Boom prime and recirculation system now available on Croplands Pegasus sprayers
New boom prime tech increases spraying efficiency and reduces product wastage, Croplands said
To add efficiency to its Pegasus range of trailed sprayers, Croplands has equipped the line-up with a new boom prime, recirculation and flush system designed to increase spraying efficiency for producers.
The system aids product agitation and ensure the boom is fully primed with fresh chemical from the very first spray, increasing sprayer efficiency and productivity while also reducing product wastage and minimising environmental impact, Croplands explained.
The new system recirculates fluid from the outside of the boom towards the centre within minutes, allowing producers to spray the right mix from the get-go without delay.
After spraying, the system flushes the boom out safely and efficiently by reverse flushing liquid through the boom section valves, from the outside of the boom and back to the centre, returning product to the tank.
The system is easily activated via the master switch in the tractor cab.
“With input and labour costs ever-increasing, it is more important than ever for growers and sprayer operators to minimise product waste and maximise productivity,” says Croplands Portfolio Manager, Steve Norton.
“Taking learnings from leading global manufacturers of self-propelled sprayers, we have been able to develop a system that is both an efficient and cost-effective solution for all broadacre farmers.”
The system is standard on Croplands Pegasus 8000 and 7000-litre models and available as an option on the 6000 and 5000-litre models.
