Low centre of gravity
The design of the UX tanks along with the compact AMAZONE booms ensure a low centre of gravity and very compact transport dimensions. In addition, the booms, even when folded, are optimally protected in transport via the sprung parallelogram boom frame.

Tank of the single-axle UX Super
The compact spray agent tank, which is made from polyethylene, is especially secure, light and long lasting. The absolutely smooth inner and outer walls with rounded corners and no nooks and crannies allow quick and easy cleaning. Residual spray volumes are kept at a minimum due to the specific shape of the tank sump. The UX Super trailed sprayers have a 580 l fresh water tank and storage compartment.

Tank on the UX 11201 Super
The GRP spray agent tank has a low centre of gravity and compact dimensions. The optimum geometry means that only minimal residual spray volumes remain in the tank. The smooth inside walls of the tank facilitate fast and easy cleaning. The two fresh water tanks with a nominal capacity of 900 l are mounted between the mudguards at an equal distance from the centre of gravity.

Cleaning systems
Three high-performance, rotating nozzles clean the spray agent tank internally. Short pipe runs and hose cross-sectional areas as small as possible make for low residual volumes.

Stepless hydraulic main agitator
The intensity of the hydraulic agitator can be steplessly reduced down to nothing in order to avoid any foaming of the crop protection agent or to facilitate spraying out the remaining tank contents.

Exceptional internal sprayer cleaning with the XtremeClean intensive cleaner

The intensive cleaning system consists of four spot jet nozzles which have been fitted on to an electrically rotating nozzle head. These high-pressure nozzles are guided positively round via an electric motor and, via the spot jets, systematically treat the total internal wall area of the tank. The high impact energy of this jet reliably loosens any spray deposits – even without the use of chemical cleaning additives.

• Optional for all single-axle UX Super trailed sprayers

Tandem pump system – high-performance and reliability
The UX Super is equipped with a low-maintenance tandem pump system. While one pump supplies the boom and the secondary agitator during spraying, the other pump vigorously agitates the tank contents via the main agitator. During the filling procedure at a nominal pump speed, the full pump capacity is available for filling the spray agent tank. At the same time, either the contents of the induction bowl can be drawn out via the venturi or the total fill capacity can be increased up to 900 l/min.

Benefits of a piston diaphragm pump:

• Simple handling due to its self-priming capability at the 
• start of the filling procedure
• Very high, consistent application rates with system pressures of up to 10 bar 
• Can run dry and is liquid-fertiliser proof 
• Long service life

High application rates thanks to HighFlow⁺
The UX Super's intelligent control technology enables both pumps to be used for spraying while maintaining a high agitation capacity. If the usual maximum of 200 l/min at the spray line is not enough, the liquid flow created by the agitator pump is also automatically used in conjunction with the HighFlow+ option as and when required until the desired application rate is reached. The remaining capacity of the agitation pump continues to be used for agitating the liquid in the spray agent tank.  All components within the HighFlow+ system are completely integrated into the cleaning cycle of the UX Super.

Examples with HighFlow⁺

1) Second pressure filter
2) Drain tap for pressure filter

The tandem pump is driven via a wide-angle PTO shaft as standard or via a hydraulic pump as an option. The hydraulic pump drive works independently of the engine revs at a constant, smooth speed.

SmartCenter centralised operator station – including the induction bowl

The SmartCenter centralised operator station means that operation has never been so easy and comfortable. The SmartCenter with the induction bowl and the complete operator station including filling connections for suction and pressure filling are conveniently located centrally at the front and protected by the left-hand cover. The hood prevents dirt ingress and provides easy accessibility.

High performance and efficient

The 60 litre induction bowl is located directly in front of the operator controls. The conical form of the bowl with central outlet and an enormous suction rate of up to 200 l/min ensures fast and flawless filling and complete emptying.

