Fine-Tuning Flow: Droplet size and application rate get TeeJet's focus

摘要

New products from Teejet Technologies can help dealers' customers optimize spraying by controlling factors such as droplet size, application rate and nozzle shutoff. Among them is the Sentry 6120 Droglet Size Monitor. "It's a great piece of equipment for the average farmer," says Tim Stuenkel, marketing manager. "You can retrofit to a current or new sprayer. With the use of a pressure transducer and a simple console, the user can enter in his tip series and size, and based on the pressure, it can give the real time readout of the droplet size being produced. Typically, based upon the chemical, you want to stay within a certain range of droplet sizes. This allows them to do a better job of putting out the chemical without either too much drift or poor coverage on the plants."
