5HORIZONTAL BOOMS FOR HERBACIOUS CULTIVATIONS

5.2HYDRAULIC HERBICIDE BOOMS

These are made in of steel painted with epoxy paint or hot galvanised. The jet booms are made of stainless steel with the jets mounted normally ever 50 cm.

All of the booms are folded onto the central body and the external arms have safety joints to prevent breakages.

In the case of a knock the boom bends to avoid the obstacle and normally re- turns to the working position automatically. In any case the operator should try to avoid knocking against objects as this could damage both the boom and the obstacle in time; all the more so if the two elements get stuck. Check that no one and nothing is in the area where the booms will open; par- ticular attention should be paid to the presence of any electric power lines. The hydraulic plant can be fed from the hydraulic pump of the tractor or be fully independent.

-The hydraulics are controlled by a hydraulic distributor with mechanical or electro-hydraulic controls and switches in the cabin.

-All of the controls on both versions are sustained action controls and each lever or switch has a pictogram of the relevant operation it controls.

See the enclosed handbook for instructions on the use of the electrohydraulic version (Elettroil).

WARNING: with hydraulic booms, don’t stand in the range of action of the machine.

Pay attention to the integrity and efficiency of the hydraulic components and in particular to the pipes to prevent the risk of bursting.

Do a full check on the pipes and components at least once a year, we recommend replacing hydraulic pipes every 3-4 years.

5.1.1 INDIPENDENT HYDRAULIC PLANT

In this case there is a tank, a filter and a hydraulic pump fitted with a flange behind the main pump of the sprayer.

IMPORTANT:The entire plant is designed to be used at 540 RPM. Periodically check the oil level in the tank and avoid filling it over 3/4 full as the oil might overflow.

The tank has a filler cap with a breather, when the need arises (for repairs or to replace a component) you can drain the oil by disconnecting the suction pipe of the pump and collecting the oil in a recipient.

WARNING: the oil used mustn’t be dispersed in the environment and must be collected in the relevant containers.

5.1.2 OIL FEED FROM TRACTOR

Consult the use and maintenance manual of the tractor.

Connect the delivery and discharge quick-fit coupling to the respective connections, respecting the direction of flow.

=On booms that have a direct connection to the quick-fit couplings, each pair of couplings feeds a cylinder.

=For booms equipped with EDR electro-deviators, follow the diagram of the couplings supplied.

=For manual or electric distributors (Elettroil), the distributor inlet pipe is connected to the aluminium flow separator valve next to the distributor (see photo).

The flow separator must be adjusted correctly so it send less than 4-5 L/1° to the distributor.

To prevent the cylinders moving at a dangerous speed, adjust the relevant chokes near the cylinders. If the registration ring nuts aren’t visible then fixed chokes are fitted. The chokes are fitted on the discharge line of the movement to slow.

Any impurities in the oil could block the chokes and as a consequence block the cylinder; remove the dirt if necessary.

The maximum pressure valves of the distributors are regulated to a pressure of around 150 bar.

CAMPO 11 - 16 - 22 - 32, DSP 11 - 16 - 22 - 32 specifications

Unigreen DSP Series and CAMPO Series are advanced agricultural sprayers designed to meet the evolving needs of modern farming. The Unigreen DSP (Dynamic Spraying Product) models 11, 16, 22, and 32, along with the CAMPO models of the same specifications, are engineered for efficiency, precision, and reliability in crop protection.

One of the key features of the Unigreen DSP models is their innovative spraying technology. Each model is equipped with a high-capacity tank that allows for extended operation without the need for frequent refills. The DSP series incorporates adjustable booms that provide precise application across various crop types. This ensures uniform coverage and minimizes waste, making it an environmentally friendly option for farmers.

The CAMPO series also boasts similar tank capacities and boom adjustments, making them suitable for diverse agricultural applications. Both series offer customizable options, allowing farmers to choose the configuration that best fits their land and crop requirements.

Another standout characteristic of both Unigreen and CAMPO sprayers is their user-friendly interface. Equipped with advanced electronic controls, farmers can easily monitor and adjust spray rates, pressure, and other critical parameters in real time. This technology not only enhances the sprayers' operational efficiency but also aids in achieving the optimum application rates for different pesticides and fertilizers.

Furthermore, both series integrate cutting-edge GPS technology, enabling precision agriculture practices. This feature allows operators to map their fields, ensuring that every inch is accurately treated, while also reducing the possibility of overlap or missed areas. This precision application reduces chemical usage and ultimately leads to cost savings.

Durability is another primary focus in the design of the Unigreen DSP and CAMPO sprayers. Built with high-quality materials that can withstand harsh environmental conditions, these sprayers promise longevity and consistent performance over time.

In summary, Unigreen DSP and CAMPO models 11, 16, 22, and 32 are technologically advanced agricultural sprayers that combine efficiency, precision, and durability. With features such as adjustable booms, advanced electronic controls, and GPS technology, they cater to the diverse needs of today’s farmers, helping to enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impact. These sprayers are positioned to play a pivotal role in the future of sustainable agriculture.