Advantages of the induction bowl:

• Suction rate of up to 200 l/min – for fast and trouble-free filling and complete emptying 
• Infinitely variable mixing nozzle – prevents any blockages of powdery and granular spray agents
• Infinitely variable high-capacity rinse ring
• The induction bowl can also be supplied with fresh water via an optional fresh water pump even when pressure filling from a bowser
• Induction bowl lid as a practical work area with integrated drain-off device
• Canister rinse nozzle with practical pressure plate for cleaning the measuring jug and canisters
• Small contact area on the canister rinse nozzle where the nozzle can be activated for cleaning the canister neck

”Also other little details help during the cleaning procedure, such as the possibility to be able to flush the induction bowl with fresh water when pressure filling.”

"The robust lid not only serves as a storage area for the measuring jug or as a shelf for Bitter salt bags, but also features supports to enable the rinsed canisters to drain – exemplary” ("profi" - Practice test Amazone UX 5201 Super - 10/2017)

The UX Super is operated mainly via the suction and pressure taps in the case of the Standard-Pack. The suction tap position determines from where the pump is going to draw from and, correspondingly, the pressure tap indicates as to where the spray liquid will be pushed.

The benefits:

• Easy access to the suction filter and the self-cleaning pressure filter 
• Self-explanatory operator controls ensure safe handling 
• Short filling times thanks to the high-performance 60 litre induction bowl and a suction capacity of up to 200 litres/min 
• Homogeneous spray agent mixture thanks to the standard mixing nozzle in the bottom of the induction bowl  
• 7-way pressure tap with seat valve technology ensures easy operation and safe filling

7-way pressure tap – safe switching with cam and seat valves

All sprayers with the Standard-Pack and Comfort-Pack are equipped with the extremely practical 7-way pressure valve. As opposed to a normal pressure tap, the in-house developed valve from AMAZONE consists of a cam and seat valves. The respective liquid circuits are reliably opened or closed exclusively by swivelling the handle on the pressure tap in and out.

The operating elements for Standard-Pack on the UX Super
1) Induction bowl
2) Control tap for pressure / 7-way pressure tap
3) Control tap for venturi 
4) Control tap for secondary agitator
5) Control tap for main agitator 
6) Control tap for suction valve 
7) Control tap for fill port for fresh water tank 

In conjunction with Comfort-Pack, the TwinTerminal 3.0 is also utilised. Also, in addition, automatic fill stop for the suction fill is also included and, as an option, fill stop is also available when filling under pressure from a bowser. During application, the intensity of the agitation is regulated depending on the tank fill level. As the fill level decreases, the agitation capacity is automatically reduced down until it is completely switched off preventing the formation of foam at low tank volumes. In addition, the automatic agitation regulation offers auto-dynamic agitator control. This means: the auxiliary agitator is closed when a higher application rate is required at the boom. 

After the spraying operation is finished, Comfort-Pack provides fully automatic cleaning which can be controlled completely remotely from the tractor cab. Additional functions such as boom rinsing, cleaning the spray liquid circuit against heavy deposits or a defined dilution of a subsequent tank mix in the field are also included within Comfort-Pack.

The benefits:

• Operator-friendly TwinTerminal 3.0 for suction valve control 
• No foaming of the spray agent due to the automatic fill-level dependent control and switching off of the agitator 
• Always maximum capacity when spraying and agitating thanks to the auto-dynamic agitator control  
• Comfortable filling of the spray agent and fresh water tanks via the automatic fill stop  
• Remote-controlled, automatic cleaning programs for the complete sprayer wash-out

The operating elements for Comfort-Pack on the UX Super
1) Induction bowl
2) Control tap for pressure / 7-way pressure tap
3) Control tap for venturi
4) TwinTerminal 3.0
5) Display for suction valve 
6) Control tap for fill port for spray agent tank 
7) Control tap for fill port for fresh water tank

Operation with maximum comfort

TwinTerminal 7.0 with pressure-sensitive touchscreen 
Handling is made especially comfortable by Comfort-Pack plus. Instead of operating taps, TwinTerminal 7.0 makes machine operation much easier with its pressure-sensitive touchscreen. The complete control of the spray agent circuit is carried out solely via the pressure-sensitive touch screen which functions perfectly even when wearing gloves. The operator only has to select the desired function and the sprayer adjusts itself automatically. 

