Spray equipment specialist hits the half century
A spray equipment company, founded in Rotorua and now exporting products to the world, is celebrating its 50th year of operations.
This makes the nozzles especially suitable for users who frequently need to change rates for different spray regimes.
Available in four sizes (o15/02/02/fert) and with flow ranges of 0.68-5.8L/min, each nozzle has the potential to replace up to four different conventional items. As an example the 03 VR item has a volume range of 150-400L/ha at 10 km/h, compared to the 03 AI unit which can only apply 150-200L/ha at the same speed.
Croplands cites the obvious benefit to a user who might spray at a forward sped of 6km/h on rugged land, then move to flat paddocks later in the day and achieve 16km/h. Alternatively, the same operator might spray at 100L/ha for a tidy-up, 200L/ha for a fertiliser application or 300L/ha for post emergence. All rates are achievable with a suitable rate controller.
Retro-fit units are available for all older machines.
