ABOUT CROPLANDSCroplands manufacture and supply quality spray equipment, components and accessories.

UNDERSTANDING SPRAYERSCroplands has been building sprayers since 1972. After operating for 40 years in the Australian and New Zealand environments we understand what the pressing problems are; before, during and after application. Our sprayers are built accordingly. We listen to farmers and produce cost effective solutions to suit their needs.

SIMPLE, RELIABLE AND DURABLEOur machinery is built to high quality standards. Robust design and generous dimensions result in unmatched durability. Working with feedback from farmers and operators, we develop sprayers that provide efficiency with a simple approach. We are proud of our innovative developments in spraying equipment, such as the Pegasus 8000 design.

THE APPLICATION SPECIALISTSAt Croplands we believe it is not good enough to simply sell a piece of machinery.

We believe it is important to give advice to growers on how to achieve the best possible outcome with their unit. How many other manufacturers can confidently give tailored recommendations on nozzle selection?

Our close relationship with Nufarm gives us a good understanding of chemicals and their requirements for application. Being part of the Spraywise program, Croplands has access to the latest research outcomes. If a grower needs a specific nozzle or advanced hydraulic controls – Croplands will find the solution.

SUPPORT AND SERVICEOur service centres are staffed by experienced and internationally trained technicians who understand your sprayer from pump to boom.

Croplands’ dealer network is trained to provide the very best local support. With dealers and warehouses located around the country spare parts and accessories are always available and close by.

Croplands spare parts, sprayer components and accessories are manufactured and hand-picked for superior performance and longevity.

WEEDiT

SUPERIOR MODE OF DETECTIONWEEDit’s red light technology only detects the chlorophyll present in living plants sending a quick response to the nozzles which release the spray onto the weed. This superior mode of detection allows for faster travel speeds and the ability to target even smaller weeds. WEEDit improves at night because there is less interference from sunlight and weeds are often less stressed meaning the reaction to chlorophyll is greater. Unlike other makes of weed detection equipment, the WEEDit system also utilises a speed sensor to increase or decrease the reaction time of the nozzles, meaning a more accurate and efficient job across the paddock.

BACkGROUND CALIBRATIONChanges in background conditions is a significant issue for other makes of weed detection equipment, mainly caused by changes in soil type and stubble. The WEEDit is inherently less sensitive to changes in background conditions because it is only measuring chlorophyll, and background calibration happens automatically For the operator this means less downtime and ultimate performance across the entire paddock.

SENSOR AND NOZZLE PLACEMENTWEEDit sensors are placed every 1 metre across the boom and control 5 nozzles (individually) on 20cm spacings. Benefits from this design are less weight due to less sensors being required, and a smaller spray footprint when a weed is sprayed. This set-up provides greater savings on chemical compared to other makes of weed detection equipment available in the market. The nozzle spacing of 20cm also allows for a narrower angle nozzle to be used with the benefit of reducing spray drift.

ENHANCED ELECTRICAL SYSTEMAny weed detection system places large demands on electrical supplies. The WEEDit overcomes this issue by running at 48 volts. This not only gives superior solenoid operation but current draw is 4 times less than other weed detection equipment using 12 volt systems. Faster solenoid operation also means quicker spraying speeds in the paddock.

SUPERIOR PRODUCTIVITYThe WEEDit system provides high speed operation of up to 25k/hr which is up to 10k/hr faster than other weed detection units in the marketplace. High speed operation gives you greater productivity and better utilisation of your investment.

Take control with up to 80% chemical savings for farmers using WEEDit selective control technology on pre-emergent regimes in fallow paddocks.

» Operates using near infrared camera sensors to detect green leaves of weeds in fallow paddocks

» These sensors activate solenoids, controlling the release of chemical from the nozzles to the target

» Camera units are spaced 1 metre apart, reducing weight on the boom and improving effective operation driving speeds

» WEEDit will become an increasingly important application solution for the management of resistant weeds requiring specialised chemistry

» Low volume 0.03–1.2 litre

» Positive displacement piston pump for fixed displacement

» Accurate pressure side injection

RAvEN BOOm LEvELLiNg SySTEmSThe correct boom height is important to allow for correct overlap of nozzle fans but also to minimise drift as much as possible. Driving in uneven terrain creates significant bounce at the boom tip. While one tip may be critically low to the ground, the other may be 1.5 metre up in the air.

A solution to stabilise the boom is the use of sensor-driven hydraulic stabilisers. A sensor at the end of each arm monitors the distance to the ground and a hydraulic ram constantly adjusts the position of the arm in relation to the ground and the wheelbase.

The Raven AutoBoom UltraGlide automatic boom height control STAND ALONE system can be fitted to Croplands 28, 30 metre (3 sensors) and 33, 36 metre (5 sensors) booms without the need for GPS.

AutoBoom UltraGlide’s unique hydraulic-powered design delivers a smooth and responsive height adjustment system.

» Faster operating speeds

» Simple installation

» User friendly controls

» Centre rack control for easier return to spray and transport modes

NOzzLES AND APPLiCATiON TOOLS

LOW PRESSURE AiR-iNDUCTiON NOzzLESLow pressure air-induction nozzles are the most popular nozzle type in Australia. They achieve a 80–90% drift reduction while operating best between only 3–5 bar. Generally they produce a COARSE spray quality but with higher pressures a MEDIUM spray quality can also be achieved. That makes them to excellent all rounder nozzles. Until recently this type of nozzle was only produced in poly material. However, the ALBUZ CVI opens up the option to upgrade to durable pink ceramic in this class.

high PRESSURE AiR-iNDUCTiON NOzzLESHigh pressure air-induction nozzles work best in the range of 4–8 bar and must be operated above 3 bar. Compared to low-pressure air-induction nozzles they decrease the amount of driftable fines even further to 90–95%. At speeds of 25 km/h and above they provide more flexibility in retaining a constant spray quality at varying speeds. The orifice material is generally made out of steel or even more durable ceramic.

NOzzLES FOR EXTREmELy COARSE SPRAy QUALiTyIn some instances avoiding drift is paramount. The amount of driftable fines must be greatly reduced or almost eliminated. Few nozzles are designed for this purpose. They will produce great efficacy with translocated products (eg. 2,4-D or glyphosate) on large targets. In these situations these nozzles can be used with confidence. On smaller targets, especially with low water volumes, efficacy is still questionable and current advice remains to use them only if drift control is paramount over efficacy.

PRE-ORiFiCE FLAT FAN NOzzLESCompared to conventional nozzles, pre-orifice nozzles move the spray quality generally from a FINE to a MEDIUM spectrum and reduce the amount of driftable fines by 50%. Instead of a single orifice they have an entry and an exit orifice. Cleaning of the internal chamber can be a problem. Pressure requirements are 2–4 bar. While they are a better option than conventional nozzles, they still produce a lot of driftable fines, especially when used at higher pressures.

CONvENTiONAL NOzzLESConventional nozzles are the simplest and cheapest design of nozzle with a single orifice only. They produce a FINE spray quality. The main advantage of conventional nozzles is their low pressure requirement (1.5–3 bar) and their proven performance with insecticides and fungicides. However, they are also the main producers of driftable fines and should be avoided.
