 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Will Smart Greenleaf Technologies P.O. Box 1767 Covington, LA 70434 (800) 881-4832 www.turbodrop.com Greenleaf Technologies Introduces the Variable Rate TurboDrop® Nozzle Since the beginning of spraying time, nozzle output technology has remained virtually unchanged. Nozzle dynamics have dictated the range of flow possible through any given orifice, bounded by the equation that pressure must be quadrupled to double the flow of any nozzle. These days sprayers are traveling faster, and farmers are looking for a better way to apply different rates across the same field. Consequently the need for a nozzle with a wider range of flow has arisen. Recently, injection systems and electronic pulsing solenoids have been an option, but they are complicated and expensive and have not been widely adopted. Greenleaf Technologies is pleased to introduce the TurboDrop® Variable Rate (TDVR), an entirely new nozzle for expanded operating ranges. The TDVR operates between 30 and 120 psi, achieving a 4X rate across this pressure range, allowing greater speed changes, different application rates for different fields, or Variable Rate Applications in a single field. Likewise, the TurboDrop® Variable Rate nozzle utilizes the unique Venturi Technology of the original TurboDrop®, producing air-filled droplets for on-target performance, coverage and canopy penetration. The TDVR continues the TurboDrop® modular two-piece design, allowing any number of pattern configurations to be used - including Flat Fans, Twin Fans, and Floods. The TurboDrop® Variable Rate will available in March 2007. For more information on our new Variable Rate nozzle and the many other products we offer, please contact Will Smart toll free (800) 881-4832 or sales@turbodrop.com.  | |||
