Bedienungsanleitung - Regulating the drop size with AIRTEC

Regulating the drop size with AIRTEC

AIRTEC is a system for regulating the drop size on field sprayers. It adds compressed air to the spray mixture directly in the nozzle at a ratio calculated by the job computer.

Preconditions

Minimum equipment of the field sprayer:

▪: Nozzles with air support

▪: Air compressor: on the field sprayer or on the tractor.

Mode of operation

The job computer regulates the air pressure such that the drop size always remains constant. Even when the spray pressure changes.

Important:

For the system to be able to work optimally at the beginning of the field, the speed should be the same when switching off the sprayer at the end of the field as well as when switching on at the beginning of the field, and should correspond as closely as possible to the normal spraying speed.
