It’s known the frequent formation of algae within the main tank of the machine, especially, with the Micro dosing system, which involves the use of fresh water in the tank, i.e. without the addition of formulations.
TIFONE has developed tanks with a special shade of green, called "No-Algae Green", preventing the passage of the range of light frequencies more conducive to the formation of algae.

What is it?
The orientation emission angle of the nozzles.
In the TIFONE Flexigun Air Cannons angle has a tangential direction toward air stream.

What are the advantages?
Ensures a uniform distribution of the droplets in the aerodynamic flow of the Cannon and a more uniform "spray coverage" with the minimum amount of mixture per surface unit.

What is it?
It's a device to block the release and the dropping of spray nozzle, immediately after feeding is closed. There are several types of anti drip valves applied to the nozzles:

1. Diaphragm type. It's the most common type. Has the disadvantage of a large encumbrance that, with nozzles located in the airflow stream, determines great turbulence and consequent lack of uniformity of distribution of the spray mist. Furthermore, the system determines a certain pressure drop in the spraying circuit.
2. Piston type. This system presents no encumbrance in the nozzle holder body as piston body simply replaces the feeding screw, which is completely external. Has the advantage of not producing any pressure drop in the spraying circuit, as once opened, the piston is totally external to the flow path.
3. Ball type, stainless steel. It has the advantage of instant shut-off and ease. Also, does not cause any encumbrance external to the body of the nozzle as the ball system, is totally contained in the stem itself, with the advantage that it can be placed even in the air flow stream, without producing additional turbulence (TIFONE Pat.)

What is it?
Anti-drip system that automatically creates a vacuum in the circuit of the nozzle feeding line at any interruption or stop spraying, preventing any nozzle dripping (TIFONE Pat.)

What are the advantages?
Producing an effect of depression in the nozzles circuit with no mechanical parts, for which it has unlimited duration, without any maintenance.

Why is it not used on all machines?
Most of the machines for the Pest and Vector Control are also equipped with a Micro dosing pump, whereby the flow sucked back goes into the spray tank, so contaminating the clean water, which is the basis for the different spraying with specific formulation.

What is it?
It 's a security alarm to prevent accidents to persons in reverse driving.

What are the advantages?
Mountable on any pick-up for the Pest and Vector Control.

What is it?
The Autofilter is a Unique, Fully Automatic - Self-Cleaning Pressure Filter.

How does it work?
The Autofilter, unlike usual filters, "it does not hold" the debris and solids, but it is acting as a barrier separating the debris and the spray feeding line. With Autofilter, the debris are not drawn to seek to pass through the filter cartridge, but they are immediately flowed back to the tank. Where, however, they can not arrive intact as, at the passage through the narrow by-pass valve of the Telecontrol (TIFONE Pressure Regulator), all debris and solid bodies are instantly pulverized by the pressure and the high speed of the return flow in that point.

The advantages?
We repeat:
The Autofilter is a Unique, fully automatic self-cleaning filter = therefore constantly clean and free.
The Autofilter does not get dirty or clogs ever. EVER.
The Autofilter, therefore, has never to be cleaned.
The Autofilter protects the nozzles in an absolute way.

Where is it placed in the machine?
The Autofilter is integrated into the Telecontrol Exact, the TIFONE Pressure Regulator.
The Autofilter is standard equipment on all TIFONE Cannon Sprayers The Autofilter is a TIFONE intellectual property since 1980.

What is it?
It's a site with a Spray Patternator that is a large Vertical testing wall, with a series of capturing profiles, placed at different heights and capturing the spray mist emitted by the Air Sprayer.
The captured spray mist is collected in a series of tubular transparent metering containers.
The Spray Patternator is present at different authorized Centres.
TIFONE is the only one Manufacturer disposing of its on Wall Spray Patternator as described above, since year the 1978.

What is it useful for?
It is a very good instrument to verify the operational characteristics of the Air Sprayers, which are evaluated according to several parameters such as: continuity and uniformity of distribution, drift control.

Spraying by Cannon is requiring a continuous precise pointing, then the presence of a dedicated operator, in addition to the driver of the vehicle. In order to eliminate the cost resulting from the second operator, the TIFONE Camera + 7” Monitor solution provides, a very useful and really profitable small investment. An Industrial Camera, perfectly watertight and shock-proof up to 10G providing a perfectly view also by night, is applied directly to the mouth of the cannon, with adequate impact-resistant protection, while the Monitor is applied on the dashboard of the vehicle, in front of the driver.

