Knight Farm Machinery is introducing an optional boom-mounted nozzle check and cleaning station that will enable operators to check, clean and replace nozzles quickly.
The kit includes tool boxes mounted on the boom itself containing essential items like nozzles, o-rings, caps and maintenance tools, as well as space for essential equipment like gloves.
It also includes a pneumatic system which enables them to clean out blocked nozzles quickly and effectively.
To enable operators to check for blocked jets and test them after cleaning, it includes a ‘push button’ control for each boom section, so they can test all nozzles in that section while standing beside it:
“That will save operators a considerable amount of time and make what can be an irksome, time consuming task much simpler and quicker”, says David Main, Knight’s Sales Manager.
“As well as saving time, avoiding multiple trips to the tractor/sprayer cab and back to turn systems on and off will cut the volume of liquid discharged in the yard or on the headland during the checking process”.
The full kit is being offered across all Knight sprayers and is expected to cost from £495 depending on boom width.
