  • Rotatable shroud for directional control of application area
    Patent number: 9832987
    Abstract: A controlled droplet application (CDA) nozzle has a CDA nozzle cone having a first axis of rotation in a first position and, after adjustment, a second axis of rotation in a second position orthogonal to the first. A rotationally adjustable directional shroud surrounds at least a portion of the cone, the directional shroud blocking at least a portion of a lip of the cone regardless of whether the cone is positioned in the first or second axis of rotation.

  • RECLAMATION SYSTEM FOR A CONTROLLED DROPLET APPLICATOR
    Publication number: 20150258556
    Abstract: A controlled droplet applicator (CDA) reclamation method includes deflecting a portion of fluid dispersed from a rotating cup of a CDA nozzle, the deflection causing a change from a circular spray pattern to a truncated spray pattern. The deflected fluid portion is collected in a reclamation shroud encircling a lip of the cup.
