Proptectm Rotary Atomization Spraying Systems
What is a Proptectm Atomizer?
-Precision Application
Proptec is a combination of two concepts:
1) Rotary Atomization, a process
where drops of spray are
expelled from the center of a
rotating hub, into a screen at
the perimeter of the atomizer,
where the high speed impact
pulverizes the drops into a
uniform spectrum of droplets,
similar to hitting a water
balloon with a tennis racket;
2) Even Penetration. As the
droplets form, they mix with a
highly turbulent airflow
generated by an axial fan that
is an integral part of the
atomizer's hub. The airflow is
directed into the foliage
canopy, where the turbulent air
ruffles the leaves, wrapping
around to reach the front and
back surfaces of the plant,
from the top leaves all the way
to the ground!
-Dependable, Flexible Performance
The Proptec Atomizer is a highly
reliable and flexible piece of equipment
Because rotary atornization does
not require nozzles, orifices
are not necessary and there are no
concerns about clogging or tip wear.
Proptec Sprayers typically apply
at rates from 2 to 25 gallons per acre,
but your atomizers have the ability
to apply at almost any rate- from ounces,
to over 100 gallons per acre!
Ground speeds range from 2 to 8 miles
per hour. The stainless steel, aluminum,
and chemical resistant polymer construction
means your Proptec heads will give you
economical, worry-free performance,
season after season. Propeller blades
come standard as variable-pitch, allowing
you to tailor airflow to the crop conditions.
Color-coded, pre-angled blades are also
available for users who want the security
of always knowing what pitch their blades
are at, at a glance
.
-Broad Range of Applications
The high, adjustable air flow, consistently
fine droplets, and ability to angle the heads
to any position, allow Proptec Atomizers
to adapt well to many difficult spraying tasks.
Proptec has proven itself in bushes,
vineyards, small citrus, cotton,
tomatoes, potatoes, celery, onions,
bush beans, carrots, ornamentals,
and a host of other crops. Because
Proptec Sprayers are generally
designed to spray in a horizontal
or downward orientation, Drift is reduced.
