New suspended sprayers Amazone UF 1002 and UF 1302

24.06.2020

AMAZONE expands its range of suspended sprayers UF 02 with two new product types. UF 1002 and UF 1302 have the nominal capacity of 1000 and 1300 litres, and the actual capacity of 1100 and 1400 litres, respectively.

Both types can be used with horizontally folded field beams Q-plus of 12 to 15 meters, or with vertically folded beans Super S1 or S2, of a working width ranging from 15 to 30 meters. Thus, the complete UF 02 series includes tanks of capacities from 1000 to 2000 litres. The well-known types of suspended sprayers, UF 901 and UF 1201 from the middle price segment will remain in the range.

New UF 1002 and 1302 sprayers are equipped with a specially formed polyethylene tank, with an optimised centre of gravity. The very compact tank allowed to reduce to minimum a distance between connection points on bottom levers and a field beam. A system of quick joining enables fast and safe assembling and disassembling, despite the small distance. Before work, a standard system of parking supports must be unlocked on the outside, and the supports slid automatically into a working position under the tank.

The control SmartCenter is used to manage the circulation of spray liquid. It is secured against contamination and splashes with a tilt guard on the left side of the machine. An efficient 60-litre induction bowl is located centrally, near all important operating components. Its conical shape and highly efficient suction ensure fast, smooth and complete emptying. A mixing nozzle installed in the drain and an efficient ring line ensure smooth and easy induction of granulates, such as magnesium sulphate. Clean water is always available in the induction bowl during suction and pressure filling. With the specially designed 7-way pressure valve, the rinsing water tank can also be filled during suction filling. The machine is also equipped with a dust-tight compartment for personal protection equipment, located above the induction bowl.

An optional Comfort package is offered for remote operation and automated liquid circulation. It includes automatic stopping of filling from a suction hose and, optionally, also of pressure filling. During spraying, the stirrer is adjusted automatically, depending on the level of tank filling. To prevent formation of foam, the stirrer operating rate decreases with the decreasing level of the fluid, until it is stopped completely. Furthermore, the package includes automated dynamic adjustment of the stirrer. When a large amount of liquid in the field beam is required, the mixing intensity is temporarily reduced. When all sprayers on the cross-beam are closed, the stirrer operates with a full speed. The Comfort package enables fully automated washing after work, which can be operated remotely from the tractor cabin. Additionally, UF 02 sprayer can be equipped with a device for continuous rinsing of its interior.

 

Various spraying lines with sectional TG fixtures, and with single or triple sprayer bodies (Q-plus, Super-S1 and Super-S2 beams) are available for the field beams. In the Super-S1 and Super-S2 beams, switching of the section width can be combined with the DUS liquid circulation system. For the field beam Super-S1 and the AmaSwitch system with triple or quadruple bodies, Amazone also offers electric LED lighting for every sprayer and the standard DUS pro. For the quadruple AmaSwich body, a set of extensions for the sprayer span of 25 cm is also available. Its special advantage is the fact that the set of extensions for the sprayer spacing of 25 cm can always be left on the machine. A set of extensions can also be used for drag hoses.

To increase the capacity by 1000 or 1500 litres, the UF 1002 and 1003 sprayers can be used with a front tank FT 1001 or FT 1002. The FlowControl+ function ensures a full integration of the front tank with the liquid circulation in the suspended sprayer. During filling and work, the liquid circulation between the front and the rear tanks is fully automated. Therefore, the driver works in the same way as with one tank.
