New Project: Boom Sprayer

We are designing a Boom Sprayer for a farm in Cambodia. They are planting peanuts at the farm.

We managed to find a flat spray nozzle with 120 degree fan (Model: NF06) that can generate the required mist spray for the boom sprayer. We tested the nozzle to see the effective spray actions. The results are promising.

The specifications of the Fan Nozzle are as follows:

Design Features

• One-piece material construction, AcetalNo internal parts
• Size - 1/4" Male NPT
• Model: NF06 with equivalent orifice diameter 1.57 mm

Spray Characteristics

• High impact
• Uniform distribution with tapered edges for overlapping sprays
• Spray Angles 120°
• Spray pattern: Fan Jet
• Spray angles: 120°
• Flow rates:  1.93 litres per minute @ 2 Bar

Next, we have determine the separation between the nozzles to be 90 cm apart based on the Spray Angle of 120° at about 0.5m above ground so that there is minimum overlap in spraying action between nozzles.

Tubing Joints Accessories

The different joints are available for 1/2 and 3/8 inch tube sizes.

We intend to use a Tractor below to tow the Boom Sprayer for watering the plants.

Below are all the components fabricated for the Boom Sprayer assembled in parts and ready for shipment to Cambodia.

The Boom Sprayer is assembled and functionally tested before shipment.

The Boom Sprayer components are dismantled and shipped in a container to Cambodia.

The components arrived safely in Cambodia.

They are re-assembled and tested working. Praise the Lord!
