Make precision spraying child's play

At a time where finding and retaining competent operators is increasingly difficult, equipping your team with a sprayer that is simple and fast to set up, is easy to operate, and contributes to their well-being and safety can make your business the employer of choice. The auto rate control system that is installed on all FMR sprayers removes the risk of under or over application by adjusting the system output based on the speed the sprayer is travelling at, ensuring your crop is receiving exactly the amount of spray you want.

The tangential fans on the FMR sprayers are very quiet, reducing noise levels not only for your operators but also for your neighbours.

It’s not just noise, traditional airblast sprayers are renowned for the clouds of off-target spray drift they produce. Operators are concerned for their safety as are those living or working nearby. The tangential fans on the FMR produce a complete ‘curtain’ of air from top to bottom, and this curtain is delivering spray precisely into the target zone, not blasting through it or beyond it. In further advancement, the optional ‘Bias Control’ system allows the tangential fans to operate at different speeds to allow for cross-winds, pushing more air volume ‘against the wind’ and less ‘into’ the wind and is simply ‘flipped’ or reversed with a single button push when turning at the headland.

Effective disease control is achieved with an even coverage of spray being applied to all surfaces of the target. High-pressure ‘jets’ of air can cause leaves to thatch and prevent access, leading to areas being missed and potentially allowing pests or diseases to establish on unprotected surfaces. The curtain of air emitting from the tangential fan is already spinning or turbulent as it exits the fan, creating leaf movement and allowing an even coverage to all surfaces to achieve excellent control of pests and disease.

Every successful orchard is conscious of addressing waste, especially wasted time. Stopping the sprayer to return and refill can be highly time-consuming and have a real impact on the number of hectares that can be sprayed in a day. The FMR O1 offers increased tank capacity to allow your team to spray for longer on every tank. Real operational savings that go directly to your bottom line.
