1.4.2 DESCRIPTION
The Fan air sprayers are popular: the liquid is brought out of the tank, using a pump to the
nozzle where it is hit by a strong air current speed produced by a fan (centrifugal or axial).
For optimal spraying the air flow should be smoothed e.g. against-propellers or conveyors.
The quantity of product depends on the number and extent of the nozzles.
In this way it will reach a diameter of droplets between 100 and 300 microns.
The machine consists of:
-Mounted Frame to connecting to the tractor rear lifting arms (for mounted unit models ).
-Frame with drawbar to connecting the rear hitch of the tractor (for trailed models).
-Main polyethylene Tank (4.1.1)
-Polyethylene system washing tank (4.1.2)
-Polyethylene hand-washing tank (4.1.3)
-Suction Filter (4.1.4)
-Pump (4.1.5)
-High pressure Filter (only trailed Models) (4.1.6)
-Control unit (Par 4.1.9)
-Nozzles (Par 4.1.10)
-Axial or centrifugal impeller (4.2)
1.5 STORAGE
If the machine is stored for long periods it is necessary to store it in a place protected
against atmospheric agents and protect it to avoid damage.
Verify that the storage temperature is between 0° C and 50°c.
Do not place the machine on the ground sloped or excessively saggy.
The machine is designed to be parked safely on compact soil with slopes of up to 8.5°.
In order to prepare the machine for the storage it is necessary to proceed to a thorough
cleaning of the tank and hydraulic circuit with the same procedure used at the end of
treatment..
In addition , it
’s necessary to:
completely empty the water circuit to avoid damage caused by frost.
Mix with clean water a liquid anti-freeze to protect not only the pump but also all
components in contact with the liquid (command groups, Jet holder and filters).
Remove and clean the filters and nozzles which must be kept in a secure
environment by weathering.
cancel the pressure inside the hydro-pneumatic compensator of the pump
Grease the moving metal parts.
Repaint all surfaces that could rust, where necessary..
place the machine in a ventilated place sheltered from rain and Sun..
