Title: Alex G - Fans
Post by: Rogue Trader on August 02, 2008, 08:32:12 pm
Hello Alex have recieved your new single trim brush with fans and i love it!
The fans that were fitted are Lurmark 04E40 and i noticed that they fanned slightly more than the varitech ones i already had these are Lurmark 04F40 , do you know much about these and are there different models with greater and less fanning?

Technically it is possible to have varying fan jets but we only supply the ones that you received.  Glad that you like the way they work - I personally have never got on with fan jets and tend to prefer pencil jets!

are these jets made specifically for wfp or are they used and sourced from another industry? It seems that everyone elses fans are thrown together by some dodgy blacksmith but these are factory made and there are clearly different models with differing fan capabilities.

These ones are made specifically for water fed pole use but part of them are sourced from the agricultural industry.

How do they perform in use,in the brush you got do the fans avoid the bristles.

So does your supplier offer different models of these fans? and i suppose it is a silly question to ask who the supplier of these is ... or is it?

I found very little spray disturbance caused by the bristles, I had to cut out two groups of bristles for each fan to allow the fan to spray unaffected. Most impressed.

Did Alex test the brush before to see if it would fan properly,i would have thought he would do that.If they work well with that brush i`d like to try 1.

I dont know, I did mention to him that a different supplier had supplied me with a dodgily (?) jetted fan brush in the past, he reckoned it wouldnt happen if he jetted a brush, reckon was a fluke meself  ;D

I'll have to have a look at your brush Matt. Driven past you a few times in the last week but rushing from one place to the next.

Yea, sure, your welcome mate. I never knew there was anyone on here that lived locally.

Thought all the shiners round here were muppets  ;D

Give me a ring if you like Neil, numbers on the website.
