CASE Dealers installing CARBON BEE, please listen up about the danger of using standard 110° nozzles with incorrect settings - Part 10.
To all Case Dealers installing CARBON BEE, I hope you will find this helpful.
The first thing to understand about how the CBEE determines which nozzles to activate is this. The CBEE will turn on nozzles where a weed appears in the footprint (spray width) of the nozzle as specified in the configuration settings.
Here is the configuration settings dialogue box.
It is important to ensure that the settings match the nozzles you are leaving on board with your customer.
As I see nearly every system is delivered with 110° nozzles, this chart from Sprayers101 will help you see just how wide a 110° nozzle is.
We do not account for 110° nozzles in our Apps as we recommend only narrower angles for single spot (isolated nozzle) operations.
If the 110° nozzles are configured correctly, you should always see at least three nozzle engage!
Since they are typically SR or MR11004's that would be delivering the correct overlapping rate of around the desired 100 l/ha.
The take home message is, that if your customers are actually able to have isolated nozzle engagements with 110° nozzles which are delivering very low (sub 30 l/ha) rates individually, the settings need to be looked at ASAP.
Alternatively, I invite you to check out the App we have created for Carbon Bee Dealers and users at at App Central where you can select from a suitable range of 40°, 60° and 80° purpose designed single spot spraying nozzles.
The App for Carbon BEE installers and operators will also provide the inputs you need for the Custom Nozzle Configuration.
I hope you will find this information useful. If you wish to discuss this and spot spraying nozzle options please feel free to call me anytime.
