Air-Assisted Sprayers
Electrostatic Spraying Systems now manufactures boom sprayers using the MaxCharge system for a wide variety of crops. The newest and most powerful models are the K-450 series, which takes the place of the company’s previous 88A models. These newly modeled sprayers produce electrically charged spray droplets that are carried onto the plant canopy in a high-speed air stream. The charged droplets seek out plant material by electrostatic forces, resulting in uniform spray coverage. The high-flow MaxCharge electrostatic nozzles are capable of higher liquid flow rates and increased air-assist power for penetration into dense canopy crops. One tank can cover 30 acres or more. The K-450 series is available with 40 to 72 nozzles on booms from 36 to 66 feet in length.

Jacto’s Falcon Vortex tractor mounted sprayer with a 46-foot boom, and the Advance Vortex 3000 trailed sprayer with a 60-foot boom are now available. The Falcon Vortex air assist boom sprayer is a three-point hitch, 160-gallon-capacity boom sprayer. The Advance Vortex air-assist boom sprayer is trailer-mounted and has an 800-gallon capacity. Both units displace air around a crop with the spray solution suspended in high-speed vortex air.

Speed Sprayer
John Bean‘s Model 5115 CPD Speed Sprayer has a 500-gallon stainless-steel tank whose unique mechanical agitation operates as long as the engine is running. There is also a stainless steel chemical pre-mix basket in the tank neck. The axial flow eight-bladed fan is constructed of high strength reinforced fiberglass polyamide. Vanes are placed to straighten air and increase volume in 45° area of air pattern. The 5115 is powered by a John Deere Tier 2 4045T, 275 cubic inch (4.5 liter) in-line 4 cylinder diesel, 115 HP that comes with a 2-year warranty. The engine, located in front of the spray tank, is coupled to fan via centrifugal clutch. There are 10 John Bean turnover nozzles with check valves on each side, and the unit is equipped with a dust and trash guard sufficient for operating in normal conditions.
