"Every component is vital to the functionality and efficiency of the sprayer delivery system, ensuring precise and effective liquid application for its intended use."
The Patternator consultation
​Sprayer Testing NZ is committed to using advanced and precise
technologies to ensure the accuracy of chemical application.
The patternator by Aams is a versatile test device that measures the vertical spray distribution from the sprayers used in orchards and vineyards.
Different shapes and sizes of plants require different settings of airblast sprayers, which can vary depending on many factors.
A sprayer specialist will visit your premises and determine your sprayer needs. Then they will adjust your sprayer to target the specific area of the tree or vine.
This service can be booked together with the sprayer test.
We recommend booking a couple of times throughout the season to ensure sprayer efficency throughout the season.
We will come out to your premises to ensure we take into account all the various factors to set up the sprayer for target precision.
This service is partically recommded to reduce the risk of spray drift and crop damage.
Coverage monitoring
​Paper testing for sprayer coverage, particularly in vineyards and orchards, involves using water-sensitive paper to evaluate the effectiveness and uniformity of spray applications. This method provides a visual representation of how well a spray is distributed over a target area, helping to optimize pesticide and nutrient applications.
providing immediate feedback on the coverage achieved during spraying.
​
​
-
Spray Coverage Assessment: By placing water-sensitive paper at various locations within the vineyard canopy, we can determine the extent and uniformity of spray coverage. This is crucial for ensuring that pesticides and nutrients reach all parts of the vines effectively
-
Droplet Size and Distribution: The paper helps visualize droplet size and distribution, which are critical for effective pest/disease control. Proper droplet size ensures adequate coverage without excessive drift, which can lead to environmental contamination or ineffective pest control.
-
Calibration of Sprayers: Using water-sensitive paper allows us to validate the calibration of sprayers accurately. By analyzing the pattern and density of droplets on the paper, adjustments can be made to nozzle types, spray pressure, and travel speed to improve application efficiency
-
Avoiding Over- or Under-Dosing: Paper testing helps identify areas that may be receiving too much or too little spray, allowing for adjustments to prevent wasteful over-application or ineffective under-application
Allow us remove the guesswork from your sprayer coverage for complete peace of mind.​
