What is the edge angle range of a flat-fan nozzle?

The edge angle range of a flat-fan nozzle typically falls between 50 to 160 degrees. This angle refers to the width of the spray pattern produced by the nozzle. Flat-fan nozzles are designed to create a fan-shaped spray that disperses liquid in a wide, thin layer, making them well-suited for applications like herbicide or pesticide application where even coverage is needed over a broad area.

This range allows for effective coverage while minimizing overlaps and gaps in the treatment area. The wider edge angle helps in achieving a more effective application, particularly when targeting larger areas or rows, which is essential in right-of-way vegetation management. Utilizing a nozzle within this angle range can enhance the efficacy of the chemical being applied while promoting environmental safety by reducing drift and ensuring that the intended target receives adequate treatment.
