Defender Booms Increase Safety
01-02-2006
The need for shrouded booms is being driven by spraying regulations, namely the prevention of pesticide contaminating water courses and the prevention of spray drift.
The Hardi Defender booms not only has LERAP 3 star rating but is the only boom on the market that has achieved 3 star rating using standard nozzles. This gives far more flexibility with the choice of chemicals that can be used, in that should a fine or medium spay quality be demanded and conditions are such that would not allow the use of a conventional sprayer the Defender can still be used.
A 3 star rated nozzle demands that it must achieve a 75% reduction of drift to that of an equivalent standard nozzle, this is achieved by creating coarser droplets ie:- Coarse or Very Coarse spray droplets.
The Defender has been tested to the equivalent of a 95% reduction of drift using both fine and medium spray quality nozzles.
Defender booms are available in 3 sizes – 1 metre, 4.5 metre and 6 metre widths.
The 1 metre units can be in the Self Contained format or hose feed using a conventional sprayer.
The 4.5 metre and 6 metre format gives a range from manual fold to either hydraulic of electronic fold.
