1. INTRODUCTION

The mobile measuring and documenting system "Sprimas" is used for the
following measurements:

 The sprayer boom spray pattern

 The average amount per nozzle

 The total amount for the boom

The measurement carriage moves one metre at a time along the test rail under the
sprayer boom and measures the amount of liquid that hits the measuring plate and
runs into the measuring containers. The amount of liquid in the measuring
containers is measured by ultra sound.

The measuring containers are emptied automatically with solenoid valves when
the test is finished.

When the test is finished the carriage automatically returns to the start position. A
cable is used to transfer the data to a PC.

Properties:

 Fast and simple setup and breakdown of the system.

 Low transport volume due to compact construction with removable measuring

plate.

 Very simple operation.

 Continual flow metering for automatic adjustment of the measuring time for the

nozzle size - minimum test time.

 High accuracy due to ultra sound measuring.

 Accurate carriage positioning due to the metering wheel.

 Safe data transfer from the carriage to the PC.

 Easy to use and functional software for test data documentation.
