In our February edition of NJP News, we advised of our new High Flow
Valve (HFV) technology. The introduction of this valve into our range of applicators has now commenced. This article is to help you understand
the changes.

To assist our customers, we have not altered the order codes of the applicators or the service kits.

The benefits of our High Flow Valve technology are;
• Faster refill.
• Easier dosing as the flow path is less restricted.
• Less prone to blockages.
Other improvements you will benefit from are;
• Positive lock system on our 30ml nozzle.
• Easier assembly with our new piston o-ring arrangement.
• Spare parts kits will fit both previous and new models.
• The adaptor is colour coded blue, to identify this new model.
PAD778 and PAM754

The 25ml Plastic Drencher and Pour-On will be produced in a blue tint.

This enhancement has many benefits;
• It is easier to see the dose scale when the applicator has product in the barrel.
• Over longer periods, the applicator is more UV stable.
SP1009

We will be reintroducing this very popular backpack holder.

The features include;
• Comfortable and easy to wear.
• A gas bottle pocket, useful when used with the NJ Phillips Powered
applicator.
• Longer adjustable straps.
• Fits our 2.5 litre (WX46) and 5 litre (WX185) back pack bottles.
• Can be used in an upright and inverted position.
• The bottle is fully enclosed and insulated within the backpack, minimising possible damage.
• Large size carry handle.

The SP1336 universal backpack holder will no longer be available.
One of the most common problems we see when instruments are returned to us for repair, is that they just haven’t been cleaned and lubricated properly after use.
If instruments are not cleaned immediately after use they can become gummed up or seized as product dries inside them, or some chemicals in the product can damage the seals in the instrument after extended exposure.
The majority of animal health remedies can be cleaned out by using a simple procedure.
Step 1 – If you’re using a sterile product, disconnect the bottle when you have one animal left to treat – inject the animal and then you only have a small amount of product that needs to be discarded. If you’re using a non-sterile product like drench or pour-on, disconnect the feedtube from the container after dosing the last animal, wipe the nozzle clean of any dirt and then pump any product in the feedtube and applicator back into the container. If it’s an injector remove the needle before starting the clean up.
Step 2 – Wash any dirt off the applicator using warm soapy water and a soft brush or cloth.

Step 3 – The majority of products can be cleaned out using water. To check – take a few mls of product and add a little water. As long as the product mixes easily with the water and doesn’t go stringy or gel  or crystallise then go ahead and clean the instrument by firstly rinsing through with warm clean water mixed with a little washing up detergent and then follow-up by rinsing through with fresh clean water. When that’s done just pump the instrument a few times to get out most of the water.

Step 4 – Never store the instrument without lubricating it first. To lubricate a feedtube style applicator - remove the feedtube and holding the applicator pointing downwards drizzle some NJ Phillips Lubricant or castor oil into the inlet fitting while activating the applicator. This will draw lubricant down into the cylinder. Once there are a few mls of lubricant in the cylinder, pump the applicator several times and let any excess lubricant dribble out of the nozzle. To lubricate a bottle mount injector you’ll probably need to open the applicator and lubricate the inside of the cylinder directly.

Step 5 – Wipe the applicator down again with a cloth and then store in a cool dry place out of reach of animals and children.

Don’t forget injectors need to be sterilised before use. You can print our instructions on cleaning and sterilisation located under Information Guides or view our short video on Sterilising NJ Phillips Injectors, both are available on our website.

Learn about our great new improvements
on selected instruments, in particular,
our High Flow Valve technology and ripple grip handle.
G’day and welcome to another episode of Outback Matt. I thought it would be a great opportunity to reiterate about the new products that are coming out and the improvements they bring.
In the range of 65ml Plastic Pour-On applicators and 60ml and 30ml Auto and Non-Auto applicators we have introduced the new ripple grip handle. This new style gives you a much more comfortable handgrip as well as makes the hand span smaller. It is especially evident when using gloves or in wet conditions as the ripple area allows for a more positive feel of the applicator.
Along with this, we now see the new HFV Technology, (High Flow Valve), being introduced across this range. This new valve technology has proven its worth in all testing and field conditions.
The design incorporates the new open flow areas that allow all products to flow faster into and out of the applicator. The sealing edge also significantly improves performance, as there is no o-ring that can be affected by some products. In trials against our previous o-ring style valves, the HFV out-performed in every case; it was not affected by build of product or prone to any sticking issues.
Keep your eye out for these new design features next time you visit your local store or when ordering online at njphillips.com
As always, I hope you enjoy this episode of Outback Matt and I will see you again soon, at another time, from another place around the world.

Regards,
Outback Matt
