About Foamstream models
Foamstream L16
Built on the frame of the L12, this system delivers higher output with rapid start-up, making it ideal for busy teams covering large environments.
The L16 is built for productivity: fast to deploy, simple to operate and versatile across weed control, moss treatment and cleaning tasks.
Perfect for contractors and councils balancing varied workloads.
Foamstream L12
The L12 remains Weedingtech’s entry-level option.
This machine bridges the gap between our compact hybrid unit, the L10 and our larger automated system, the L16.
The L12 is ideal for operators requiring maximum power and flexibility for varied weed control and cleaning applications.
Foamstream L10H
A compact, highly portable system built for smaller-scale sites, pathways and tight urban spaces.
Designed to run quietly and efficiently, the L10H is ideal for teams who need reliable performance without the footprint of a larger machine.
A strong choice for organisations taking their first step away from herbicides.
How to choose your Foamstream system
Three things make the biggest difference when selecting a model:
The scale of your work
Large networks, residential streets, parks, estates and hard-to-reach urban areas all place different demands on a machine.
Your mounting or vehicle requirements
From compact units suited to UTVs and small fleets to higher-capacity systems designed for contractors and councils.
How you plan to use Foamstream year-round
All systems treat weeds, moss and algae, and support cleaning, gum removal and sanitisation, but the level of output you need will shape the right choice.
Once you have these factors in mind, the table above will help you compare.

Do all Foamstream systems deliver the same weed-kill efficacy?
Yes. All models use the same patented Foamstream process: hot water insulated by biodegradable foam, to keep plants in the kill zone long enough to ensure effective treatment.
What vehicle do I need?
Models vary in size and weight. The L10H suits small vehicles and UTVs; the L16 and L12 require larger vehicles with appropriate payload capacity. Always check the specification for compatibility.
Can I use Foamstream in all weathers?
Yes. Foamstream is effective in wet, windy and cool conditions because the foam layer prevents heat loss to the atmosphere.
Is Foamstream safe for operators, the public and the environment?
Foamstream is approved for organic use and made from natural plant oils and sugars. It’s safe to use around people, pets and waterways.
What else can I use the machine for?
Every model supports multiple cleaning modes and interchangeable lances, so you can use them for everything from gum removal to street furniture cleaning to general sanitisation.
