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

UNDERSTANDING SPRAYERSCroplands has been building sprayers since 1972. After operating for 43 years in the Australian and New Zealand environments we understand the challenges faced by producers; 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 reliability. Working with feedback from farmers and operators, we develop sprayers that provide efficiency with a simple approach. We are proud of our innovative developments.

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 – Croplands will find the solution.

SUPPORT AND SERVICEOur service centres are staffed by experienced and internationally trained technicians who understand what make your sprayer tick.

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.

MAKING PURCHASING EASYCompetitive Financing

We understand that a Croplands Sprayer represents a serious investment. Working through Croplands Credit, we offer flexible payment schedules, flexible terms, competitive rates and comprehensive financing.

All available through one source – your local Croplands dealer.

GENERAL MANAGER’S WELCOME

CONTENTS

Dear Customer

We present to you the 2015 edition of the Croplands Broadacre Buyers’ Guide, packed full of information to assist you in deciding which broadacre trailed or linkage sprayer is best for you.

This year we are proud to announce that we have continued our Cash for Communities program. This Croplands social initiative offers to our customers the opportunity to contribute a cause close to them, by simply nominating a local charity or sporting club when ordering a Pegasus, WEEDit or Pinto sprayer.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our many loyal customers, those who are familiar with the high standard we provide in both machine and service and continually choose Croplands when upgrading their sprayer.

For those new to the Croplands broadacre range, don’t overlook our Self-Propelled RoGator and WEEDit Optical Spot Sprayers which feature in their own Buyers’ Guides. Please contact our customer service team on freecall 1800 999 162, who will be more than happy to post one out to you.

Yours Sincerely

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 an 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.

This 50 cm nozzle spacing table above can still be used for booms with different nozzle spacing by using the above conversion factors. For example, if pressure and speed are given, the L/ha value for 30 cm spacing can be calculated by multiplying the given L/ha table value by 1.66. And the other way around. For example, a grower wants to use 80 L/ha. His boom nozzle spacing is 30 cm. To use this table he needs to divide 80 L/ha by the 30 cm conversion factor (= 1.66). 80 L/ha ÷ 1.66 = 48.2 L/ha = a 48.2 L/ha value in this 50 cm spacing table reflects a 80 L/ha value for 30 cm spacing.

FLOW RATE

For example, a farmer wants to spray 70 L/ha, drive with a speed of 18 km/h and his boom has a nozzle spacing of 50 cm:

TRAVEL SPEED

For accurate application it is important to calibrate the speed of the tractor. An easy way to do so is to drive in the gear the application will be done in, measure the time it takes to travel 100 metre and apply this simple formula. For example, it takes the farmer 20 sec to drive 100 metre. His application speed is 18km/h.To do so he needs to us a nozzle that delivers 1.05 L/min. He has

several options, for example, he could use an 025 nozzle size at 3.5 bar or an 02 size at 5.5 bar (see table).

L/min/nozzle = nozzle flow rate in litre per minuteL/ha = water application rate per hectarekm/h = driving speedW = width of nozzle spacing in metres600 = constant

PRESSURE

1 bar (bar) = » 100 kilo pascal (kPa) » 14.5 pounds per square inch (PSI)1 pound per square inch (PSI) = » 6.89 kilo pascal (kPa) » 0.0689 bar (bar)As a rule of thumb, to double the flow through a nozzle, the pressure must be increased four times. Higher pressures increase drift (less so for AI nozzles) and increase the rate of orifice wear.

SPOT/BAND SPRAYING

For spot and band spraying, the same formula can be used but W (nozzle spacing) becomes the spray width divided by the number of directed nozzles.For example, a grower directs 3 nozzles over a 1m strip:

W = = 0.33 m1 m
