General Information &
Specifications
The SuperFlow Mobile Hopper is an alternative
method of transferring chemical into the
main spray tank. The chemical can either be
in liquid form or granular form and once in
the hopper the chemical can then be easily
transferred into the main spray tank. The
hopper facilitates drum rinsing with fresh water
and the hopper itself can be rinsed and all
rinsate then transferred into the tank.
The hopper transfers the chemical via venturi
effect. Water from an external supply is
pumped under the bottom of the hopper
where it passes through a venturi fitting under
the hopper. This causes a suction effect and
when the bottom of the hopper is open (via
the hopper tank ball valve) the tank contents
are drawn into the flow from the pump passing
under the hopper and then transferred into
the main spray tank. This eliminates chemical
attack resulting from high concentrations
of chemical coming into contact with spray
components.
NOTE:
The level indicator should be used as a
guide only.
NOTE:
Never let the hopper run empty or suck
air, this may cause foaming in the main tank.
Know Your Sprayer
Getting to know your sprayer prior to operation
is crucial in the safe and efficient operation
of this equipment. Take the time to familiarise
yourself with all the standard and optional
components fitted to your sprayer, not only do
you need to know where key components are
located on your machine you need to become
competent in the correct operation of these
components prior to spraying operation.
It is also important to become familiar with
common spraying methods and common
spraying terms prior to using this sprayer for
the first time
Chassis
The chassis is an all steel construction. The
chassis is shot blasted, primed and then
protected by the Goldacres paint process for
excellent chemical resistance and durability.
Tank
All tanks are constructed from UV resistant
polyethylene. Polyethylene tanks have a very
high chemical resistance.
Due to the rotomoulding process, there can be
a variance in the overall dimensions of the tank
which in turn results in variations to the tank
capacity. For this reason, calibration markings
should be used as a guide only.
Paint Colours
Steel work: G13 Dark Green
Hopper Tank
Always flush hopper with clean water after
every use. Prolonged chemical contact can
severely damage valves and seals.
Do not leave water in hopper if sprayer is to
be left in a cold environment. The water may
freeze and cause damage to the system when
connected. Empty hopper of all water and
cover the pump to ensure this situation does
not arise. If this has not been done, and there
is a possibility there may be frozen water in the
hopper, wait until any ice has thawed before
connecting to pump.
Machine limitations
All Goldacres equipment is subject to
operating limitations, it is the operator’s
responsibility to ensure that this equipment
is being operated within these limitations and
appropriately to the operating conditions at
hand.
