The AU5000 atomiser is precision engineered from proven chemical resistant materials and uses a rotating woven wire gauze cylinder to produce spray droplets. This technique ensures a narrow, controlled spectrum of droplet sizes for the most efficient and economical application of a wide range of chemicals.
The AU5000 atomiser is precision engineered from proven chemical resistant materials and uses a rotating woven wire gauze cylinder to produce spray droplets. This technique ensures a narrow, controlled spectrum of droplet sizes for the most efficient and economical application of a wide range of chemicals.
The atomiser is driven by the airflow past the aircraft by three highly efficient fan blades. These are adjustable in pitch, enabling the rotational speed to be varied as required. The size of the spray droplets is determined by the rotational speed of the gauze. The atomiser can, therefore, be set to produce the correct droplet size for a particular operation by a simple adjustment of the blade angle.
Versatile
Each atomiser can handle a flow of up to 23 litres/minute. This enables the same installation to be used for a wide range of output rates from ultra low volume (ULV) to conventional application at 20 – 50 litres/hectare. This wide flow range, combined with easily adjustable droplet size, enables an aircraft to be calibrated for almost any application technique in minutes. Whatever the application rate, the atomisers will always produce spray droplets of precisely controlled size for the most effective use of chemical under any conditions.
Simple installation
The light weight and low drag of AU5000 atomisers enables them to be fitted directly onto the standard spray booms of most agricultural aircraft without any structural modification. Alternatively, quick-change replacement boom kits are available for popular types of aircraft and special installation kits can be supplied for some non-agricultural types (eg Cessna 170/180 series). Between 6 – 12 AU5000 atomisers are recommended for most conventional spraying applications. Every atomiser is supplied with a complete installation kit including a mounting clamp, diaphragm check valve, variable restrictor unit (VRU) and all necessary hoses, fittings, etc. The mounting clamps supplied with AU5000 atomisers are available for a wide range of round and streamline section spray booms. All clamps incorporate a moulded rubber shock bush to absorb vibration from the boom or atomiser.
Precise flow control
The flow to each atomiser is controlled by a variable restrictor unit (VRU). This provides finger-tip control of the flow by the simple turn of a knob and eliminates the need to dismantle or change individual restrictor orifices. VRUs are supplied with fittings and adaptors for the standard nozzle outlets found on most booms. This eliminates the need for any special pipework or modification of the boom. Overall flow from the aircraft is regulated by the boom pressure in exactly the same way as a conventional spray system. The optional Micronair Application Monitor gives the pilot an accurate display of the actual application rate.
Positive shutoff
Every atomiser is supplied with a diaphragm check valve and a secondary shut-off inside the atomiser. This unique combination ensures an immediate and precise shut-off at the end of each spray run and eliminates the risk of chemical leakage on the ground.
Suitable for helipcopters
AU5000 atomisers are ideally suited for use on both fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters operating at speeds of 145 Km/Hr (90 MPH) and more. Special longer fan blades are supplied for speeds below 160 Km/Hr (100 MPH).
