Tip Wizard has three functions: Spray Tip Search; Fertilizer Metering Orifice Search; Ball Flow Indicator Search. Each function performs different functions based on your application: Spray Tip Search: With industry leading information, Tip Wizard takes a known broadcast chemical spray application, and turns it into meaningful results with educational information such as % less than 141µ (driftable fines), % less than 600 (% of small droplets) and targeted droplet size based on any chemical's requirements. Tip Wizard also has industry leading calculations and information for PWM spray systems, like Capstan PinPoint & EVO, Case AimCommand, John Deere ExactApply, Raven Hawkeye, Intellispray, and more. All Combo-Jet tips are recommended for PWM spray systems. Fertilizer Metering Orifice Search: To simplify selecting a metering orifice, this calculator allows you to quickly find which Wilger metering orifice (in either a Combo-Jet cap style orifice, or O-ring seal orifice - for ORS manifolds or flow indicators). It provides an alternative rate option, which makes it useful determining the flow range of an orifice size without doing any calculations manually. Ball Flow Indicator Search: A new feature to Tip Wizard, helps a user select which Wilger ball flow indicator column would be best used in an application, as well as which balls would be used to best represent their flow with the application rate and product density in mind. Very simple to use, and greatly simplifies the process of using flow indicators. Through information, education, and innovation, we ensure Wilger products are being used in setting best practices in an ever-changing environment.
