NIK service specialists advise: How to choose nozzles for our sprayer correctly?

As the spring campaign progresses, agricultural machinery must be in full working order to cope with the busy period for farmers. An invariable part of field work is the spraying of crops. It is especially important after wintering the sprayer, to prepare the machine for operation, taking advantage of its full capacity. Nozzles are the most important part of any sprayer. Here's what NIK service specialists advise on how to choose the right nozzles for our machine.

Nozzles are the smallest and at the same time the most neglected parts of the equipment of any sprayer. It is they who have the greatest effect on the final product and result of any culture. The right choice of nozzles is key for farmers who want to increase the efficiency of spraying and processing each crop. Today, a large assortment of nozzles for sprayers is available on the market.

NIK service specialists advise before stopping on a particular model of nozzles, to determine the purpose of processing, the features of the terrain and the mode of impact of the preparation that you will use. Of particular importance are also the environmental conditions, as well as the characteristics and capabilities of the sprayer. And more — in order to achieve the best chemical results of each preparation, the nozzle with the appropriate inclination and type of spray must be selected correctly.

How do I choose the right nozzles for my farm?

70 percent of the yield depends on the serviceability and the efficiency of the sprayer. It is also important to know that the quality of spraying is determined precisely by the correct choice of nozzles and their serviceability.

The use of old and worn nozzles leads to the loss of 30 to 50% of imported preparations. In this regard, our service specialists recommend:

— Change the nozzles of the sprayer regularly, at least at the beginning of each season. And with intensive work — several times a season;

— Do not exceed the operating speed of the sprayer. Study well the technical parameters of the nozzles and adapt them to the capabilities of your machine. Anything above the permissible maximum leads to a decrease in the quality of spraying;

— Work with the recommended norms of the working solution;

— Monitor the performance of your machine. If necessary, even keep a diary of the work done in the field and the amount of rework spent and the planned one. With the help of Trimble and Berthoud systems, this can be done in real time and detect possible problems.

Our specialists also advise you to choose the most suitable sets and types of nozzles, both for working with different preparations and for different crops. You should also be aware of whether you need high rate nozzles or low rate nozzles. See what solutions the NIK service team chose.
