Description

When driving in curves with the sprayer, it ensures a constant application rate both in the outer and inner areas. It is possible by switching different nozzle combinations on each section by a switchable multiple nozzle holder and VARIO-SELECT. Using a GPS receiver, terminal transmits the precise position of the boom to the field sprayer job computer which determines the speed and the curve radius by means of sensors and calculates the corresponding application rate per section. The system automatically adjusts the rate on each section by switching different nozzle combinations.
