General
Chassis
The chassis is an all steel construction, that is fully
welded for superior strength. The chassis is grit
blasted, primed and then protected by the Goldacres
paint process for excellent chemical resistance and
durability.

Tank
All tanks are constructed from UV resistant
polyethylene. Polyethylene tanks have a very high
chemical resistance. Due to the rotational moulding
process, there can be variance in the overall
dimensions of the tank which in turn results in
5-10% variation in the tank capacity. For this reason,
calibration markings should be used as a guide only.
Agitation
The Supermix agitator is located at the back of the
tank and is used to generate increased agitation
within the tank. The pressure line to the Supermix
agitator from the control manifold passes through a
nozzle and then through the barrel into the tank. This
causes extra agitation as flow around the agitator is
sucked into the barrel and is then passed back into

the tank. To increase this venturi effect, the bypass
flow from the electric regulating valve also passes
through the barrel, multiplying the agitation effect.
The Supermix agitator has an approximate capacity
of 300 - 1300 L/min depending of the pump size and
operating pressure. For further information refer to
Chapter 10 'Lubrication & Maintenance'.
Spray Controller
In cab section control with electric pressure
regulation is fitted as standard to 1500-2500 L
sprayers. The 3000 L sprayers are supplied standard
with a Raven SCS450 automatic rate controller or
an optional ISOBUS connector with no console.
Automatic rate controllers will maintain a user
defined application rate automatically as the vehicle
speed changes. In order to function, the automatic
rate controller relies on a flow meter, speed sensor
and control valve. For specific information on the
Raven controller please refer to Raven operator's
manual supplied and Chapter 6 'Calibration' of this
manual.
Boom Nozzle Control
Motorised boom valves for control of boom section
on/off function are fitted as standard. These are
mounted on the boom centre section at the rear of
the sprayer.