The advantages?
The system Camera + Monitor allows a perfect "direct visual", even at night spraying and allows easy precise instant "pointing" of the Cannon toward any area and under any angle, with a continuous, clear visual inspection of the spraying work. In fact, the Camera continuously takes up the area targeted by the cannon, with large amplitude (wide-angle effect), and with great depth of field. The colour Monitor, of considerable size (7"), and high-definition, with anti-glare screen, and with any adjustment necessary for a good vision (contrast, brightness, intensity, dimming day - night) and of rear view mirror. The TIFONE Camera + 7” Monitor System then allows the driver to the same precise pointing of the cannon live - visual for controlled spraying, and the final elimination of the necessity of the second operator. TIFONE Camera + 7” Monitor system is available for all TIFONE Cannon Sprayers.

What is it?
It is the actual capacity of the spray tank.
By law, the Real tank capacity of Air Sprayer must be between 5% and 10% higher than the Nominal capacity.

What is it?
It is the tank capacity declared and used in practice.

It is the amount of air delivered by the fan. It is expressed in cubic meters / hour (m³ / h).

It is the amount of fluid delivered by the pump.
It is expressed in litres / minute.
In the TIFONE Cannon Sprayers, Citizen an City lines it is generally of 55 litres / min, which would ensure the supply of Cannon, Hand Lance and the Mixers.

What are those?
Channel guides for forklift coupling and quick loading and unloading of the machine from the pick-up.
Typical solution is the one adopted in the TIFONE "City-320-ecology" and “City-500 ecology” where, guides are also points of a quick "lock-unlock" on/from the bed of the pick-up (only 30 sec.!)

What is it?
It's a circuit plant complete with fresh water tank and a 3-way selecting valve, for the washing of the entire circuit of the machine (tank, pump, filters, hoses, nozzles...) every day, after use. A standard on all TIFONE machines.

What is it?
The circuit-washing plant is a built-in facility, which allows automatic washing of all components elements constituting the spraying circuit after any utilization of the Cannon Sprayer.

Useful for what?
It will grant the machine to be in the best condition, ready to spray any time next. Even after a long pause.
The spraying circuit washing, considerably extends the life of the machine, avoids possible problems at work, and greatly reduces the cost of maintenance and repair.

How is it done?
The Washing of the circuit of the machine after every use, eliminates residue of pesticide mixture, avoiding sedimentation in the spraying circuit, preventing aggression to all rubber parts of the machine and the full circuit (Pump, filters, diaphragms, gaskets, hoses, nozzles, tank, etc.) and also will prevent any pesticide sedimentation in the tank bottom.
The Circuit Washing operation is done like this:

1. Before you start the machine for spraying, always fill up the Washing tank with clean water, first.
2. After your spraying job, - the Spray tank already empty and the - Air sprayer still running and - Spray valve still Open, - shift the intake selecting valve from SPRAY position to WASH. Now the pump will suck from the Washing tank and will discharge through the spraying circuit and in the spray tank. Let the Air-sprayer running and spraying till the Washing tank is empty. This way, the entire spraying circuit and tank will be washed and out of any chemical risk.
3. Once totally sucked the clean water from the Washing tank, return the intake-selecting valve from WASH position back to SPRAY.

The Circuit washing is a very important function in modern sprayers. It allows the instantaneous washing of the entire spraying circuit of the machine, from the tank up to the nozzles (tank, pump, filters, hoses and nozzles), thereby ensuring a ready operation at each new use of the machine and a duration multiplied. The Circuit Washing function is standard on all TIFONE equipment.

When the Spray tank is EMPTY, the washing will be integral, and will be made as described above with only variation that

• Pressure will be adjusted at 15 bar as normally, when spraying
• Engine will run at mid gas, not less.
• So the entire circuit, including pump will be washed: pump, filters, manifolds and nozzles as well as the interior of the tank.

Let the Air-sprayer running and spraying till the Washing tank is empty.

When the tank is NOT EMPTY and still contains some Spray Mixture we do not want to dilute, the Circuit Washing may be limited to the real spray circuit only: Pump, filters, piping, manifolds and nozzles, but excluding the spray tank.
To this end, act as follows:

• Turn the Pressure Regulator to the Maximum Pressure (red knob totally clockwise),
• Open the valve feeding the spraying nozzles,
• Start the engine of air sprayer and let it run at low speed.

At idle speed, the pump produces a very limited delivery, always enough to assure the Circuit washing, but without producing excess capacity, therefore, without discharging water back into the tank. In fact, the pressure, adjusted at the maximum, will force the entire flow produced by the pump to flow out through the nozzles, without any return to the tank.
Let the Air-sprayer running and spraying till the Washing tank is empty.

