Atomiser
The atomiser is constructed from chemical resistant materials and its simple design
and robust construction will ensure many years of trouble-free performance provided
that it is not mistreated and is properly cleaned after use.
Every atomiser is dynamically balanced to ensure that it will run smoothly without
vibration.
Some products, particularly certain solids in suspension, can dry or
crystallise on the gauze, blocking the mesh and causing the atomiser to run out of
balance and vibrate. This can easily be avoided by selecting the flushing tank and
spraying 1 – 2 litres of kerosene or other suitable solvent through the atomiser at the
end of each spray job. Water will normally only dissolve water-based formulations,
whereas kerosene or diesel fuel is suitable for most ULV products.
The bearings of the atomiser are sealed and lubricated for life and should, therefore,
only be replaced if they become worn.
If it should be necessary to replace the bearings or any other part, the procedure to
dismantle an atomiser is as follows (numbers in brackets refer to items in the figure
below):
1.
If necessary, remove the sprayhead from the sprayer and remove the two
screws holding the front and rear casings together. Slide the atomiser securing
ring out of the casing.
2.
Remove the hose connector and atomiser securing nut and slide the atomiser
spindle from the support ring.
