What is a TeeJet nozzle?

TeeJet Technologies offers an extensive selection of nozzles specifically designed to maximize the performance of your liquid fertilizer application. For these applications TeeJet Technologies offers a wide variety of low drift, flat spray nozzles.

What is an air induction spray tip?

Air Induction XR Flat Fan It has a pressure operating range of 15 to 90 psi and produces a spray angle of 110 degrees. It produces a much larger drift-reducing drop than the XR flat-fan nozzle, which is due to the pressure-reducing design of the nozzle and the introduction of air into the spray drop.

How do Boomless spray nozzles work?

Boomless nozzles are used for vegetative management activities where it’s not practical, or sometimes even impossible, to use a horizontal boom. Unlike a typical flat fan nozzle, these nozzles direct spray laterally in one or two directions, creating a very wide spray pattern.

How do I choose a spray nozzle?

Steps to select the proper nozzle size:

  1. Select the application rate in gallons per acre (gpa).
  2. Select a practical and safe ground speed in miles per hour (mph).
  3. Determine the spray width per nozzle (W).
  4. Determine the flow rate (gpm) required from each nozzle by using the following equation:

How do you read a spray nozzle?

Most companies identify their flat-fan nozzles with a four or five digit number (Figure 2). The first numbers are the spray angle and the other numbers signify the discharge rate at rated pressure. For example, an 8005 has an 80 degree spray angle and will apply 0.5 gallons per minute (GPM) at rated pressure of 40 psi.

Which type of nozzle is used for insecticide spray?

fan nozzle
The most common type of nozzle used in agriculture is the fan nozzle. A fan nozzle is widely used for spraying pesticides — both banding (over and between rows) and broadcast applications. These nozzles produce a tapered-edge, flat-fan spray pattern (Figure 2).

Is a boom or Boomless sprayer better?

Boomless sprayers are typically easier to maneuver, as they offer a more compact setup than that of a boom sprayer. Boomless sprayers are typically used for spraying ditches, fence lines, rough terrain, around objects that require sharper turns (think poles and trees), as well as woods and trails.

Are Boomless sprayers any good?

Boomless sprayers have their advantages over a boom type sprayer as well. Such include, spraying along road ditches or on rough terrain where a boom could become damaged. Another advantage of a boomless type sprayer is the simplicity of the unit.

What are the four steps for selecting nozzle tips?

Nozzle tips must be selected according to the spray coverage, droplet size, and application volume desired….Where:

  1. GPM = gallons per minute of output required from each nozzle.
  2. GPA = gallons per acre desired.
  3. MPH = miles per hour travel speed.
  4. W = effective spray width per nozzle in inches.

How do I know what size spray nozzle to buy?

To Choose The Right Tip For Your Spray Project, Follow These Recommendations: Choose a tip with an orifice size rated for the paint or coating you’ll be spraying. Light coatings such as lacquers, stains, and enamels require a small tip, while heavier coatings such as texture require larger spray tips.
