BOWSMITH | Fan-Jet Microsprinklers
The Bowsmith introduced Fan-Jet Microsprinklers in 1977. Since then, American growers have made the Fan-Jet brand their number one choice of microsprinklers to irrigate their orchards and vineyards.
Fan-Jet Advantages:
- Big Wetted Area
– Large Root Zone
– Potentially bigger Yields - Frost Protection
– Raise ambient temperatures up to 2 degrees - Leaching Capabilities
– Leach Salts away from the Root Zone - Best Value
– Less plastic than dual line drip
– Save up to $100 an acre
Fan-Jet Features:
- Superior 2-piece design: nozzle and twin wedge post frame with splash plate are molded separately
- Precision craftsmanship
– Consistent patterns
– Uniform flows - No moving parts
- Quick thread for fast installation
- High grade (automotive grade) copolymer plastics
- Seven flow rates: color coded nozzles: 6-24 gph
- Eighteen spray patterns
Fan-Jet® PLUS Microsprinklers
The Bowsmith Fan-Jet Plus micro-sprinkler combines the quality of the original Fan-Jet micro-sprinkler, plus the added feature that prevents clogging or pattern distortion due to insects and other external objects – saving you time and money.
- Exclusive Fan-Jet PLUS “Dual Action” frame: pops-up & retracts
- All water contact surfaces are protected from insects and other external foreign objects
- No rotating parts to break, stick, or wear out.
- Simple take-a-part, two piece design allows for quick cleaning of nozzle clogged by particles in the irrigation water
- Five spray patterns available
- Seven color-coded flow rates: 6.0 to 29.4 gallons per hour
Fan-Jet PLUS advantages over drip emitters:
- Larger wetted area per tree = Larger root system
- Greater irrigation flexibility = Energy savings, soil
- Aeration, & frost protection
- Priced lower than dual line drip = Better value
Fan-Jet PLUS Advantages over rotary sprinklers:
- Precision water placement = Better irrigation efficiency
- Precise delivery of fertilizers & micronutrients = $avings
- Low application rates = Better soil penetration and less runoff
- Lower operating pressures = Lower energy costs
- Lower price = Better value
Fan-Jet® “PC” Series Pressure Compensators
Features & Benefits
- Wide regulating range: Uniform flows, even at low or high pressures
- Low minimum operating pressure: Saves on energy costs
- Self-flushing throughout operation: High clog resistance | Less maintenance, higher crop yield
- Unique two-piece design: Allows for quick, easy cleaning
- Regulates microsprinklers: Pairs with multiple Fan-Jet nozzles | You choose the flow rate, pattern, and nozzle | Works at the end or middle of feeder tubes
Fan-Jet® Microsprinklers
The Bowsmith Fan-Jet microsprinkler is the benchmark in low volume spray devices. Developed by Bowsmith in 1977, the Fan-Jet’s breakthrough design provided high spray trajectories , more consistent and larger wetting patterns, and lower cost in a water-saving, lowflow device. The 1986 introduction of the twin wedge post head design enabled a wider variety of wetting patterns, including full-circle. Today, the Fan-Jet remains the standard other microsprayers have to meet.
Fan-Jet’s fixed splash plate design has no moving parts to wear out or jam. They’re available in 18 different wetting patterns to suit virtually any lowvolume or retrofit application. Color-coded nozzles in 7 different sizes offer even more customization possibilities. There are other microsprinklers available; the Fan-Jet is made only by Bowsmith.
