The theoretical coverage of a nozzle is essentially determined by the spray angle and spray height above the target. Depending on nozzle type and nozzle size, the spray pressure can also influence the spray angle and distribution accuracy. Prerequisites for uniform liquid distribution in the spraying system are in compliance with the recommended spray pressure at the nozzle as well with the minimum spray height for a given nozzle spacing. Effective coverage Spray angle Theoretical coverage B for different spray heights H [cm] 10 * Parentherized data: mayor difference between effective and...

SPRAY NOZZLE TECHNOLOGY ቧ Nozzle arrangement in the system Flat-jet nozzles Hollow cone nozzles and Lechler assembly clips with TWISTLOC/Multijet bayonet cap. The Lechler nozzle adjusting gauge (Order No. 065.231.02) is available for systems with screw/union nut fastening. In order to avoid mutual spray jet interference, the jet plane of flat spray nozzles is rotated by around 7.5° – 10° with respect to the pipe axis. This takes place automatically with Lechler diaphragm valves Hollow cone nozzles must be arranged so that the jet cones just overlap immediately before the target surface....

Spray nozzle technology ቨ Calculation formula for field spraying Application parameters The table values in the technical part of the catalog apply for field spraying booms with a lateral nozzle spacing of A = 0.5 m. The adjacent formula apply for other lateral nozzle spacings. As a general rule: of the four parameters driving speed (km/h), application rate (l/ha), flow rate (l/min) and nozzle spacing (m), three are normally known. The frequently unknown variables (l/ha; l/min) are also calculated using the adjacent formulae. Liter per hectare rate, M (l/ha) . M = 600 x V A x vF . Flow...

SPRAY NOZZLE TECHNOLOGY ቪ Recommendations Correct „ltering“ Malfunctions during operation caused by coarse particles can be prevented by use of the correct lter system. In order to protect the nozzle lter, we recommend selecting a mesh lter in the pressure lter which is one category ner. The recommendations for the mesh size (M) of the nozzle lter/cup strainer are provided in the spray tables according to nozzle size. Filling sieve 16 M Optional pressure lter in partial widths 50/80 M Cup strainer 25 – 60 M Tank strainer 16 M (Mesh) Pressure Filter tting 50/80 M Scheme of selecting the mesh...

Spray nozzle technology A sprayer will deliver the desired product quantity per hectare only if it is correctly adjusted. The easiest method for checking this yourself is measurement of the individual nozzle output. A nozzle is considered to be worn if the individual nozzle output is 10 % above the table value of nozzles of same size. The pressure range and pressure drop must be taken into account. Even with ow-controlled devices, a water capacity test is necessary. Source: Bildungswerkstatt Mold, Pichler Herbert Nozzles become worn even if used properly and thus have a limited service...