In the job computer, two individual filling profiles for different operators or applications can be stored. Then only the hose has to be coupled for filling, and the machine automatically fills the spray agent tank and fresh water tank up to the desired tank fill level. As an option, the operator can select individually an adjustable pause in the filling of the spray agent tank.

Automatic and independent cleaning

The complete sprayer along with the induction bowl can be cleaned fully automatically. For this purpose, the UX Super with the Comfort-Pack plus is equipped with the following cleaning programmes: intensive clean, quick clean and boom rinsing. In addition, after every fill, the induction bowl rinses itself on its own.

Fresh water pump – Continuous internal cleaning
In conjunction with Comfort-Pack plus and a load-sensing system, an optional 160 l/min capacity fresh water pump is available. This can be used to supply the induction bowl with fresh water from the fresh water tank during bowser filling. If a fresh water pump is specified, the fresh water tank and the spray agent tank can be filled in parallel via the suction hose. The additional fresh water pump also allows quicker cleaning of the UX Super.

The benefits:

• Simple operation: Choose the function and the machine adjusts everything fully automatically
• Maximum comfort: Automatic filling and automatic fill stop for both suction and bowser filling
• Maximum safety: Fully automatic cleaning of the entire machine including induction bowl
• Maximum capacity: Automatic quick fill via the venturi when the chemical induction is completed
• Auto-dynamic agitation control

The operating elements for Comfort-Pack plus on the UX Super
1) Induction bowl
2) TwinTerminal 7.0
3) Control tap for fill port for fresh water tank

”With very clear graphics for the tank, connections and liquid circuits, the operator is guided through the filling menus for the fresh water tank, spray agent tank and induction bowl – unique“

"The touch display - which can even be operated with gloves (!) - is ingenious.” ("profi" - Practice test Amazone UX 5201 Super · 10/2017)

Why use DirectInject?

The demands on farmers and technology are constantly increasing with regard to plant protection. Flexibility in the selection of plant protection agents in the field becomes an increasingly important point here. From a plant establishment perspective, the needs-based application of specific products and active ingredients only in sections or on individual fields is a frequent response. There are also restrictions relating to protection-sensitive fields and bodies of water which farming must consider when selecting the appropriate plant protection agents. 

System overview

DirectInject from AMAZONE is a system for the direct injection of plant protection agents. These can be injected or stopped during application as required. The special feature of DirectInject compared to conventional systems is the fast
response time of the injection process and its complete integration in the spray agent circuit and operation of the sprayer. DirectInject consists of an additional 50 l tank with its own metering system, which is integrated into the storage compartment of the UX 01 Super on the right-hand side of the machine. The integration of these components in the storage compartment also provides optimum protection for all the equipment.

The advantages at a glance:

• Flexible, fast and needs-based use of plant protection agents 
• Optimised crop canopy
• Environmentally-friendly
• Saving on:
  - Working time and labour costs
  - Machine costs
  - Plant protection agents

Application in the field

If the driver of the sprayer notices weeds, for instance, that need to be controlled in a specific part-area, DirectInject can be activated from the cab at the touch of a button. The supplementary product taken from the DirectInject tank, which is integrated into the storage compartment, is then added to the spray agent from the main spray agent tank in the mixing chamber. The optimised reaction time compared to conventional systems is achieved by a twin-line system. Pre-mixed spray agent from the spray agent tank and the plant protection agent from the DirectInject tank are held in a second spray line in the boom. When the direct feed system is activated, the mixture is supplied to the nozzle bodies via several injection points on the boom and applied. This guarantees minimal reaction times. In this regard, the valve for the spray agent from the spray agent tank and the valve for the second spray line with the pre-mixed DirectInject agent are switched alternately, meaning that spray agent is only taken from one line at any time.
