Spraytronic With spraying, the main problem of current systems is the limited working speed range to ensure a good spray quality. Beyond that, the drops are either too fine (dispersion) or too large (flow). In addition to the limited working speed range when used with intra-plot dosage adjustment, it also limits the possible dosage range for the plot. To address this problem, BERTHOUD offers an optional new feature for the VANTAGE trailed sprayers and the RAPTOR self-propelled sprayers: frequency spraying thanks to solenoid valves placed on each nozzle.

SPRAYTRONIC: frequency spraying

Concept: spray varied at nozzle level

The SPRAYTRONIC is a device that allows you to vary the flow of the mixture while preserving the pressure and thus the size of the droplets.

Depending on the forward speed, a solenoid valve on each nozzle disperses the spray. The ratio between the opening and closing time varies depending on the speed variation at a fixed frequency. Simply put, the nozzle opens and closes 20 times per second. The variation in the flow of the spray is accomplished by varying the opening time within an opening/closing cycle. It’s works on an easy-to-use principle: the user simply selects the nozzle to be used, the operating pressure and the volume per hectare.

SPRAYTRONIC thus makes it possible to vary the flow of a nozzle by 70%, and consequently the working speed, without changing the operating pressure.   

The pulsating spray nozzles also stand out from other models by opening the way for flow cut-offs and for nozzle-by-nozzle modulation.

 

Advantages: “Use the same 3 bar nozzle from 8 to 18 km/h”

One nozzle is all you need: No need to amass a large number of nozzles as we can cover a large majority of needs with a single nozzle, thus greatly limiting usage costs.

Optimum quality: No pressure jumps due to nozzle changes and option to control the function by entering a desired operating pressure

A standard nozzle holder: Use of a standard nozzle holder is also an option. This helps to broaden your reach without having to change the nozzle.

Option to cut-off the flow nozzle by nozzle
