IV Specifications
CAPACITY:
Up to 8-1/2 ton stuck capacity - 250 cu. ft. standard and
optional 285 cu. ft. (300 cu. ft. tarped) with 5" hopper
extension.
HOPPER
CONSTRUCTION: 409 stainless steel walls have slopes of
45 and 30 degree for complete clean out. Hopper augers are
equipped with single lever dumps gate for product clean out.
Removable
mile steel trash screen available for top of hopper is optional.
APPLICATION
RATES: Capable of applying product at an application rate
up to 1200 lbs/acre at 12 mph and as low as 12 lbs/acre. The
application rate x mph factor is 14,400 with 60-foot boom.
Product Controller options include: Dicky John, TeeJet-Midtech
and Raven controllers.
Single
or Multiple (with optional Co-Ap) Product control can be applied
at Single Rate control or Variable Rate control.
METERING
SYSTEM: Right and Left Metering Boxes Meter and Distribute
the Product evenly into dividers with Fluted Rollers that
are controlled to turn in relation to ground speed. Air Pressure
in the metering box assists the product to "Free Fall"
into the Air-stream and out the Boom Nozzles. Instant Startup
and Variable Rate Response to Variable Rate Control results
from metered positive displacement of the product immediately
into the Air stream without lag time.
Two High
Output Stainless Steel Feed Augers supply the product demand
needed to the metering box for High Application Rates at Normal
Field Speeds. A Mechanical Baffle Level Control system keeps
the metering box full of product at all times. Compatible
with Ag Chemicals, the Metering Roller Area components are
made with Stainless Steel housing, shafts chains and non-corrosive
bearings.
AIR
SYSTEM: Built-In Fan Design combines Blower Housing and
Bloom Air Manifold into Dual Integrated units. Airflow from
the Blower is directed into the Boom Tubes in a Straight Path
with minimal airflow restriction. The Energy Efficient Design
Save Horsepower, Fuel and Time.
BOOM:
Mid ship booms mounted between the Cab and Hopper provides
the BEST VISION for the operator and a SMOOTH and much more
STABLE ACTION. The booms are independent Right or Left Pitch
Leveling for Terraces or simply Clearing Objects in the field.
Boom Tip Breakaways are standard. Solid, time tested, "Stacked
Boom" construction add to the Durability of the boom.
The "TUNED
BOOM" design features longer tubes with larger diameter
then the shorted tubes to not only reduce weight, but more
evenly distributes air velocity to all nozzles. Twenty nozzles
at 36" spacing deflects product material in an even pattern
at approximately 100 mph downward and out of the wind. Optional
Abrasion REsistant nozzle Deflector Inserts are available
for high abrasive product application.
HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM: A Closed Loop Industrial Grade Hydraulic System
with Pressure Compensated Variable Displacement Pump powers
the Hi Speed Axial Piston Blower Motors. Airship function
controls are combined into an electric over hydraulic control
manifold for efficient and clean hydraulic assembly. Shielded
dual hydraulic cooling system mounts in an accessible swing-open
hydraulic cooler design.
CAB
CONTROLS: Seat Mounted Cab Control Center uses Joystick
Control Design to keep Airship Control Functions close to
operator. All-Around Vision from the Cab Seat allows operator
to visually monitor Airship functions. Optional controller
guidance is available with GPS system.
FOAM
MARKER: 42 Gallon capacity, with 360-degree Free Rotation
Foam Applicator.
CHASSIS
ASSEMBLY: Full Factory Assembly on *Approved Chassis,
120 inch Cab to Axle, 300 HP minimum with transmission mounted
PTO. |
