TADF Turbo Drop Dual Fan Nozzles

TADF and TADF-D

The TurboDrop Asymmetrical DualFan is a revolutionary air injection nozzle design that allows spraying the target two to four times in one pass. The 10 degree forward spray pattern makes slightly smaller droplets than the 50 degree rearward spray pattern. Set up in the standard orientation on the spray boom, the forward spray covers the front side of the target and the rearward spray covers the back side. If every other nozzles is mounted “backwards” on the boom, the result is four distinct spray patterns delivered to the target. The two outer patterns (with the larger droplets) help shield the two inner patterns (with smaller droplets) from the wind. By spraying forward, backwards and down, the TurboDrop DualFan achieves a unique balance of coverage, penetration and drift control not previously possible with any other spray nozzle.

In most sizes, the droplet spectrum is Medium-Coarse below 80 psi and Medium-Fine above 80 psi, making the DualFan nozzle extremely versatile. It can be used in drift-sensitive applications at 30-60+ psi and can be used for coverage-critical applications at 60-120 psi.

The D versions of the TurboDrop® nozzles were designed with dicamba, 2,4-D and glyphosate in mind, where a coarser spray is desirable. Between 30 and 90 psi, these nozzles deliver Ultra Coarse (UC), Extremely Coarse (XC), and Very Coarse (VC) droplets for maximum drift control. The air-energized droplets provide better coverage than solid liquid droplets of similar size by increasing the number of droplets in the spray, by accelerating the droplets into the canopy, and by improving the spreading dynamics of the droplets on impact. The D version of the TurboDrop® DualFan has the ability to cover the target from two to four angles of attack to further enhance chemical performance.

The D versions utilize larger pattern tips (without affecting the flow rate of the nozzle) to create bigger droplets. Due to the modular design, it is easy and inexpensive to convert from the standard TurboDrop® to the D version and vice versa, or even to convert from a standard TADF to TDXL-D.
