The self-contained, SMART Mfg. Triple R series is designed for heavy use in winter weather and may be operated in the processes of anti-icing and de-icing of Ramps, Roadways, and Runways. A driver friendly, computer system controls the application rate as the vehicle speed or spray width changes. A front spray bar provides good visibility in tight quarters. A rear center spraybar and left and right side sprayhead arrangement is used in open areas.

Construction

The product tank and pump manifolds are constructed of stainless steel. Steel components used in the Triple R unit are cleaned, primed, and painted to prevent deterioration. Rear center spraybar and left and right side sprayheads provide spray widths from 12' to 36' (3.6 to 11.0m). A front center spraybar sprays 12' (3.6m) wide. Section spraying is ideal for treating single lane roadways, parking areas and pedestrian walkways.

Computer / Product Control

The computer system monitors product flow, active boom width and ground speed to adjust the product pump output. The desired application rate is maintained regardless of the vehicle speed. Ground speed is monitored through vehicle transmission interfacing or a GVS velocity sensor.

Pump System

Deicer liquid flows from a stainless steel product tank to an efficient hydraulically driven centrifugal cast-iron pump. The computer system regulates product flow by controlling the product pump throttle speed. A four valve shut-off assembly controls front and rear spray nozzle sections. Nozzle valves may be used independently or combined by switching from front center nozzles or rear left, right and center nozzles as desired.

Variable Orifice (VO) Nozzles

The flow rate of the Variable Orifice (VO) nozzle changes as required by the vehicle speed and product flow. The inherent anti-drip design closes the nozzle when the vehicle stops. The nozzle droplet size and velocity produces no splash at 40 mph reducing atomization. Spray at speeds from 1 to 50 mph and at rates from 0.25 to 2.0 gallons per 1000 square feet. Variable Orifice (VO) nozzles eliminate check valves, selectable nozzles, quick-change nozzles, or multiple nozzle spray systems.

Sprayer Capacity

A 1450 gallon (1,000L) product tank sprays up to 5.8 million square feet (538,800m2) with application rates from 0.25 to 2.0 gallons per 1000 square feet (0.95 to 7.5 L / 93m2). This enables the driver to cover up to 16,100 lineal feet with a 36' swath.
