ACCESSORIES FOR SPRAYERS AND WEED KILLING
GROUPS
Sprayers and weed killing groups differ from atomizers because , instead of centrifugal
impeller, they use booms (manual or hydraulic opening) to deliver the product. These
booms can be of various sizes. Moreover on these sprayers it's possible to fit a variety of
applications such as lances, electric sprayers, hose reel, kit trace-file, hydraulic or manual
lifting.
4.7.1 WEED KILLING BOOMS
The weed killing booms are made of painted steel. They mounted nozzles that
allow the distribution of the weed killing product on crops.
They can have horizontal arms (closing folding inward), "X" or "U" or closing
vertically.
The booms have inlet hoses to plug directly on the machine (see section 4.1.8
and 4.1.9)
The flow adjustment is carried out like on a axial fan sprayer keeping in mind the
scope of mounted nozzles (see section 4.4.1)
The opening of the bars can be::
-manual :opening totally the arms until the vertical position
-hydraulics: opening is regulated by hydraulic cylinders using a control unit in the
tractor cabin or .
Mechanical :
Those booms are made of painted steel with nozzles mounted at 50 cm distance to
each other.
The booms are bent in the central part and the outer arms are fitted with hinges to
avoid breakage in case of impact against obstacles that may be in their radius.
However it is recommended to avoid collisions with any object.
