UG trailed sprayers

Simple and versatile

The AmaSpray⁺ enables simple yet fully automatic control of the UG. Switches integrated into the operator terminal enable the control of 5, 7 or 9 part-width sections. The AmaSpray⁺ has a digital pressure display and a digital tank level indicator. It records the quantity applied and area worked. The hydraulic functions are operated using the spool valves on the tractor. The boom tilt and pendulum lock are also displayed in the AmaSpray⁺. As an option, AmaSpray⁺ enables one-sided folding of the boom or, alternatively, control of the end nozzles. 

The AmaSpray+ operator terminal with a serial interface can also be used for automatic documentation (ASD) and part-area, site-specific application.

The benefits:

• Single, high-contrast, backlit screen
• Overall and part-width section on/off
• Up to 9 part-width sections
• Digital pressure indication
• Digital fill-level indicator
• Display of boom position and lock status
• Hectare meter (total and daily counter)
• +/- 10 % key
• Field record management system

Additional functions (with optional equipment):

• Pre-select fold for independent boom folding
• End or boundary nozzle on/off control (alternatively to pre-select fold)
• Fold or tilt via 1 double-acting control valve (electro-hydraulic changeover valve)
• ASD inside: serial interface for documentation and GPS terminal versatility

For boom control and steering: The ProfiClick switchbox offers the simple and precise actuation of all hydraulic functions of the booms and steering with AMAZONE crop protection implements.

It is available in combination with the electro-hydraulic “Profi-fold 1“. All the operational functions of the ProfiClick switchbox are ergonomically arranged and directly linked with that function. The potentiometer for the re-adjustment of boom tilt or for the automatic steering of a trailed sprayer can be controlled on the move without looking thanks to the detent position in the centre. So the driver can concentrate perfectly on driving.

The ProfiClick control box for operating the hydraulic functions of an AMAZONE sprayer can be combined with the AmaSpray⁺ machine terminal or any ISOBUS terminal. Thus it offers a favourable and comfortable control of the hydraulic functions via an oil circuit. On the tractor, only one single acting spool valve with a pressure-free return flow is required.

One language, many benefits!
Each ISOBUS-enabled machine from AMAZONE comes with the latest technology and almost unlimited possibilities. It makes no difference whether you use an operator terminal from AMAZONE or an ISOBUS terminal fitted directly in the tractor. ISOBUS is an internationally recognised standard for communication between the operator terminal, tractors and connected implements on the one hand and Farm Management Information Systems on the other.

Operation with a wide variety of ISOBUS terminals

Which means that ISOBUS enables you to take control of all your ISOBUS compatible equipment. You only have to connect the machine to the respective ISOBUS terminal and the usual operator interface appears on the monitor in your tractor cab.

Benefits of ISOBUS at a glance:

• International standardisation provides uniform interfaces and data formats, meaning that compatibility with other manufacturers is ensured
• Plug and Play between the machine, tractor and other ISOBUS equipment

AMAZONE machinery and operator terminals offer a range of functions which are very easy and safe to operate.

The benefits:

• Highest compatibility and safety function of your ISOBUS equipment
• No additional modules on the machine side. All ISOBUS machines from AMAZONE come ready-equipped with the necessary ISOBUS functions as standard
• Practice-oriented machine software and logical menu structure
• MiniView display with all AMAZONE terminals and additional ISOBUS terminals. See, for example, the machine data in the map view.
• Possibility of operating the machine via the tractor terminal or a twin terminal solution
• Flexible assignment of the map and machine view between the tractor terminal and the operator terminal
• Unique operation concept. Freely configurable displays and individual user interfaces for each driver
• Useful additional functions such as automatic boom lowering on AMAZONE crop protection sprayers
• Integrated Task Controller data logger function

Advantages of the AMAZONE machine software:

• User-oriented and intuitive
• Tailored to the machine
• Function scope above and beyond the ISOBUS standard

If the operating terminal features Section Control, such as, for example, GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the switching of the part-width sections can be carried out completely automatically and in relation to the GPS position. Once a field has been created, and then in automatic mode, the driver can concentrate fully on the operation of the towing vehicle, since the part-width sections are switched automatically in wedge shaped fields and on headlands.

Benefits of automatic part-width section control:

• Stress relief on the driver
• Increase in precision especially at night or at higher speeds
• Fewer overlaps and gaps
• Saving on input costs
• Less crop damage and less environmental pollution

“With Section Control, the ISOBUS computer relieves the driver from a lot of work.”
(“dlz agrar magazine” – “Test report ZA-TS fertiliser spreader”· 02/2017)

Up to 85 %* less overlap in comparison to conventional Section Control part-width section switching, e. g. on the headland

* Savings are dependent on field structure, boom width and the number of part-width sections

The decisive benefit of individual nozzle control is the possibility to operate with small part-width sections giving an even greater degree of accuracy in wedge shaped fields, short work and on the headland. If AmaSwitch or AmaSelect is combined with the automatic GPS-Switch Section Control, the automatic switching of individual nozzles in 50 cm part-width sections is made possible. With this system, areas of overlap are significantly reduced and are, in comparison with a conventional Section Control part-width section shut-off system, up to 85 % less. So, the combination of GPS-Switch and individual nozzle control results in, depending on field shape and size, the working width and number of part-width sections, significant savings in spray agent compared with a normal spraying system used thus far.

With GPS-Switch, AMAZONE offers GPS-based, fully automatic, part-width section control for all AMAZONE operator terminals and ISOBUS-compatible fertiliser spreaders, crop protection sprayers or seed drills.

GPS-Switch basic 

• Automatic part-width section control of up to 16 part-width sections

Overlaps on the headland or in wedge shaped fields are prevented via precise switching with GPS-Switch.

Special crops and bed work often require the on/off switching of the individual part-width sections in the middle of the boom. AmaClick is an additional ergonomic control unit that can be used either in conjunction with the AmaPilot⁺ multi-function joystick or also as a standalone system alongside an ISOBUS terminal.

All standard ISOBUS terminals from AMAZONE can collect and save machine and site-specific data using Task Controller. Part-area, site-specific operation via application maps in either Shape file or ISO-XML formats is also possible.
