The most cost-effective investment in<br />
reducing drift and waste, Air Bubble<br />
Jets are the nozzle preference for golf<br />
course greenkeepers, groundsmen<br />
and landscapers<br />
WHY Air Bubble Jets<br />
❚ Maximum spray contact, minimum spray drift – reduces spray drift by 75%*<br />
❚ Produces superior coverage – more consistent droplet size<br />
❚ Less affected by wind – provides more spraying day opportunities<br />
❚ Offers wide range of sizes – provides flexible application rates<br />
❚ Less than 2% driftable droplets (100 microns) – compared to 20% conventional nozzles<br />
❚ Fits any standard nozzle holders – easy to fit, clean and remove<br />
❚ Used in a wide range of situations – excellent at low water rates<br />
❚ Top ✰✰✰ LERAP award allows category B chemicals to be sprayed within one metre<br />
of a water course<br />
The BFS Air Bubble Jet has a 15-year proven record and is the number<br />
one low drift nozzle used by UK farmers and growers.<br />
How do they work?<br />
Air Bubble Jets are specially designed spray nozzles (tips) that produce<br />
a narrow range of spray droplets containing air bubbles that are<br />
designed to minimize spray drift and optimize product efficacy.<br />
Why use them?<br />
Spray drift is a serious economic, environmental and safety problem.<br />
Using BFS Air Bubble Jets, the spray, containing a mixture of air and<br />
liquid, reduces spray drift and ensures more even leaf coverage to<br />
achieve enhanced chemical efficacy.<br />
How are they used?<br />
Simply fitted to a standard nozzle body on the boom of any sprayer<br />
the optimum operating pressure is between 2-4.5 bar with an overall<br />
range of 1.5-6 bar.<br />
What jets are available?<br />
The full range includes: 01; 0.15; 0.2; 0.25; 0.3; 0.35; 0.4; 0.5; 0.6 and 0.8.<br />
All the jets are ISO colour coded so if a conventional yellow 02 nozzle is<br />
currently used, just substitute it with a yellow 02 Air Bubble Jet.<br />
Who make Air Bubble Jets?<br />
Air Bubble Jets are the invention of Billericay Farm Services, a leading<br />
company in spray technology. They are designed and manufactured<br />
in the United Kingdom and are exclusively marketed by <strong>Rigby</strong> <strong>Taylor</strong> to<br />
the UK Amenity industry.<br />
Inside the<br />
Air Bubble Jet<br />
A mixture of air and liquid is<br />
drawn in and compressed and<br />
then sprayed out through<br />
specially designed fan jets. The<br />
droplets that are produced<br />
contain air bubbles which<br />
collapse on contact with the<br />
grass blade and spread evenly<br />
across the surface. The liquid<br />
being sprayed passes through a<br />
removable tapered nozzle A<br />
which accelerates the liquid and<br />
projects the flow into the tapered<br />
opening of the venturi B. This<br />
creates a vacuum that causes<br />
air to be sucked in through the<br />
slots marked C.<br />
The mixture of air and liquid is<br />
compressed as it passes through<br />
the mixing chamber D and is<br />
then sprayed through the fan<br />
nozzle E.<br />
