power and Hand Tools Design Category. Overall, we recommend this brand for contractors who are building a commercial spray foam rig due to its advanced technology and connection to a stable company.
