The atomiser can, therefore, be set to produce the correct droplet size for a particular operation by a simple adjustment of the blade angle. This wide flow range, combined with easily adjustable droplet size, enables an aircraft to be calibrated for almost any application technique in minutes. Whatever the application rate, the atomisers will always produce spray droplets of precisely controlled size for the most effective use of chemical under any conditions. The light weight and low drag of AU5000 atomisers enables them to be fitted directly onto the standard spray booms of most agricultural aircraft without any structural modification. The mounting clamps supplied with AU5000 atomisers are available for a wide range of round and streamline section spray booms.
All clamps incorporate a moulded rubber shock bush to absorb vibration from the boom or atomiser.
This provides finger-tip control of the flow by the simple turn of a knob and eliminates the need to dismantle or change individual restrictor orifices. VRUs are supplied with fittings and adaptors for the standard nozzle outlets found on most booms. This eliminates the need for any special pipework or modification of the boom. Overall flow from the aircraft is regulated by the boom pressure in exactly the same way as a conventional spray system. The optional Micronair Application Monitor gives the pilot an accurate display of the actual application rate.
