BOOM
General
These machines are fitted with manual folding booms
which are available in sizes from 9-12 metres in span.
These booms are constructed from rectangular
hollow section (RHS) for great strength. The boom
wings can be folded in for transport, and jet bodies
are mounted on stainless steel brackets behind the
boom for protection.
All booms, regardless of their design and operating
width, present certain safety hazards in their
operation. Please ensure that you have read all safety
precautions as included in this manual in Chapter 2
‘Safety’ and take particular note of the warning below.
WARNING:
Never stand within the radius of boom
wings. Keep clear of overhead obstructions.
Boom Height
The standard nozzle spacing on Goldacres booms
is 500 mm. For this spacing, the optimum height the
boom should be from the object to be sprayed with a
110° fan angle nozzle is 500 mm.
There will be adequate spray coverage if the nozzles
are higher than this, but potential for spray drift is
increased. The spray pattern is affected by many
factors not limited to, but including; gravity, pressure,
chemical composition and droplet size. Therefore the
spray pattern can not extend to the full theoretical
coverage. Refer to the TeeJet nozzle selection
catalogue for further information on spray application
and nozzle technology.
