Nozzle Sets for Typical Spraying Applications
The nozzle sets in the following examples are suitable for typical applications when spraying grapes,
orchard fruits and berries.
1. Grapes
Application rate
600 l/ha
Travel speed
5 km/hr
Row width
3.0 m
Spraying pressure
10 Bar
If using all 10 nozzles (5/side) then each nozzle needs to apply 1.5 l/minute. From the HCC nozzle
chart above the HCC02 (Orange) at 10-11 Bar pressure will give the desired output. An alternative
would be to use HCC025 (Red) at 7 Bar pressure to give the equivalent output.
2. Orchard Fruits
Application rate
1200 l/ha
Travel speed
4 km/hr
Row width
4.5 m
Spraying pressure
15 Bar
1200 x 4 x 4.5 = 36 l/min
600
If using all 10 nozzles (5/side) then each nozzle needs to apply 3.6 l/minute. From the HCC nozzle
chart above the HCC04 (Black) at 15 Bar pressure will give the desired output. An alternative would
be to use HCC05 (Blue) at 10 Bar pressure to give the equivalent output.
Total Application Rate (l/min) =
Application rate (l/ha) x Speed (km/hr) x Row width (m)
600
