Precise switching with 50 cm 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 plus or AmaSelect is combined with the automatic GPS-Switch part-width Section Control, automatic switching of individual nozzles in 50 cm part-width sections is 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.
If the operator terminal facilitates Section Control, such as GPS-Switch part-width section control from AMAZONE, the part-width sections are activated 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.
Advantages of the 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
