    Very beautiful build, lots of hours into it I can tell. I have one on the way with many inspirations coming directly from your build. Have you considered running a T or 3 way valve directly off the pushing side of the pump so you can bypass the cone and super reel to prevent any type of contamination going into your tanks when using your pump isolation valve? I know it’s probably not a big deal to you considering you might tote pull from the pump if you need I’ve just been taught to eliminate as many variables as possible with chemical. I’ll make a video or send some pics your way if you want to check my build out, I’m an entry level welder without a plasma table so go easy on me!! Just wanted to give credit where it’s due, you have one of the most efficient, dual purpose venturi set ups out there. Much love from Saskatchewan

    • @practicalfabricator
      @practicalfabricator 10 месяцев назад

      Thank you! This does very well at minimizing contamination as no chemicals go through the pump. Water is flushed through the flow meter after each fill and the chemicals are only added under velocity. So in theory it shouldn't have any still spots to settle in

    Wow. That’s a slick setup. Just chatted with you on TikTok about your Venturi. We have the exact same trailer ours is a spread axle though. We have a 2400 gal top air sprayer we tender to. I’ll be loading 85 gal of lexar to the sprayer I can’t get anyone to answer my question of how long will it take to pull that through the Venturi. I will be setting up 3-85 gallon cone tanks to pump into. Im not a fan of sucking through a meter I want to see the product in a cone tank. That’s just my preference. I’ve been using the high flow chem pumps and they pump fast. I load all jugs on the sprayer as it has its own 15 gal tank with a Venturi. And that works fine. I just don’t want to run chemical through my full pump. I want to have clean rinse water when I need it. I’m using a 3” pump now to fill. What do you think about sucking 85 gal of lexar through the Venturi? How long would it take? And then possibly 30 gallon of glyphosate. I guess the biggest question is do I continue to use suction side to empty my cones or the pressure side with a Venturi to pull it out. I’m ok with either way I don’t want to slow down filling time, but I also want to have clean rinse water if that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to make that video.

    • @practicalfabricator
      @practicalfabricator Год назад

      I'm sure there is info on the ratio of carrier vs product. With really high rates I added a suction inlet 2" cam with a valve. With a rate that big you can measure the tote and pull. You can do cone fill pumps and venturi empty.

    • @simmywilliams4424
      @simmywilliams4424 Год назад

      Depends on the pump pressure. But like you I had a 2" line sucking out of totes on a scale. This way I typically draw out about 30 gallons of Glyphosate in about 40 seconds. During this time it draws about 50-60 gallons of carrier. This is with a 3" hypro power pro pump at full throttle.

    If you would run self test on THC , if you measured voltage from Up and Down signals what would they be? I'm having issue, everything is set up as you have it but if I try to run test without plasma on my UCCNC does not receive any signals, and if I select active low , depending which side i select the axis moves to that direction without THC giving any signals

    Looks good, I can see that you put a lot of thought in to your project. I’ve made a tender trailer two years ago, I’m going to use some of your tips on mine. Question, I assume on your Sprayer you have a rinse tank. Mine does, to fill it quickly from the tender . I use the 3” hose , normally fills the solution tank, after it’s rinsed, you can top off the rinse tank. I made a 3” male coupling to 2” female coupling. To do the job. I also have a Praxidyn Mixmate system, check it out. I would suggest you install a screen in front of the gear meter. It has very tight clearance. Also put a floating ball in sight gauge of the Enduroplas tank, I have a source if you’re interested.

  • @hornbaker
    @hornbaker 2 года назад

    FYI, the video says you connected the up/down to inputs 1/2 but you’re actually wired for the default of 2/3 (pins 11 & 12). Pin 1 is the Arc_OK, which I’m curious about because yours appears to be pre-wired - where are you getting that signal? Ours was not pre-wired, and Mach3 wouldn’t run a program with THC enabled until I wired from the Proma’s Arc_OK output to input 1 on the interface board. Then… for reasons we can’t figure out, Mach3 ignores the THC up/down requests. We can see them in the diagnostic screen, but the PC will not adjust the Z height in jog mode or during a program. We overcame this by checking the box in Settings | Pins | Milling to Use THC input regardless of THC being on or off. Now the THC works during a program, but during jogging / manual cutting it will only adjust up, not down. Seems like a bug.

    • @practicalfabricator
      @practicalfabricator 2 года назад

      Yes you are correct. My mistake. I just uploaded a new video with some more information. For the thc to work it needs three arc signal. I pulled direct from the cpc on the machine. It's an open closed signal needs one ground and one to an input

      @@practicalfabricator Thanks! Yep, watched that new video a couple hours after you posted it. We’re on the right track with the wiring, but can’t solve the Mach3 behavior completely. The Milling setting seems to essentially say “ignore the THC on/off selector and force it on always”. This probably isn’t an issue in practice, if that’s what it takes, but seems to be working around a bug. We’ve seen videos where this is working normally, but can’t tell how our Mach3 setup is different.
