Construction and function of the field sprayer
BAG0166.5 12.18
6.7 Filter equipment
• Use all the filters provided with the filter equipment. Clean the
filters regularly (refer to the "Cleaning" section, page 188). Fault-
free field sprayer operation can only be achieved by correct fil-
tering of the spray liquid. Correct filtering has a significant effect
on the success of the crop protection measures.
•
Pay attention to the permissible combinations of filters and mesh
sizes. The mesh sizes for the self cleaning pressure filter and
the nozzle filters must always be smaller than the nozzle open-
ing of the nozzles in question.
•
Ensure that the use of pressure filter inserts with 80 or 100 mesh
/ inch for some crop protection agents can filter out active
agents. In individual cases, enquire with crop protection agent
manufacturers.
