TurboDrop Nozzles
The TurfoDrop nozzle was developed over 15 years ago to improve coverage, reduce runoff and maximize efficiency with plant growth promotion and protection materials. It's combination of excellent drift control and uniform spray distribution make it the perfect choice for the myriad of spray applications on the golf course or any specialized area.
The TurboDrop venturi nozzle combines the drift control of a coarse spray (like a flood nozzle) with the uniform spray distribution of a flat fan nozzle. The "Air-Filled" droplets outperform standard nozzles. The droplets spread out or collapse on the leaf surface rather than just running off, like big solid droplets do. Having "Air-Filled" droplets means that there are more droplets in the spray to hit the intended target, resulting in superior coverage.

TurboDrop® nozzles use Bernoulli’s principle to create a low pressure area which pulls air into the nozzle where it is mixed with the liquid stream to create larger air-filled droplets. The metering orifice determines the flow rate and thus the size of the nozzle. The exit orifice determines the spray pattern of the nozzle. 
Most spray nozzles have a single orifice that controls both the flow rate and the pattern. Therefore, when the nozzle begins to wear, both the flow rate and pattern are affected negatively. With the TurboDrop®, the initial metering orifice takes most of the pressure, protecting the life of the pattern orifice, to provide extended pattern uniformity, and prevent striping which can be a major issue on golf course greens.
The TurboDrop® utilizes a large mixing chamber and a patented pulsation dampener to produce a more uniform spray droplet spectrum made up of air-energized droplets. The air inclusion is important in that it changes the physics of the spray droplet. Air-filled droplets tend to spread out or collapse on the leaf surface rather than just running off, like big, solid-liquid droplets do. Additionally, having air-filled droplets means that there are more droplets in the spray to hit the intended target.
TurboDrop® Venturi Nozzles for Golf Course Spraying
TurboDrop® nozzles maximize on-target performance. Even the best chemistry requires accurate placement. TurboDrop® nozzles minimize drift and provide uniform coverage for maximum chemical efficacy.
TurboDrop® nozzles help prevent striping. The metering orifice protects the life of the pattern orifice by taking most of the pressure. As conventional stainless nozzles wear, the pattern gets heavy in the center, producing a striping effect. Poly TurboDrop® nozzles outlast stainless steel fans two to one. Ceramic TurboDrops® outlast stainless steel about 6 or 7 to one.
TurboDrop® nozzles have been proven for over 12 years in the widest variety of golf course applications. Superintendents do not need a different nozzle for every type of application.
TurboDrop® nozzles eliminate the need for costly drift control additives that can alter the performance of the chemicals being applied.
TurboDrop® nozzles widen the spraying window. Applicators can get the job done more quickly, spraying faster, spraying in a wider variety of conditions and often spraying with less water.
TurboDrop® nozzles provide a more consistent, effective droplet size. The droplets are not as coarse as with flood nozzles and are not as fine as with extended range flat fan nozzles. The droplet size is more uniform, providing more useful droplets with fewer ineffective (wasted) droplets.
TurboDrop® nozzles produce air energized droplets. The air expands inside the droplets, accelerating them toward the target. The droplets spread on contact with the leaf surface. Air-filled droplets mean there are more droplets to hit the target.
TurboDrop® nozzles eliminate the need for cumbersome shrouds or boom covers that hide the nozzles and become covered with chemical contamination.
