How Spray-Air™ technology works
The patented Shear Guard™ PLUS Air Nozzles, spaced every 10" along the air boom, atomise the spray droplets. This creates the optimum-sized droplets, which are not affected by speed and pressure changes, ensuring a uniform application over the entire field.
The Air Nozzle’s 160+ km/h air blasts the spray droplets deep into the crop canopy, ensuring complete top-to-bottom leaf surface coverage. No other application technology can measure up to the total plant coverage from the Spray-Air™ nozzle.
Because of the smaller controlled droplets and directed air blast, the Air Nozzles allow for very efficient use of water, often in the range of 18 to 46 L/Ha for herbicides, and generally from 56 to 93 L/Ha with fungicides.
Features
Droplet size is the key to coverage.
Do more, with less.
Applying crop protection products with smaller droplets results in significantly more coverage than large droplets when applying the same carrier volume.
This is why the Spray-Air™ nozzle allows for a reduction in water carrier volumes over conventional flat fan nozzle applications: smaller droplets mean more surface coverage, requiring less water and the lowest rates of active agent possible!
Large coarse droplets (particularly 400 microns and larger) tend to miss the leaves, bounce or runoff, or pool in concentrations.
Only fine & medium droplets provide consistent & uniform surface coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Miller's Spray-Air™ air boom technology is renowned for providing the most precise application technology available. It excels in situations where coverage is crucial and deep canopy penetration is needed to combat target pests such as weeds, diseases, or insects.
This leads to improved coverage and reduced drift at higher speeds.
IntelliSpray II™ is available exclusively on Miller Nitro sprayers.
Miller Spray-Air™ offers instantaneous control over droplet size, spray pattern, and the speed of the air blast spraying. It is distinguished by its ability to provide exceptional coverage, even at the lowest application rates achievable.
The Spray-Air™ technology's unique air nozzle spray system ensures deep canopy penetration, providing complete top-to-bottom leaf surface coverage. This surpasses other application technologies in terms of total plant coverage.
The Spray-Air™ is available on 120ft Miller truss booms.
Users can anticipate improved application efficiency, and full plant coverage while minimising application rates.
