Crop sprayer spray patternator 0666040

for spray nozzles

Mechanically measuring liquid distribution under the spray boom Even though all nozzles can individually demonstrate a perfect flow, this doesn't mean that they do present a good distribution (overlap). With the patternator it is possible to determine whether the distribution along the length of the full boom is as expected. If not, it will be necessary to adjust (by changing some nozzles for example) until the right distribution pattern is achieved. To determine the distribution, the spray boom has to be positioned above the patternator at normal spraying height. Once the liquid is flowing through the gutters, the measuring glasses are tilted underneath the gutters to collect the liquid for a certain time frame. Then, the content of the glasses can be read or compared in order to evaluate the liquid distribution underneath the spray boom. .Working width of one module is 240 cm and the measuring depth is 188 cm. .Each gutter is 10 cm wide. .The measuring glasses have a content of 500 ml and a scale of 10 ml. .If required, it is possible to place several patternators next to one another to create a wider spray table. .The materials used are robust and resistent against residues of crop protection chemicals. .The patternator consists of light and compact segments to make transportation and storage easier. .The patternator is of highly educational value. .In the bottom, wheels are provided for moving the spraying table around with ease. .The horizontal patternator of AAMS is being used within official testing systems to test sprayers while in use.
