UX Special trailed sprayer

The TG part-width valve chest with up to 13 part-width sections is available with ISOBUS control and AmaSpray⁺. The part-width boom sections are switched, on and off, quickly and drip-free via electric motor valves with pressure relief. The amount applied is accurately and directly controlled by the operator terminal for all situations. A unit with equal pressure compensation is not required with this system.

The AMAZONE DUS pressure recirculation system ensures a reliable circulation throughout the entire system. When starting the spraying operation, all the hoses including the spray lines are filled under pressure in the reverse direction with the mixed spray agent. This means the spray lines are always full and immediately ready to use over the entire working width. There is no waiting on the headland.

Every time individual part-width sections are shut off, during the turning operation and during transport, the spray liquid circulates continually thanks to the pressure recirculation system. This reliably prevents deposits, blockages or segregation in the spray lines.

During the cleaning operation, fresh water flushes the spray lines out right up to the nozzles without any spraying being necessary. During this cleaning procedure, the concentrated spray liquid is returned back to tank via the pressure recirculation system leaving the spray lines clean.

Annual average overlaps of conventional part-width sections vs 50 cm part-width sections in combination with Section Control

Important knowledge for field analysis

• Average overlap with 50 cm part-width sections only 1.92 %
• Average overlap with 9 part-width sections 7 %
• Short payback period for large farms due to annual saving potential
• Due to smaller field sizes, smaller farms save proportionally more
• When growing crops with a high crop protection demand, e.g. potatoes, sugar beet, 50 cm part-width sections are particularly cost-effective

The simple solution for automatic 50 cm part-width section switching

With AmaSwitch, AMAZONE offers the precise solution for automatic part-width section control on 50 cm sections. AmaSwitch is the ideal alternative for users who want to maximise the benefits of very precise switching in wedge shaped fields and areas of overlap, thanks to the 50 cm part-width section control.

Standard equipment with AmaSwitch includes the DUS pro high pressure recirculation system and, in addition, can be equipped with LED individual nozzle lighting.

With DUS pro, the spraying pressure is constant right up to each individual nozzle and at the set spraying pressure. Thanks to the conical spray lines, minimal residual spray volumes are achieved.

The technology behind AmaSwitch is based on a conventional, manually-rotated, 3-fold nozzle body with electric individual on/off. The opening and closing is achieved via an electric valve which is fixed directly onto the nozzle body. In conjunction with GPS-Switch, it is thus possible to very precisely control 50 cm part-width sections in short work and on the headland. In addition to the automatic switching using 50 cm part-width sections, it is possible to configure the amount of part-width sections from choice.

In addition to the 3-fold nozzle body, AmaSwitch electric single nozzle control can also be equipped with a 4-fold nozzle body.

With true 25 cm nozzle spacing
The 4-fold nozzle body enables a perfect 25 cm nozzle spacing to be achieved with the aid of the optional extension kit. This offers the benefit, in combination with specific 80° nozzles, to reduce the boom to target surface distance down to less than 50 cm.

Electric individual nozzle switching with 50 cm part-width sections

4-fold nozzle body with automatic electric nozzle switching 
The electric AmaSelect individual nozzle control consists of a 4-fold nozzle body with electric on/off control plus the additional switching over of either a nozzle or a combination of nozzles. In addition to the 50 cm part-width sections, which can be switched automatically via GPS-Switch, the system offers electrical switching between the four mounted nozzles via the operator terminal or even completely automatically if the forward speed or application rate is changed. This offers the possibility, for instance when leaving the optimum pressure range of a nozzle, to switch on a second nozzle or to changeover to a larger nozzle.

The automatic control of individual nozzles in 50 cm part-width sections is made possible by combining the AmaSelect individual nozzle control with GPS-Switch (with Section Control). This enables the amount of overlap to be considerably reduced, meaning that there is a significant saving in spray agent.

AmaSelect is equipped with the DUS pro high-pressure recirculation system and LED individual nozzle lighting as standard.

As an option, the AmaSelect nozzle body can also be equipped with an off-set kit giving 25 cm nozzle spacing. This offers the benefit in combination with specific 80° or 90° nozzles of reducing the boom to target surface distance to less than 50 cm. 

AmaSelect enables any number of part-width sections with any number of nozzles to be freely configured. So for farmers or agricultural contractors with different tramline systems, a simple matching of the nozzle switching with the relevant working width is possible.
