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 quickly switched on and off without drips via electric motor valves with pressure relief. The amount applied is accurately and directly controlled by the operator terminal for all situations. An equal pressure compensation system 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 across the entire working width. There is no waiting on the headland.

Every time individual part-width sections are shut off when turning and during transport, the spray agent continues to circulate 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 agent is returned back to tank via the pressure recirculation system leaving the spray lines clean.

Calculated example:
Annual average overlap 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 larger farms due to the annual potential savings
• Due to smaller field sizes, smaller farms save proportionally more
• When growing crops with a high demand on crop protection (e.g. potatoes, beet), the 50 cm part-width section control is particularly cost-effective

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

AmaSwitch plus includes DUS pro high-pressure recirculation system as standard and can also be equipped with individual nozzle LED lighting.

As in the case of DUS, the spray pressure in DUS pro is constant up to the individual nozzle and remains at the pre-set spray pressure. In addition, minimal residual spray volumes are achieved thanks to the conical spray lines.

The AmaSwitch plus technology is based on a conventional manual-rotating triple nozzle body with electric switching on and off of each individual nozzle. Opening and closing is achieved via an electric valve which is mounted directly on the nozzle body. In conjunction with GPS-Switch, the 50 cm part-width sections can therefore be switched very precisely in wedge shaped fields and on the headland. In addition to the automatic switching using 50 cm part-width sections, it is also possible to configure the desired number of part-width sections from choice.

In addition to the triple nozzle body, the AmaSwitch plus electric individual nozzle switching can also be equipped with a quad nozzle body. 

The quad nozzle body enables genuine 25 cm nozzle spacing to be achieved with the aid of the optional off-set kit. This offers the benefit, in combination with special 80 degree nozzles, of reducing the boom to target surface distance down to less than 50 cm.

The electric AmaSelect individual nozzle control consists of a quad nozzle body with electric on/off control and, additionally, the remote changeover of the 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 fully-automatically when the forward speed or application rate changes. 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 special 80 degree nozzles, of reducing the target area distance down 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.