What is it?

Important feature required in the Pressure regulators, in order to ensure a good adjustment and maintenance of a positive effective spray capability of the machine, then the volume / hectare, for which the machine has been adjusted. Pressure Regulators found only on the quality and precision. Excellent, the Telecontrol Autofilter Exact by TIFONE.

What is it?
It’s an electrical system, high voltage and very low intensity, deputed to transmit a positive electrical charge (+) to the single droplets forming the spray mist cloud.

Why? The theme of the Pest and Vector Control, it is becoming increasingly important for the growing need to achieve more advanced objectives, including:

1. Increased effectiveness of spraying interventions,
2. Reduction of number of interventions,
3. Reduction of losses due to aerial drift,
4. Reduction of losses due to dripping to the ground,
5. Reduction of pesticide charge per hectare,
6. Reduction of energy consumption (fuel),
7. Reduction of working time.

These objectives are all of a high interest and more and more weight and attention, both for the Protection of the Environment and, not least, for Business Economics. In order to optimize the spraying in the required directions, TIFONE has carefully re-studied the technique of "Electrostatic Charge", as applied to pesticide spraying. Thus, by using new technologies and new aerodynamic attention, TIFONE has come to develop innovative solutions significantly more effective, compared with the state of the art. Today, spraying assisted by TIFONE Electrostatic Charge (E±S+), New Generation, is assuring Relevant and Visible Results.

As mentioned, the Electrostatic Charge is based on the applying of an Electrostatic Charge, Positive (+) to the droplets forming the spray mist cloud, launched by the cannon of the Air sprayer. An optimal use of the notion of Control requires, however, the optimization of the conditions of release and permeation features of the Chamber of Control of the mouthpiece and the conditions of "protection" and "guidance" of the spray mist, "Electro-loaded" and to be launched. The new TIFONE Electrostatic system: the ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE (E± S+) is based on the development of an innovative Cannon mouthpiece and of a Tripod Polarizer, both specifically designed to operate in a synergistic way. This New system, Electrostatic Charge ( E ± S + ), can be summarized as granting:

1. Reduced losses by air drift,
2. Increased Windproof,
3. Wider spray Distribution, 
4. Increased spray Range.

What are the advantages?
The Air Spraying assisted by TIFONE ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE (E±S+), is more complete, even in the areas less directly exposed to the Cannon. Moreover, the TIFONE ( E ± S + ) Charge strongly reduces the losses to drift air and drip to the ground. Phenomenon that can be seen even through simple visual observation. In addition, TIFONE (E±S+) is resulting highly synergic when spraying “Low Volume”, and “Ultra Low Volume” (ULV), where it allows a positive spray coverage with a drastic reduction of the volume of spray mist required for unitary surface, with a saving of spray mixture and formulated, even up to 50 %. The economic saving, is the direct result of:

• The Recovery “by Electrostatics” of part of the dispersions,
• The Very Reduction of excess wetting,
• The Reduction of the drift air, and for,
• The Reduction of the drip to the ground.

So, with the spraying assisted by TIFONE ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE (E±S+), all the points target listed in the opening are achieved.

The new system TIFONE Electrostatic Charge (E±S+) is available for all TIFONE Spraying Equipment.

Adjusting of a TIFONE Propeller is fast and easy.
You should, however, do a little practical exercise, to learn how to run the operation with ease and in just 6 seconds.

Some Basic Information:
As the Propeller has a limited inertial weight, is that the operation of the locking release, shall be made with a fast movement.
You only need to learn how to make the required quick movements with the "adjusting key".
The safety grid of the fan has a central disc with a hole, for the entry of adjusting key, and to reach the centre of the "Big red nut" with a cross-shaped indentation.
Through one of the several slots of the same grid, the adjusting key can then reach a "peripheral slots" found on the propeller cup, cup whose rotation determines the instant adjustment of the 8 propeller blades altogether.
The adjusting key will be rotated "counter clockwise" to loosen the "Big red nut” propeller, and clockwise to relock it, after the blades adjustment is done.

