Just one example of usage
CFValve™
The Houston District of the Texas Department of
Transportation currently outfits their herbicide spray trucks with the
CFValve™
The CFValve™ allows policy makers, vegetation
managers, maintenance managers and spray truck operators to come to an
excellent accord when attempting to satisfy the public concern with aesthetic
appeal on one hand and safety concerns regarding chemical application on the
other.

Texas spray truck operators are faced with the issue of
needing to vary their pressure input in order to spray different areas of
embankments on the sides of main highways. They may need to spray at 70psi to
reach the top, and at 30 psi to spray areas closer to the road.
At the same time, the input pressure to lower nozzles along
the front of the truck, which spray herbicide into the cracks and along curbs
and gutter, would vary. When the input pressure is running at 70psi, increased
flow rates and many fines prone to drift would be generated, resulting in
unnecessary over-deposition, wasted chemical and environmental damage.

In the picture of the TX DOT truck the Blue 2.0BAR(29psi)
CFValve™ allows spray truck operators to vary input pressure in order to
spray herbicides onto the embankment Whether they run the pump at 70psi or
30psi, they can be assured the flow rate, spray pattern and droplet spectrum
remains consistently at the preset 29psi pressure. |

The picture shows two off center 08 nozzles angled away from
each other. The CFValve™ maintains the spray pattern and flow rate
constant to allow consistency in application of RoundUp® simultaneously to
curbs and gutters.
Knowing exactly the amount of chemical deposited and having
the ability to calibrate equipment precisely is very important, particularly
when an organization is constantly under watchful eyes of the EPA, Department
of Agriculture and the public. |
