Open the catalog to page 7As with all primary industries, sustainability is becoming increasingly important to the wine industry. When developing the R-Series we sought to help vineyards deliver against the triple bottom line by ensuring that it delivered economic, environmental and social benefits to owners: • Reduced spray losses to drift by up to 90% at season start • Savings on annual chemical cost of 25-40% • Less off-target spray to cut environmental impact and significantly decrease drift • Improved health and safety of operators with easy set-up, hydraulic drive and controls, and low-noise. Most day-to-day adjustments...
Open the catalog to page 8The R-Series delivers all of this without compromising the primary objective of your spray programme - the prevention of disease and pest infestations - by distributing the chemical to the target evenly, consistently and effectively.

Open the catalog to page 9The tangential fan delivery system used on all FMR sprayers ensures the product is distributed to the target evenly and consistently. By providing a curtain of high volume but low-pressure air across the target canopy, even coverage is achieved without any of the ‘striping’ that is often seen with traditional air-blast and air shear delivery systems. Because the air curtain is emitted from a tangential fan spinning on a vertical axis immediately before the outlet, the air is already turbulent when it is directed at the canopy. This causes the leaves to flutter facilitating excellent penetration...
Open the catalog to page 10The easy set-up and hydraulic controls mean that the V-Series is practically a ‘point-and-drive’ sprayer, requiring minimal operator training or technical knowledge. Wide row configuration for row widths 2.9-4.0m Terrace configuration: hydraulic height adjustable booms with individual L/R NB: only available on 2-row machine with tandem axle 3-point pivoting hitch Hydraulic powerpack (independent hydraulic system), includes 3-point pivoting hitch 3-Row configuration NB: 3rd row is non-recycling; only available with tandem axle; requires 74L/min oil flow rate.

With the HVM you can maximise the ROI on your harvester, reduce chemical waste, increase time efficiency, all while achieving the...
