3 Technical data Size model nominal capacity (l) (l) length (mm) (mm) width (mm) height (mm) Ellisse Ellisse Ellisse Material: polyethylene Description of part These tanks are designed for use in sprayers for the distribution of chemical products. They are made of polyethylene, obtained via rotational moulding. On the two sides, to the rear, are the seats for the machine s wheels. All models are fitted with a second tank for cleaning the hydraulic circuit, placed in the front section. The liquid content in the main tank can be viewed via the gauge, which must be positioned in the front part of the machine. Access to the main tank is via an opening positioned on the front side. The lower section of the main tank is shaped in such a way as to facilitate emptying, even in an inclined position. Test method The functional parameters examined were the maximum capacity of the various tanks, the accuracy of tank contents indicators of the main tank and the roughness of inside and outside surfaces. Values were measured using water devoid of suspended solids and an electronic balance. Results Capacity Main tank The maximum capacities measured close to the filling opening are given in the table below. 3

4 Verzellesi Ellisse Series Model max. capacity (l) difference vis-à-vis nominal value Ellisse % Ellisse % Ellisse % All models had maximum capacities exceeding 5% of the nominal value, resulting within the limits established in the international standards for sprayers. Rinsing water tank max. model capacity (l) % vis-à-vis nominal value Ellisse % Ellisse % Ellisse % For the Ellisse 3 model the capacity of the rinsing water tank was 1% lower than the nominal capacity of the main tank, thus the extent of the dilutable volume after the tank is installed in the sprayer will have to be checked. Up until 2% of nominal capacity, the maximum difference between the value indicated by the scale markings and the actual amount of liquid in the tank must be ±7.5% according to reference standards. For all the tanks to which the present test report refers, measured values were below the limit, as reported in the table below. model front indicator Ellisse 2-1.8% Ellisse % Ellisse 3 4.7% Over 2% of nominal capacity, the maximum allowed difference is ±5.%. Measured values are given in the table below. model front indicator Ellisse 2-2.7% Ellisse % Ellisse 3 1.8% The graphs below show, for both tanks tested and for both gauges, the differences (in % of error) between the value indicated by scale markings and the actual amount of liquid in the tank. Tank contents indicator The tanks are endowed with tank contents indicators, having a scale marked every 1 l. 4

Measured values are reported in the table below. model external roughness (Rz - µm) internal roughness (Rz - µm) Ellisse Ellisse Ellisse Notes on results The tanks examined, designed for use with trailed sprayers, comply with the international standard requirements. For some parameters, the installer must observe the recommendations given by the tank manufacturer in order to obtain the results given above with the complete sprayer machine. 6
