Zusammenfassung:	A spray system for a milling machine includes a plurality of flow adjustment assemblies, which include a flow adjustment assembly, and a spray controller. The flow adjustment assembly includes a pressure sensor and a valve. The spray controller is configured to receive, from a user interface, an input that indicates a desired flow rate of a fluid through the flow adjustment assembly. The spray controller is configured to receive, from the pressure sensor, a pressure measurement of the fluid. The spray controller is configured to determine, based on receiving the pressure measurement, a desired opening size of the valve to enable the desired flow rate of the fluid. The spray controller is configured to actuate the valve to adjust an opening size of the valve to equal the desired opening size and cause the fluid to flow through the flow adjustment assembly at the desired flow rate.
