Strainer
Refer to Figure 24
A Banjo brand strainer is supplied with the fertilizer pump
option. It is plumbed before the pump. The standard
80 mesh screen
should be suitable for most
applications. A 50 mesh screen is available from Great
Plains. Other screen sizes are available from Banjo
Corporation.
Agricultural Chemical Hazard:
Wear protective gloves when changing screens.
If changing screen sizes, keep in mind the following.
• A smaller mesh (100) keeps very small manifold
orifice plates from plugging so often. However, the
screen requires cleaning more often.
• If using variable rate nozzles, Spray Target
recommends use of a 50 mesh screen with the
VeriFlow nozzles available from Great Plains (part
number LST-1550).
• A larger mesh (50) or (30) passes more material but
should only be considered when using large manifold
orifice plates.
• Mesh sizes below 30 are not recommended for use
with CDS-John Blue pumps.
• A plugged or partially plugged screen starves the
pump resulting in a reduced application rate.
• Mesh sizes: (Smallest) 100, 80, 50, 30 (Largest)
