SPISE Advice of Periodical inspection Granulate application equipment
Get PDFAll types of machines used for the application of pesticides must be inspected because of the EU SUD directive. Also machines used for applying solid shaped pesticides. This can be machines what apply the product in bands or machines designed to distribute the product in a broadcast way. This machines are yet not covered by the present EN or ISO standards, therefore SPISE has produced a SPISE Advice about the inspection of this type of machines. This SPISE Advice covers all relevant inspection point for this type of machines.All types of machines used for the application of pesticides must be inspected because of the EU SUD directive.

The future demand for an inspection of more advanced features on pesticide application equipment
Get PDFModern sprayers have a long list of advanced features, which are not proven in the in-use inspection. This optional equipment makes the application safer for the operator and the environment. But is it necessary to test these features if these are on the sprayer or is it enough to make a note in the inspection report. The presentation gives a short overview about some of the advanced solutions and rise questions what else could be required. The focus is here on horizontal boom sprayers as in this segment the more advanced pesticide application equipment (PAE) is used. But also bush and tree crop sprayer could use certain equipment. The presentation shows that there will be always a demand for adaptation of the EU directive and also the consultant work of the SPISE group is important for a safer crop care in the future.Modern sprayers have a long list of advanced features, which are not proven in the in-use inspection.

The effect of the type of sprayer bodies on the obtained coefficient of variation of sprayed liquid deposition
Get PDFIn this work, the study results of retention uniformity of sprayed liquid deposition obtained from three kinds of nozzles mounted in sprayer bodies of various constructions were presented. For the tests, a five-spray body with a rotation axis of a spigot parallel to the sprayed surface, a three-spray body with a retention axis perpendicular to the sprayed surface and one-spray body were used. Changes in individual spraying nozzles were done by three operators. It was stated that the biggest differences in repeatability and reproducibility of adjustments were noted for five-spray bodies, however, minimum changes not exceeding the value of one percentage point were noted for single bodies. For triple bodies repeatability of obtained CV regardless of mounted nozzles changed maximum up to 1,5 percentage point and reproducibility of measurement changed from 0,5 to 0,8 percentage point.In this work, the study results of retention uniformity of sprayed liquid deposition obtained from three kinds of nozzles mounted in sprayer bodies of various constructions were presented.
