Replacement Anti-Drift Spray Hood 31 cm for Inter-Row Booms - Code RICAMBI COFANO 31 CM

The professional-grade replacement anti-drift spray hood 31 cm is a structural protective component engineered specifically as an original service part for the maintenance and restoration of inter-row weed spraying booms and articulated end sections matching part numbers 26888 and 26890. This replacement canopy serves as an unyielding physical shield against crosswinds and ambient air currents, isolating the atomized chemical mist underneath the dome to guarantee maximum agrochemical field application safety.

Design Details and Shielding Functionality

This protective spray dome is injection-molded from high-density, high-molecular-weight structural technopolymer compounds, an advanced polymer matrix engineered to absorb mechanical impacts, resist abrasive friction against field undergrowth, and tolerate continuous exposure to chemical concentrates and UV radiation. Featuring a calibrated internal effective shielding length of 31 cm, the replacement shell seats flush onto the supporting steel frames of single or articulated inter-row modules, re-establishing the original enclosed micro-chamber adjacent to the ground line. Maintaining this structural shield is vital to eliminate chemical spray drift; by containing floating micro-droplets within the boundaries of the hood, the component prevents volatile herbicides from contacting the bark, low foliage, or root collars of sensitive vineyard and orchard crops, completely suppressing accidental crop phytotoxicity risks.

Workshop Installation and Field Maintenance Guidelines

• Dismantling the Worn Shield: Remove the damaged or cracked polymer canopy by unscrewing the anchoring fasteners from the mechanical spray arm or the breakout safety hinge. Position the new 31 cm replacement hood, checking for perfect alignment with the internal nozzle holder body seating.
• Torque and Seating Calibration: Tighten the retaining bolts securely without over-torqueing, preventing structural stress on the plastic anchoring shoulders while ensuring the replacement shell forms a rigid, continuous chamber with the frame.
• Post-Application Cleaning Protocol: Following the completion of each seasonal weeding cycle, thoroughly flush the internal surfaces of the protective hood with clean water to purge accumulated mud, soil, or concentrated chemical residues, preserving structural polymer longevity.
