AmaSelect CurveControl

Optimised application when driving round bends

Constant application rate
AmaSelect CurveControl offers a precise solution for keeping the application rate as constant as possible across the whole of the working width when driving round bends. The CurveControl function is equipped as standard in conjunction with AmaSelect and the ContourControl active boom guidance.

The problem: over- or under-application when negotiating bends
In the past, the distribution of plant protection products when driving round bends has led to an over-application on the inside of the bend and an under-application on the outside of the bend. The problem increases with increasing boom widths. Over-applying on the inside of the boom must be viewed more critically, as potential overdose levels of more than 300% are possible.

The solution – AmaSelect CurveControl 

The operation of the system is supplemented by a useful function specifically for bends in the form of CurveControl for the AmaSelect electric single nozzle control. In addition to the nozzle pressure, CurveControl uses sensors to determine the curve radius and automatically calculates the pressure adjustment for the changed flow rate. The system then balances the application rate in the boom independently of the part-width section by means of automatic nozzle changing in the boom. 

Benefits of AmaSelect CurveControl: 

• Virtually uniform application rates when negotiating bends over the entire working width
• Optimum crop management
• Prevention of resistance caused by under-dosing
