A "Slim" electrostatic sprayer for very narrow rows

When the rows are very narrow, you need a suitable sprayer—one that is effective but can pass between them without causing damage.

Martignani offers a suitable solution with the “SMS Slim” Mounted Phantom Electrostatic Sprayer. This narrow sprayer has a 300-liter capacity and is suitable for row crops with very narrow row spacing (berries, vegetables, vineyards)—that is, less than 2 meters.

“The acronym SMS— as stated in a company press release— stands for Smart Maintenance System. It is a patented system that provides easy access to all the mechanical components of the sprayer for routine and non-routine maintenance. This system received an EIMA International 2021 Honorable Mention in the Technical Innovations Competition. Furthermore, Martignani’s new SMS Slim Mounted Phantom Sprayer offers all the benefits of electrostatic charge technology, which the Romagna-based company introduced over 40 years ago.”

Thanks to the electrostatic fields that form between the plants and the chemical mist dispensed by the sprayer, the droplets—saturated with the active ingredient—are drawn toward the vegetation, minimizing drift loss even in windy conditions. Several years of research and practical trials conducted around the world have yielded surprising results, confirming that electrostatic mist-blowing enhances the many advantages that are now widely recognized in low-volume plant-protection treatments .

This sprayer and the entire Martignani product line can be viewed in person at the following trade shows: Acorbat, Novisad, Enovitis, Eima, and Interpoma.
