WARNING: using the taps on the pump or in any case on the front of the machine puts the operator near the cardan shaft. Despite the presence of CE standard protective covers you should take great care.

4.10 FILLING THE TANK

The machines for defensive crop treatments, in consideration of the safety of persons, animals and the protection of the environment, must only be filled indirectly from open water courses and only by free-falling water from the waterworks.

The pipe used for filling must never come into contact with the liquid inside the tank and therefore the water must always fall over the upper edge of the filling inlet and through the filter installed on it.

The tank is fitted with a transparent graduated band that shows the exact quantity of liquid inside. This reading is precise if the tank is on flat ground; the actual total capacity coincides with the highest number. All the filling systems fitted by Unigreen on their production machines or on request are antipollution and stop the liquid overflowing out of the tank.

a)FILLING WITH THE SUCTION FILTER (Fig. 10 - Fig. 11).

If the 3-way deviator isn’t fitted you can fill the tank using the coupling on the cover of the suction filter. Unscrew the rear wing nut of the filter and using a G1"1/2 threaded union, connect pipe T with the floating filter to the coupling. Also in this case the filling speed in litres/minute is equal to the delivery of the pump.

b)FILLING WITH THE ANTIPOLLUTION EJECTOR (Fig. 12)

If you are filling with an antipollution hydroejector (mounted as standard on some models) then you should proceed as follows:

=put roughly 20-30 L of water in the tank and start the pump.

=remove the cap of ejector E and insert filling pipe T.

=place the other end of the hose, on which you fitted filter G, in the watering point.

=open the tap that supplies the ejector (on pump P or pressure regulator C).

=increase the pressure until it reaches a value which is sufficient to suck up the liquid.

=visually check the level of the liquid inside the tank and after filling disconnect pipe T from the ejector, close the tap and replace the cap.

4.11 TEST WITH CLEAN WATER

It is good practice to do a test with clean water (without chemical product in the tank) before the first treatment to make sure the atomiser is working properly and to get to know the controls. For instructions on how to proceed with the treatment see the chapter SPRAYING.

4.12 MIXING

The active principle can be mixed using the relevant stirrers before and during the treatment. Correct mixing and stirring is the basis of the correct distribution on the crops. We recommend some useful accessories such as the premixer for powders and liquids (see the following paragraph).

To mix the product in the tank proceed as follows:

AP APC, DEVIL, serie EOLO, EXPO, SIRIO specifications

Unigreen is recognized for its innovative agricultural machinery, particularly in the realm of spraying technology. Among its flagship products are the SIRIO, EXPO, DEVIL, AP APC, and the EOLO series, each designed to cater to the diverse needs of modern-day farming.

The SIRIO line is particularly lauded for its versatility and efficiency. This series is engineered for precision application, equipped with advanced GPS technology that allows for automatic section control. The ability to adjust spray patterns and flow rates in real-time ensures minimal waste and optimal coverage, which translates to both economic and environmental benefits. Its durable construction also promises longevity, making it a reliable choice for farmers looking for investment-worthy equipment.

The EXPO series is tailored for open-field spraying. It boasts an impressive working width and can cover large areas quickly. The EXPO's multifunctional design includes a user-friendly interface, allowing operators to monitor and adjust performance easily. This model emphasizes user comfort and safety, featuring advanced anti-drip systems to minimize environmental impact during operation.

Next, the DEVIL is particularly noteworthy for its compact design and agility. Ideal for vineyards and orchards, the DEVIL allows for precise application in constrained spaces, facilitating detailed and targeted treatments. Its lightweight build ensures easy maneuverability without sacrificing power, and the robust motor guarantees consistent performance.

The AP APC series stands out for its multi-purpose functionality. This range is designed to perform well under diverse environmental conditions, making it suitable for various crops. The addition of a high-capacity tank allows for extended working hours without frequent refills, enhancing productivity. Furthermore, its low-center-of-gravity design improves stability on uneven terrains.

Lastly, the EOLO series showcases Unigreen's commitment to eco-friendliness. These machines feature low-drift nozzles that keep the chemicals where they are needed most, which helps in minimizing off-target application. The EOLO series also incorporates energy-efficient technologies, reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

In summary, Unigreen's SIRIO, EXPO, DEVIL, AP APC, and EOLO series represent a blend of innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. Each model is designed to meet the specific requirements of various agricultural environments, ensuring that farmers can operate at peak efficiency while contributing to sustainable farming practices.
