ANGLING OF AIR AND LIQUID

The main purpose of the TWIN angling system is to counteract for the negative influence which wind direction and driving speed have on the quality of the spray job. Further the ‘’co-angling’’ at air and liquid can help ‘’opening’’ dense crops for better penetration.

The TWIN FORCE air system can be set at any angle from 40° forward to 30° back (defined by air stream)

The air speed and angling must always be adjusted individually for each spray job and the given weather conditions.

It is always a good idea to get used to a new sprayer out in a field using only water in the tank.

On this occasion the following routine for air adjustment should be practised :

- Start with air vertical

- Set the air speed ...........

A

- Find the best angling .....

- Readjust the air .............

B

A

IMPORTANT ! Fine turning of air speed and angling will often be necessary all through the spraying job.

It is easiest to find the best air setting to reduce drift when the sun is low and behind the bom

(backlight)

These conditions make the drift more visible

A

A Setting of air speed, rules of thumb

Step 1

1-

Find the range of air speeds that can control drift :

Start with the air setting at zero and keep increasing the air speed just to the point where you

2-

3-

can see that the drift cloud is minimised - note minimum setting.

Then increase the air speed until you see drift again - note maximum setting.

Now you know the range of air speeds that can be used with minimum drift.

Bare ground / low

The range of air speeds is usually very small.

Taller crop

The taller the crop the wider the range of air speeds that can reduce drift.

At higher wind speeds

More air is needed on the sprayer and it is advisable to drive more slowly and use minimum boom height (40 cm)/(16 in).

NOTE : Too high air speed over bare ground/low crop can cause reflection of the spray liquid and leave dust on the leaves, which can again reduce the effect of the plant protection product.

CHAPTER

2- 21

ALPHA TWIN FORCE 3400-4100 HARDI NOVA

Step 2 : Set the optimal air speed within possible the range mentions above.

Conditions Air speed recommendations

Bare ground/ low crop : Use maximum air within the possible range

Taller crop : Deeper crop penetration requires more air on the sprayer (if you are in doubt check with water sensitive paper)

Forward speed :

Volume rate :

Higher forward speeds require more air on the sprayer

Lower volume rates require more air assistance to avoid drift

B

Angling of air and liquid, rules of thumb

To control wind drift the influence of wind speed and wind direction as well as the horizontal air current around the boom due to forward speed must be minimised. Because it is a sum of two forces with variable direction and size that we have to counteract for, the following can only be very rough guidelines.

NOTE ! Often it will be necessary to drive with two different anglings, so the angling is changed when changing driving direction after turning at the headland.

Wind direction Angle / air speed

Head wind :

Down wind :

Angle forward

Angle back (if the forward speed is higher than the wind speed : angle forward)

Side wind / No wind :

Crop condition

Bare ground : low vegetation

Angle vertical or back. Only high forward speeds may require forward angling.

Angle / air speed

Low air speed and angling back will often be the best setting to avoid

Dense crop: The angling feature is ideal to help opening the canopy and improve penetration. If you follow the crop movement as you are varying the angling you will find at certain settings the crop will open more for penetration

If wind speed, wind direction or for some reason forward speed changes during spraying the optimum angling is likely to change too. Be aware that with certain combinations of air speed and angling you can ‘’close’’ or flatten the crop and make penetration impossible - follow the crop movement intensively especially when setting the air assistance and keep an eye on the crop all through the application. NOTE !

It is most important that the sprayer operator is familiar with the above rules of thumb before using the TWIN sprayer.

All volume rates, pressures and air adjustments stated in the following tables are, of course, guidance. Special conditions regardings climate, crop quality, spraying time and applied chemical can change the procedure. The tables are show practice in northern Europ, and conditions may be very different in the other countries. If you want some local advice you are very welcome to contact the TWIN application expert at the HARDI importer or daughter company in your country.

The volume rate can generally be reduced to half of what is applied with a conventional sprayer, but with a minimum of 50-60 l/ha at 7-8 km/h. Exceptions are of course liquid fertiliser and herbicides whose selectivity is based large droplets that will only stick to the weeds

Low drift nozzles can also be fitted on a TWIN sprayer and help reduce drift even further.

If there is a detailed spraying instruction on the chemical label regarding drop size, spray pressure, spray volume rate etc. this should be followed. Enclose this one bag of water sensitive paper and instruction of how to use with all TWIN sprayers.

WATER SENSITIVE PAPER

USE WATER SENSITIVE PAPER TO HELP FIND THE BEST AIR SETTING. Some time spent in different types of crops with clean water in the tank and some water sensitive paper will be valuable experience for the future work with your TWIN sprayer. The paper can be cut into smaller pieces (to simulate the target) and fixed with double sided tape at relevant places in the crop.

Then spray with pure water and check the blue spots (droplets) on the paper. This way you can test different spraying techniques. Water sensitive paper is available at your local HARDI dealer, part No.893211

This chapter deals with the actions to be taken for the purpose of garaging the sprayer in the winter period. They must be followed scrupulously as the guarantee does not cover damage caused by freezing

6 - 1 O F F - S E A S O N S TO R AG E

- Protect the electrical components (alternator,branch box, connectors, regulating valve) from splashes of water.

- Clean the sprayer completely - inside and outside. Make sure that all valves, hoses and auxiliary equipment have been cleaned with detergent and flushed with clean water afterwards, so no chemical residue is left in the sprayer

- Renew possible damaged seals and repair possible leaks.

- Empty the sprayer completely and let the pump work for a few minutes. Operate all valvess and handles to drain as much water off the spraying circuit as possible. Let the pump run until air is coming out of all nozzles. Remember to drain the rinsing tank also.

- Pour 80 to100 litres of water with antifreeze into the main tank. See the antifreeze instructions to obtain sufficient protection from freezing.

- Spray for a few moments at the nozzles to protect the nozzles.

- Engage the pump and operate all valves and functions on the Manifold, operating , filler etc.

allowing the anti-freeze mixture to be distribued around the entire circuit. Open the operating unit main on/off valve and distribution valves so the anti-freeze is sprayed through the nozzles as well.

The anti-freeze will also prevent O-rings, seals, diaphragms etc. from drying out.

- Lubricate all lubricating points according to the lubricating scheme - regardless of intervals stated.

- When the sprayer is dry, remove rust from possible scratches or damages in the paint and touch up the paint.

- Remove the glycerine-filled pressure gauges and store them frost free in vertical position.

- Apply a thin layer of anti-corrosion oil on all metal parts. Avoid oil on rubber parts, hoses and tyres.

- All electric plugs and sockets are to be stored in a dry place. Remove the Hardi Nova control box and display from the cab and store them dry and clean (in-house).

- Apply grease on all hydraulic ram piston rods which are not fully retracted in the barrel to protect against corrosion.

- Chock up the wheels, to prevent moisture damage and deformation of the tyres.

- Fill up completely the fuel tank to prevent condensed water into the tank.

- Clean the engine air filter

- Cut the battery cut-off and disconnect the battery.

- Place the mobile unit under cover
