JBS Makina foam tanks allow a mixture of water and car-wash chemicals to be applied to vehicle surfaces as dense, controlled foam in professional car wash businesses.
Foam Tanks
Model: J-KT60
The JBS J-KT60 is a 60-litre car wash foam tank designed to apply dense, even foam across vehicle surfaces in professional facilities. It operates at 5 bar and includes a 10-metre hose and trigger-controlled foam gun. Ideal for prewashing cars, commercial vehicles, minibuses and motorcycles, it helps loosen mud, dust, road grime and oily residues.
Foam Tanks
Model: J-KT100
The JBS J-KT100 is a 100-litre car wash foam tank designed to apply dense, even foam across vehicle surfaces in high-volume facilities. It operates at 5 bar and includes a 10-metre hose and trigger-controlled foam gun. Its large capacity reduces refilling frequency, supporting uninterrupted and efficient prewashing of cars, minibuses, vans and commercial vehicles.
Category Guide
A foam tank is a professional cleaning device that uses compressed air to apply a mixture of water and professional car-wash chemicals to vehicle surfaces as foam.
Dense foam helps soften mud, dust, road grime, and residues adhering to the surface. This can make the main pressure-washing and rinsing processes more effective.
A foam tank does not produce pressurized water on its own. A suitable air compressor is required to operate the tank, while a pressure washer is needed for washing and rinsing.
| Model | Tank capacity | Working pressure | Hose length | Gun |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 L Foam Tank J-KT60 | 60 L | 5 bar | 10 m | Trigger-operated |
| 100 L Foam Tank J-KT100 | 100 L | 5 bar | 10 m | Trigger-operated |
The inclusion of a safety valve, pressure gauge, pressure regulator, hose, foam gun, and connection fittings in the delivery package should be confirmed before ordering either model.
Water and car-wash shampoo are added to the tank in the proportions recommended by the manufacturer. Compressed air supplied by an air compressor pushes the mixture through the hose and foam gun onto the vehicle surface.
Foam density may vary according to the following factors:
The foam should not be allowed to dry on the vehicle surface. After the waiting time recommended for the chemical, the surface should be rinsed using suitable water pressure and flow.
The tank cap or connections must not be opened while the tank is pressurized. The pressure gauge, safety valve, regulator, hose, and connections should be inspected before use.
Foam tanks can be used in:
The selected chemical must be compatible with vehicle paintwork, plastic components, wheels, seals, and any other surfaces to which it will be applied.
The J-KT60 can be considered by businesses with low or moderate daily vehicle volumes that require a more compact foam tank for their working area.
The J-KT100 is intended for businesses with higher daily vehicle volumes or those that want to refill the foam mixture less frequently during operation. Its larger capacity can support longer operation with a single fill.
Both models have a working pressure of 5 bar, a 10-meter hose, and a trigger-operated foam gun. Selection should therefore be based primarily on daily foam consumption, refill frequency, available space, and mobility requirements.
A larger tank does not improve foam quality on its own. Foam performance depends on the correct combination of chemical concentration, air capacity, pressure setting, and gun configuration.
The following factors should be evaluated before purchasing:
A foam tank should not be selected solely according to its capacity or purchase price. Compressor compatibility, safety equipment, hose and gun quality, daily operating intensity, and delivery scope should be evaluated together.
A foam tank is pressurized equipment. The safety valve must not be disabled, and the working pressure specified by the manufacturer must not be exceeded.
After each use, the tank, hose, and gun should be rinsed with clean water. Leaving chemical residues inside the system for extended periods may shorten the service life of seals, hoses, valves, and connections.
Operation should not continue with damaged hoses, loose connections, or malfunctioning safety equipment. Periodic inspections should be carried out according to the manufacturer’s operating and maintenance instructions.
Foam tank prices vary according to tank capacity, body construction, working pressure, hose length, foam gun, safety equipment, connection fittings, and standard delivery scope.

When selecting a foam tank, factors such as the number of vehicles washed daily, foam consumption, refill frequency, working area, and the capacity of the existing air compressor should be evaluated together.
The J-KT60 is a more compact option suitable for businesses with low to medium washing volume. The J-KT100 is designed for operations with a high number of daily vehicles and for those who prefer less frequent refilling of the foam mixture.
Before purchasing, the following features should be checked:
Tank capacity alone does not determine foam quality. The chemical mixing ratio, air pressure, compressor capacity, gun adjustment, and equipment maintenance directly affect foam performance.
In pressurized systems, safety components must be checked regularly, and the manufacturer’s specified working pressure must not be exceeded. By sharing your daily vehicle volume and the technical specifications of your existing compressor with JBS Makina, you can receive an up-to-date quotation for the most suitable tank capacity and equipment configuration.
The choice should be based on daily vehicle volume, foam consumption, refill frequency, and workspace conditions.
Professional chemicals compatible with the tank, seals, and hose materials should be used.
The safety valve, pressure gauge, regulator, and secure connections should be checked regularly.
