Nozzle Maintenance and care
- Nozzles are a critical component in the spraying system chain when it comes to Pitch Marking Spray Machines, and yet the most neglected.
- Worn or damaged nozzles result in over or under application of Pitch Marking Paint. Nozzles should be examined and checked regularly.
- Always keep a spare nozzles with the machine for immediate replacement in the field when necessary.
- A visual assessment of the nozzle discharge pattern will show up any streaking due to damaged nozzles.
- Always keep a new nozzle to one side for a comparison.
- If your Nozzle becomes blocked it should be soaked in clean, warm water with a mild detergent added if necessary, and carefully cleaned with only a soft brush (Toothbrush Recommended).
- Never attempt to clear a nozzle by blowing through it by mouth.
- NEVER EVER attempt to remove stubborn deposits with pins, wire or other sharp implements. This will damage the inside of the Nozzle.
- Always Clean the Machine with clean water after each days marking.
- Remember, no matter how good the associated spray machinery, it is the nozzle quality and condition that determines just how effectively the Pitch Marking Paint is applied.
- Always clean the Nozzle after each Days marking to ensure you encounter no problems on the Pitch.
- It is suggested to use an Inline Filter where the machine allows.
