Precision Planting has three new
spraying technologies it said are ready to
make their commercial debut soon.
According to
Andrew Feucht
, the Product Marketing
Specialist with the Tremont, Illinois-headquartered
Precision Planting, its three new products are
ReClaim
,
Symphony
, and
Vision
.
The company develops smart products to improve
planting, liquid application, and harvesting for farms
across the world using new products capable of
being retrofitted onto current equipment, or via a new
product using a Precision Planting solution.
ReClaim is a boom recirculation system that ensures
the operator is primed with the proper combination of
products without a farmer having to test-spray it onto
the ground to check the liquid’s consistency. It saves
the operator both time and money with liquids saved.
Feucht said that ReClaim is a retro-fit product that can
be added to any sprayer and can be used with any
traditional type of nozzle.
Symphony is PWM (pulse width modulation)
controlled-nozzle system that maintains drop-put size
and pressure, according to Feucht, as speeds and
rates are changed. This will allow operators to provide
a consistent pattern on the crop.
Vision is an advanced camera system—and although
farthest away from a commercial sale, per Feucht, it’s
coming, as the company sees it as part of its see-and-
spray technology. By adding cameras to sprayers, it’s
to provide a precision-ag boom for sprayer guidance,
weed detection, crop health, and more.
