New nozzle tech to see at Cereals 2018

[SimpersTradeCounter]

I have already posted this on Facebook and Instagram. So I’ll just paste it on here for those who aren’t on either

I probably shouldn’t be doing this but as everyone loves a good old chatter about nozzle tech etc here. BFS are launching a new up to 90% drift reduction nozzle at Cereals this year.

Achieve up to 90% drift reduction and cover a wider application rate (volume) from each nozzle size. Get the same rates of coverage you would normally need 3 nozzles to achieve.
The nozzles are available as either straight down or angled (30 degree) versions. ExRay XC nozzle features an extra, variable pre-orifice to achieve the ‘’Extended Range’’ of output, simply by varying the operating pressure.

Images to come later

But don’t tell anyone [emoji85]

As the word has got out I can also confirm that we are launching a new nozzle called PulZar for Pulse Width Modulation systems. As they say 'stay tuned for more information on both nozzle ranges'!!!!!

 

[Clive]

so instead on a 015, 02 and 025 etc are you saying that nozzle could cover the rates thoise 3 would give at correct pressure with just one nozzle ?

 

[Clive]

if I want to do 14kph at 100, 150 and 200 L/ha this does all that at the same optimum pressure ?

confused !

Hopefully this will be legible

For those flow rates with an 05 ExRay XC yes

 

[D14]

How much for Exray 04?

 

[Clive]

For those flow rates with an 05 ExRay XC yes

but at what pressure ? surely it cant maintain the same pressure regardless of flow rate ?

pressure is important re pattern and drift or is that no longer the case with these nozzles ?

 

[Lincsman]

I Think??? they work at the optimum under a wide range of pressures.

 

[SimpersTradeCounter]

The aim was to create a 90% drift reduction nozzle at medium quality all the way through the range. But apparently that was not achieved. The 90% drift reduction was a success however they are medium - coarse. More info on the stand at cereals. Oh and unofficially the price is likely to be around the £7.25 area.
But don't tell them I said anything ffs

Is that left as we look at it from the front?
Are those nozzles good for pre em and are the angled ones best facing forwards?
Also can nozzle filters be fitted with that cap taking room up?
Thanks

 

[SimpersTradeCounter]

No, nozzle filters will not be able to be used with these nozzles

 

[Sonoftheheir]

Do you do part ex?

These nozzles are very good and will be perfect for pre em according to all test data and trials

Errrrr No!

Has anyone used these exray xc nozzles?

I was about to get myself a set of new blue bubblejets for next year but these exrays don't seem a lot dearer and may cover a couple more bases. Any user experience?

Yes, I bought a set from @SimpersTradeCounter Very good drift reduction but they did put out a higher dose rate than the stated litres/minute. They were all doing this evenly so I just created a new profile in the spray computer to allow for this. @Billericay Farm services did offer to replace the whole lot FOC but we didn't take them up on it as we were happy enough with what we'd got. Good nozzles and good service

Do they give a reasonable coverage or are they similar to most drift reducing nozzles? (Without using high water rates)
