Imagine if your sprayer spent less time filling, and more time in the field doing what it was designed to do?

That is the goal of PhiBer Manufacturing’s DASH sprayer trailers. Farms.com learned more about the DASH spayer at Canada's Farm Show.

DASH trailers are created to speed up your fill time and make sure that your sprayer spends more time spraying than it does idling.

The DASH trailers can include up to 4 inductors that each store a different chemical. One inductor will mix and unload into a sprayer within 15 seconds.

Altogether, four inductors can fill a 1200-gallon sprayer in less than four minutes!

As the chemical is loaded into the sprayer, it is mixed and rinsed. The rinsing process utilizes a second rinse head that ensures there is no residue left in the inductor and you are not wasting any chemical.

PhiBer Manufacturing has designed the inductors to be filled by gravity feed; however, air pump solutions are also available for the option to fill the inductors from the deck.

PhiBer offers a variety of standard sized DASH trailers; however, they are no stranger to customization. PhiBer Manufacturing specializes in customized trailers to guarantee that each trailer fits the unique needs of your farm. For example, they will even work with you to upgrade a trailer you already own.

Video: Five Confirmed New World Screwworm Cases Raise Alarm for Livestock and Pet Owners

Pat Hoffman, Swine Technical Consultant and Elanco Animal Health tells us about the inpact or New World Screwworm. The emergence of New World screwworm in the U.S. creates a threat for veterinarians, livestock producers and pet owners that has not been seen north of the Florida Keys since the fly was eradicated from the United States more than 50 years ago. New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) larvae feed on living tissue and can affect a wide range of warm-blooded animals, including livestock, companion animals, wildlife, and even humans.
“New World screwworm could have a devastating impact on animal health, welfare, and producer livelihoods,” said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO, Elanco Animal Health. “We want to thank the FDA, EPA and USDA, for all their work to prepare for this threat. We’re committed to supporting our customers during this challenging time by delivering innovation, scientific expertise, and available resources to help treat New World screwworm and support the health and well-being of animals.”
Elanco is working alongside the U.S. animal health industry to help them fight against this parasite, offering a portfolio of options for pets and livestock that can help treat New World screwworm larvae infestations.
