The deflection type nozzle produces the flat fan pattern by deflecting the fluid stream against a curved impact surface after exit from the nozzle orifice.

Use a single standard flat fan nozzle (or a set of standard flat fan nozzles on a mini-boom) for broadcast spraying herbicides, fungicides or insecticides. A single nozzle can be used to spray insecticides/fungicides laterally and upwards to crop rows or stand-alone plants.
