In our example the setting of the metering unit would
have to be reduced by 17%, from 2.7 to 2.24 I/min. If this
is not done, the quantity of solution required would
increase 17%, from 54 liters to 63.2 liters. If both these
variations occurred at the same time, the setting of the
metering unit would have to be reduced by 27%, from 2.7
to 1.97 I/min, because the quantity of solution required
would otherwise increase 27%, from 54 liters to 68.6
liters.
Use of standard/special accessories
Pressure pump (special accessory)
The pressure pump is recommended for applications in
which the spray tube to be held at an upward angle of
more than 30°. It helps maintain a constant discharge
rate in all spray tube positions. Furthermore, active
ingredients which tend to settle in the container are held
in suspension by constant agitation of the solution.
The
tapered baffle screen
causes the solution to be dis-
charged finely atomized in a broad, dense and short
cloud.
The
deflector baffle screen
diverts the spray jet at an
angle. It can be used for under-leaf treatment of low-
growing crops.
The
dual deflector baffle screen
splits the spray jet into
two and thus allows two rows of plants to be treated
simultaneously.
