Precision Planting, LLC, headquartered
in Tremont, Illinois, has joined the sprayer
market, setting its sights on projects that
will focus on improving the operation and
data collection of sprayers.
As a dominant player in planting technologies, this
announcement at its Winter meeting marks the
company’s first move into sprayer technology.
“Precision Planting is for farmers who Believe In Better,
and nowhere is that more apparent than at the annual
Winter Conference,” said
Bryce Baker
, marketing
manager for Precision Planting. With today’s sprayer
announcements, Precision Planting expands our focus
of challenging the status quo into crop sprayers, along
with existing lines for planters, combines, seeders, and
sidedress bars.”
While traditional sprayers require farmers or operators
to spray product to the ground to prime the width of
the boom fully with more than 50 gallons of product is
sprayed, it can cause a “hot spot” of chemicals.
Precision Planting counters with its new
ReClaim
product that is added to sprayers, to mix the chemicals
in the tank to be circulated through the booms and
back to the tank, never having to spray a drop of
chemical to the ground.
“ReClaim uses a single rocker switch in the cab
to engage recirculation, and once recirculation is
completed, farmers are ready to spray with the
correctly mixed chemical across the entire boom,”
explain Justin McMenamy, director of product,
Precision Planting. “ReClaim is designed to be retrofit
onto a farmer’s existing sprayer with electric or
standard nozzles.”
For sprayer nozzle technology, Precision Planting also
has a solution—
Symphony
.
Many sprayer nozzles have a change in pressure when
the sprayer operating speed or rate are changed,
causing a difference in droplet sizes that increases
the risk of drift or reducing leaf coverage of the
spray, resulting in reduced efficacy.
