It deals with how tochoose and use the right nozzle forspecific applications, boom set-up,unfavourable weather conditions andmany more essential topics. It enablesgrowers to make informed decisionsabout how to increase their operationalflexibility without losing efficacy.Spraywise LogbookAn easy to use spray logbook forfarmers and cooperatives. Theapplicator can detail weather andgrowing conditions, location, mix-upand set-up details. Includes 50 pageswith double carbon copies, Spraywisenozzle chart, application guide, mixingguide and valuable tips to avoid drift.Low Pressure Air-Induction NozzlesLow pressure air-induction nozzles are the most popular nozzle type in Australia. Theyachieve a 80–90% drift reduction while operating best between only 3–5 bar. Generallythey produce a COARSE spray quality but with higher pressures a MEDIUM spray qualitycan also be achieved. That makes them to excellent all rounder nozzles. Until recently thistype of nozzle was only produced in poly material. However, the ALBUZ CVI opens upthe option to upgrade to durable pink ceramic in this class.NOZZLE TYPE AND DESCRIPTION SIZE RANGE, MATERIAL SPRAY ANGLE#1 SellerAirMix ®ALBUZ CVI 110°AIXR TeeJet ®• Air-induction nozzle• Recommended range: 3–5 bar• Protected air inlets• 80–90% drift reduction• Air-induction nozzle• Recommended range: 2.5–5 bar• Pink ceramic• High wear resistance• Air-induction nozzle• Flat-fan tapered type• 1–6 bar pressure range(manufacturer)• Croplands recommended range:3–5 bar• 90% drift reduction• **01 to 05 sizes• Polymer tip• 110°• **015 to 05 sizes• Ceramic tip• 110°• 015 to 06 sizes• Polymer tip• 110°CERAMIC3x as durableHigh Pressure Air-Induction NozzlesHigh pressure air-induction nozzles work best in the range of 4–8 bar and must beoperated above 3 bar. Compared to low-pressure air-induction nozzles they decrease theamount of driftable fines even further to 90–95%. At speeds of 25 km/h and above theyprovide more flexibility in retaining a constant spray quality at varying speeds. The orificematerial is generally made out of steel or even more durable ceramic.NOZZLE TYPE AND DESCRIPTION SIZE RANGE, MATERIAL SPRAY ANGLEBoomsprayCalibration GuideThe Boomspray Calibration Guideis a simple and effective doublesidedA3 guide with simple step-bystepinstructions assisting farmers tocorrectly calibrate their boom sprayer.AI TeeJet ®ALBUZ AVI• Air-induction nozzle• Flat-fan tapered type• 2–8 bar pressure range(manufacturer)• Croplands recommended range:4–8 bar• 90% drift reduction• High-pressure air-inductionnozzle, flat fan 110°• 3–8 bar pressure range• 90% drift reduction• Also available in 80°• 015 to 08 sizes• Stainless steel tip, polymer body• 110°CERAMIC3x as durable• Sizes 01 to 10 in 110°• 01 to 04 in 80°• Pink ceramic CERAMIC3x as durableTurboDrop ®• Air-induction nozzle – two piece• Fully ceramic• 4–8 bar pressure range• 95% drift reduction• **01 to 03 sizes• Ceramic tip• Ceramic injector• 110° (reduced angle at lower pressures)28
