PRODUCT FEATURES/FAMILIARISATION

TIERED SPRAYING

Dual spray rings make it possible to achieve a greater
application rate spectrum, more consistent spray pressures,
reduces nozzle changes & helps eliminate off target spray
drift via 3 Tier spraying.
• Tier1 / Low rates = Inner rings ON / Outer rings OFF.
• Tier 2 / Medium rates = Inner rings OFF / Outer rings
ON.
• Tier 3 / High rates = Inner & Outer rings ON.
All sections are activated via in cab Fusion screen
& Joystick control.

Note; Smart Sprayers are using the convention of:
• The smaller / inside spray ring uses the smaller nozzles.
• The larger / outer spray ring uses the bigger nozzles.
Note both rings use the same diameter stainless steel tube,
it's the circumference of the ring that's smaller or larger.
Operators can change nozzles to suits their specific
requirements – it might be the same nozzle on every spray
ring, or it might be a specialist nozzle on either of the spray
rings. The choices are never-ending.
Photo 1 shows inlet (top) and outlet (tap at the bottom) of
the outer / larger diameter spray ring. To the inside shows
the inner spray ring which has similar connections on the
opposite side.
