Flat fan spray nozzles

I have a yellow plastic one on my backpack sprayer and I I think it must be getting worn as it's distorting the spray pattern more often.  I thought it might be an idea if I bought a few spares so I could change them on the run (or walk).  I've had a quick look on the net and seen several that look like mine.  Can someone (like Paul f'rinstance) tell me if they are a standard item or unique to manufacturer ?

Fanks,

Bigyin

  • They are standard but you must make sure you get one callibrated to your use. The nozzle will have a code on it, get one with the same code. It's down to the flow rate in litres/minute and width of spray at a set height (usually 0.5m).

     

    What are you applying? The standard nozzle for most of my uses (and many normal maintenance chemicals) is the green one, though some companies do this one in brown!

  • Thanks Dan.  I'll have a look tomorrow to see if I can see a code.  I'm applying Glyphosate diluted at 12ml/litre and applying at a rate of about 10L/1,000sqm.  I think it's probably a 110 deg fan.

  • Is this the sort of thing you mean

  • Yes Anthony.  It looks very much like that except it's yellow.

     

    Paul, I'll see if I have anything with amonia in.  The reason I wanted to find out if they're standard is that although I can probbly get them here, they might be more expensive than in UK (many things are) and if so, I'd get my lad to bring some over with him.  I'll take the old one with me to the suppliers and see if I can get a match.  I'm looking into the feasibility of making myself a boom sprayer to mount on the back of the van as doing the back hectare with the knapsack (10 refills) is a bit tiresome.

  • Just get them in mail order, you'll save a fortune!
  • Sorted !!  Found a little hardware shop in my local town (a bit like the old, pre blister pack days).  Two nozzles for 1 Euro (about 44p each).  Perhaps I should be exporting them to you guys ?
  • Tried one out yesterday.  What a difference.  Hadn't realised how worn the old one was and I get a greater area of coverage too.
  • do you use a deflector nozzle ??#
  • No Robin. I use a standard 110 degree.
  • Robin the clue is in the title :)  You really do need to get some sleep mate heh!