How to proceed:

1. Hold the adjusting key as follows (for "right-handed" operators):
   • With the Left hand, hold the straight end of the adjusting key (the long end with the final bent as "L")
   • With the Right hand, firmly hold instead the articulated extreme short end of adjusting key.
2. Now focus on the fact that your left hand will only keep the bent end within the cross notch of the "Big red nut", while, with your right hand, you will have to transmit an "instantaneous momentum," strong enough to loosen the "Big red nut".
3. Focusing now on the light weight of the propeller itself, we must use the most of its low inertial mass.
4. So, if we apply a slow torsional movement, we do not get enough impact to unlock the "Big red nut". A quick right hand movement, a "jerk", is essential.
5. Prior to the rapid movement thereof, to get a higher torsional effect, you must also take a short pre-rotation of the propeller in the opposite direction, and then make the move as quickly as possible, in the direction required for the function (Left hand to release, right hand to relock)
6. Repeat a few times to become familiar with this type of fast motion, focusing on points 2.3.4.5., and the operation will soon become easy, instinctive and effective.
7. Be careful not to overdo the locking of "Big red nut".
   In fact, the force required to release it is a bit 'higher” than the force required for locking, once the adjustment is made. If you block the "Big red nut" too strong, it will be necessary a greater force to unlock it, next time you have to change the adjustment.
8. So, No need, to over tighten the "Big red nut".
9. Normally, it is sufficient a tightening average, obtained with 2-3 pulses, to prevent any accidental
10. loss of adjustment.

Machine suitable to produce a certain flow of liquid and to maintain it at a certain pressure within the circuit of the Cannon sprayer and Hand lance.

Terms of Functionality, Operability, Reliability, Durability, Aesthetic appeal and Security, and requests in a growing level by the market and by law, and for all products and services. The concept of Quality tends to include the Price level, which should be proportionate and not exceed the limits of market acceptance.

What is it?
A TIFONE innovative system for a quick locking and release of Pest and Vector Control Cannon sprayer, on the floor of the vehicle.

What are the advantages?
The operation is accomplished in less than 30 sec., without any fatigue, mess or risk. Easily you can quickly release your pick-up for other uses.

What is it?
A reference index adapted to indicate a base reference situation. Typical resetting index is the one integrated in the “shock absorbing” system of all TIFONE Mouthpieces.

Amount of liquid – spray mixture - technically not pumped out by the circuit and thus remaining as a Technical Residue in the circuit self.
According to CE Regulation, it should be the minimum possible.
This requirement is related to the fact of you being able to wash the tank and the spray circuit of the machine with a reduced amount of water, since it is also prescribed that the Technical Residue must be diluted at least 10 times before being sprayed out.
(So, the washing tank must have a capacity of at least 10 times the value of the Technical Residue)
The " Technical Residue " is reduced to a minimum taking with the utmost care at:

1 . THE LENGTH OF ALL THE PIPES AND HOSES FORMING THE SPRAYING CIRCUIT:

• a - Intake line from the pump to suction filter and from this to the sump in the tank, 
• b - Return line from the pressure regulator to the tank 
• c - Pressure line to the pressure filters and to nozzles manifolds 
• d - Pressure lines to mixers 2 .. 

2 . THE SHAPE OF THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK

• a - Longitudinal Profiles laying on the tank chassis 
• b - Shape and the size of the suction sump 
• c - Point and shrewdness of the suction fitting

What about?
An important feature in the tanks for sprayers. By CE regulation, the roughness of the walls, internal and external tanks for sprayers must not be greater than 0.1 mm.
Fibreglass tanks are smooth on the outside but very rough inside. And they start to loose glass fibres soon in the time.

Negative consequences are: Glass fibres go around, clogging suction filter, pump valves and spray nozzles,
All spray tanks of TIFONE equipment are made in Polyethylene HD, perfectly smooth on the inside and outside.

What does this mean?
It's the distance between two adjacent rows of trees. The spacing is an important factor for the calculation for the adjustment the mist blower to distribute a given "Volume per hectare".

The Spray Patternator (Prüfstand) is the ideal equipment and essential for the study, testing, tuning and optimization of professional Air sprayers.
Present in TIFONE since the year 1979

What do you mean?
Ambiguous term. The Maximum spray range is highly dependent on environmental conditions.
The Wind is the first element that can make a big change in the spray range increasing it uncontrollably (strong wind in favour), or reducing it drastically (strong wind against).
As a best practice and to avoid an uncontrolled pesticide dispersion in the Environment, it is suggested not to spray in case of strong wind, and do it in calm air: Generally early in the morning or in the evening.

What do you mean?
A Useful Spray Range of an air sprayer is defined as the distance at which one perceives the arrival of spray mist in amounts considered sufficient to determine an effective Pest and Vector control.
The Useful Spray Range is much influenced by the wind, the diameter of the droplets, the ambient temperature and the advancing speed of the machine.
