Maximise Your Spray Runs with Smarter Nozzles for Single Spot Spraying Operations

If you've got a legacy WEED-IT rig that's been smashing it for years with those crusty old even (band) spraying nozzles, you know they get the job done. But imagine stretching that tank full of chemical to cover some extra hectares, all while hitting your target weeds spot-on with the right rate. Avoid cutting runs short or wasting product on bare dirt.

By now, I hope you've concluded that even spray nozzles aren't the sharpest tool for spot spraying in the broad-acre environment, especially on tight 20cm or 25cm spacings. Operating in isolation—firing solo over weeds—they spray wider than necessary, dumping chemical where it's not needed.

The Game-Changer: ARAG CFLD-XC40 Tapered Spot-Spray Nozzles

Enter ARAG/ASJ's 40° XC Compact Fan Low Drift tapered spot-spray nozzles: the game-changer for efficiency. These focus a heavier dose right in the nozzle's sweet spot—the "target zone" dead above the weed—delivering maximum punch where it counts. The edges taper off, slashing waste on the surrounds that even nozzles love to soak.

Result? Higher concentration on target means you can dial back the spray-width application rate without skimping on weed-killing power. Your tank lasts longer, you spray further, and you'll save money on refills. More ground covered, less downtime—perfect for those long hauls across the Mallee or the Wheatbelt.

Proven Performance

If you want to take a deep dive into the numbers, I wrote a detailed article a few months back. The proof is all there and you'll find a link to download our App for WEED-IT users and check it out for yourself:
