The Advantages of Zero Velocity Spraying
Would you believe a car can drive 12’ behind an Anti-Icer/De-Icer truck spraying at speeds of up to 60 mph and have not a drop hit the windshield? Not even hit the front bumper? This seemingly impossible feat of minimally disrupting traffic is readily achieved with wintertime maintenance trucks equipped with Spratronics Variable Orifice O-Nozzles and installed per company instructions.
Zero velocity spraying uses the force and speed of the pressurized spray stream aimed backwards to offset the forward motion of the truck. Result: The stream goes where it is aimed at the tire track and lands with minimal force. No fog cloud is created and traffic remains undisturbed. It is the only system that accurately places spray streams where intended on all three lanes at any speed
