Distribution system and induction hopper

 

  • Permanent circulation of the active ingredient solution
  • Large tube and line cross sections for optimum circulation, no deposits and blockages

  • Permanent spraying fluid at the nozzle, exact switching on and off

  • Powerful induction hopper with convincing functions

  • Safe cleaning: displacement of the mixture with fresh water

PowerGear wheel drive

  • Permanent circulation of the active ingredient solution
  • Large tube and line cross sections for optimum circulation, no deposits and blockages

  • Permanent spraying fluid at the nozzle, exact switching on and off

  • Powerful induction hopper with convincing functions

  • Safe cleaning: displacement of the mixture with fresh water

The PowerGear standard drive allows for optimum performance in the field and on the road. Equipped with standard anti-slip control (ASR) and all-wheel drive, the machine easily manages any terrain. The degree of efficiency that has been optimised for the use in the crop care sector with larger wheel motors at the rear axle and the corresponding higher driving power distributes drive torques in the speed range 0 – 59 km/h powerfully and efficiently.

HighPowerGear wheel drive

 

  • Can cope with slopes up to 50 % (26.6°)
  • Maximum torque at the wheel for highest requirements in the field

  • Selective traction control for every wheel

  • Degree of efficiency in the main working range has been specially optimised for the use in the crop care sector

  • Infinitely variable drive from 0 – 59 km/h

For farmers who want to or have to push the limits, we offer the HighPowerGear drive: more driving power when starting, more reserves in wet conditions and more torque in the low speed range for highest requirements in the field. HighPowerGear shows its strength especially with low operational speed and extreme slopes of up to 50% (26.6°). When driving slowly below 8 km/h or if the machine is on the verge of getting stuck, HighPowerGear provides the required power reserves to manage the most difficult situations.

Boom options

 

  • Parallelogram suspension with BoomControl for smooth boom operation in all situations
  • Patented suspension with active, pneumatic control of the middle section

  • 2 Boom Width options, 36 & 48m

  • Stable aluminium profile for safe protection of the nozzles, nozzle bodies and spray lines against damage

  • Collision protection due to overload protection and damping of the wings

  • Overload protection of the outside wings towards the rear, damping of the inside wings to the front and rear
Motion Control

 

  • Counteracts horizontal movements of the boom wings
  • Efficiently smooths horizontal vibrations

  • Spring-loaded cylinder bottom of the folding cylinders

MotionControl is used to smooth the horizontal movements in the boom wings. Horizontal vibrations can be smoothed better due to the spring-loaded cylinder bottom of the folding cylinders. MotionControl is mounted on all booms with coupling bar as standard and available for all smaller booms as an option.

BoomControl Pro

 

  • Independent angling of the boom section and the middle section to follow the terrain
  • Active adaption of the boom to the terrain due to 4 sensors

  • The precise, lowest possible working height is maintained due to automatic boom control system

  • Boom control system with a target height below 40 cm ensures minimum drift

  • Boom is completely independent from the machine

With four ultrasonic sensors BoomContro Pro can angle the boom as well as the middle section to better adapt the boom control system to uneven and slightly hilly terrain. Thus, even at high operational speeds, this version of the automatic boom control system can accurately maintain the lowest possible working height. The safe and stable boom control system with a target height of under 40 cm ensures minimum drift. Active adaption of the boom that is completely independent from the machine via the height control of the middle section.

BoomControl Pro Plus

 

  • Independent angling of the boom section and the middle section to follow the terrain
  • Angling (lifting and lowering) of both outside wings

  • Due to six sensors, the boom actively follows the terrain

  • The precise, lowest possible working height is maintained due to automatic boom control system

  • Boom control system with a target height below 40 cm ensures minimum drift

Due to the six ultrasonic sensors, BoomControl Pro Plus can angle individual boom wings independently and also angle them at the middle section so that the boom can optimally follow uneven and hilly terrain. Thus, even at maximum operational speed, the top version of the automatic boom control can follow the topography of the field with the lowest possible working height. The safe and stable boom control system with a target height of under 40 cm ensures minimum drift. Active adaption of the boom that is completely independent from the machine via the height control of the middle section.

BoomControl/BoomContro Pro extension – extension of the field of vision is ideal for ridge and row crops

Extension BoomControl/BoomControl Pro

 

  • Due to 2 additional sensors, the boom actively follows the terrain
  • To increase the field of vision

  • Ideal for ridge and row crops or for reduced working widths

The BoomControl extension completes the basic version with two additional sensors. The sprayer is therefore ideal for the care of ridge and row crops and for reduced boom working widths.

AutoSelect

 

  • Control of the nozzle size in combination with the application rate means the operational speed is adapted
  • Possibility to adjust the target height in addition to the pressure range to keep up the distance required

  • Optimum distance stipulation control along waters and structures

  • Automatic adaption of the boom height depending on the defined nozzle profiles

  • Can be switched on or off comfortably in the cabin

The BoomControl extension completes the basic version with two additional sensors. The sprayer is therefore ideal for the care of ridge and row crops and for reduced boom working widths.

AutoSelect Pro: curve compensation

AutoSelect Pro

 

  • Due to 2 additional sensors, the boom actively follows the terrain
  • To increase the field of vision

  • Ideal for ridge and row crops or for reduced working widths

AutoSelect Pro takes the HORSCH nozzle control system to the next level. Due to the separate activation of the curve compensation, it is possible to combine profiles and thus increase the application rate on the outside of the curves in a targeted way when cornering. At the same time, the application rate is reduced by switching to a smaller nozzle size on the inside of the curve.

Pneumatic nozzle and section control

 

  • Individually controlled nozzles, combined pneumatically in sections
  • 6 to 42 possible sections (standard sections or individual configuration options)

  • Excellent penetration and wetting of the population

  • Optimum target area spacing with a nozzle spacing of 25 cm

  • Allows for individual and intelligent application technologies

Precision Spray

 

  • Infinitely variable adaption of the volume flow with constant pressure and drop size
  • Constant drop spectrum when using one nozzle

  • Lower number of different nozzle sizes required

  • Adaption of the application rate without changing the spraying characteristics

  • Curve compensation and VariableRate per section

  • Large nozzle bodies that are less prone to cloggings
