FEATURES & OPTIONS
QM420 FAN
The new patent pending QM420 fan has been optimised for canopy penetration, delivering more efficient and turbulent air.
- Dual spray ring with ten nozzle configuration
- Spray lower rates via the inner spray ring
- Medium rates via outer ring
- Higher rates utilising both rings
- Consistent spray pressure and spray droplet quality from the cab without needing to change nozzles or manual tap valves
- Sealed front fan cap to prevent water and mulch ingress
- Upgraded cowling, drive body, guards and mounting system
WIND COMPENSATION
Optimise spray efficacy and contain drift in difficult or exposed situations with optional fan speed compensation. Upwind and downwind air speed control via the in-cab Fusion Controller ensuring the correct volume of air is generated from both sides of the sprayer.
BOOM
Quantum Mist Smart Spray boom incorporate parrallelogram design to simplify folding, giving narrower parked position for road transport.
FAN FRAME
- Heavier safety breakaway design
- Coat hanger mounting bracket design allows multiple configurations
- Outer row recapture Smart Screens OR three row fan frame
- Two or three fans per frame to suit cold and warm climate vineyards
- Simple fan positioning ensuring maximum canopy penetration
