Sprayer Nozzles

[Jinty Mcginty]

Hi looking for a new set of Nozzles for windy conditions primarily for tattie job
Narrowed it down to 3 candidates
Lechler IDTA
Syngenta 3D Ninety
Arag ATC Twin air
Any thoughts or experience in real world conditions for any of these
Thanks

No experience of either, sorry.
What will they do that an 04 Bubble Jet won't?

Don't think they have as much drift reduction as the aforementioned ones which is critical for my part of the world where ideal spraying days you can count on one hand
Also are they ceramic as need to put up with a lot of abrasive powders etc

Happy with Lechlers here.

couldn't fault the lechlers when i was spraying. a lot of powders went through them and they still tested fine after a few years.

Mine are ceramic tips so hopefully last a while.

Was on lechler idk’s but wasn’t overly happy with the job so switched to idta’s. Cracking job they do, wouldn’t switch back and think you’d struggle to find a better nozzle just now.

they will, biggest threat to them is accidental damage.

I would defo agree with that
the syngenta 3D 90 looks like it would not take a lot of abuse if the boom was on rough tramlines

i wouldn't worry about the lechlers, they are quite tough. it takes a serious wallop on something hard (not soil) to damage them.

The lechlars are pretty tough havnt Brocken any of mine yet but the 3ds i had before had quite afew snapped off even had an incident with a branch on the road knocked off 10 nozzle bodies but when i gathered them up took the 10 lechlar nozzles off an they all went back on

Ceramic Lechler IDTA

Use idta but have to put 6 idk behind the machine when crops get taller or else forward jet sprays the back frame and mudgaurds.

Looking ahead to next year's cereal fungicide job, I'm probably going to be using plenty of powdered sulphur.
My 03 Guardian Airs would just about handle it last year if the mixture was fresh but after any settling there would be lots of blockages.
Generally running at 3 bar, 13k, 100L/ha
So I'm looking for an air induction nozzle that can handle poor mixture quality or is at least easy to clean, and preferably a spray pattern better than a chav spitting at a policeman.
I see IDTAs like to run nearer 4 bar so I'd be looking at an 025. Too small? Bonus is it looks like they come apart easily for cleaning.
