2. Same range and penetration at both low and high volume.
3. Perfect and uniform mist blowing of any chemicals.
4. You can also spray concentrated mixture: copper oxychloride, white and yellow oils, barium and calcium polysulphide, the latter even pure in commercial formula (without dilution water).
5. No clogging, no jamming - no wear of nozzles, discs, plates.
6. Instant and accurate adjustment of liquid flow.
7. No runoff from foliage even at high volume.
8. You can individually close or calibrate each nozzle.
9. High versatility in use and wide range of attachments.
10. Simple and reliable operation with minimum maintenance.

MOUNTED SPRAYERS TECHNICAL PRINCIPLE

Thanks to the electrostatic fields formed between the plants, which are good conductors (sap, mineral salts, moisture, etc.) and the chemical mist sprayed from MARTIGNANI blowers with their special electrostatic charge, the droplets saturated with active principle are attracted to the vegetation (branches, leaves, etc.). This reduces losses due to drifting even in windy weather. Years of research and practical experiments carried out so far in this particular field by renowned institutes in North America (California), South America (Argentina - Uruguay), Asia (Philippines), Africa (Tunisia) and Europe (Holland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy) have yielded surprising results. All this has allowed researchers to affirm that the electrostatic mist-blowing sensibly improves the many advantages acknowledged by all when it comes to low-volume plant-protection treatments, while eliminating those few aspects that certain people still question once for all.

NUMBER ONE FOR LOW VOLUME

The only one with over 60 years of worldwide experience.
Tested for treatment efficiency by eminent Agricultural Research Institutes worldwide.
The only one used with no problems at high concentration by thousands of top wine and fruit growers worldwide, from California to Australia.

Multi-Awarded in the Most Important Agricultural International Contests.

MOUNTED SPRAYERS VOLUME

The MARTIGNANI mist-blowers can spray:

- HIGH VOLUME (over 1000 lt/ha or 100 gal/acre)
- MEDIUM VOLUME (500-1000 lt/ha or 50-100 gal/acre)
- LOW VOLUME (200-500 lt/ha or 20-50 gal/acre)
- VERY LOW VOLUME (50-200 lt/ha or 5-20 gal/acre)
- ULTRA-LOW VOLUME (less than 50 lt/ha or 5 gal/acre)

of chemicals dissolved in water or oil without replacing nozzles or discs, and with uniform coverage (mist droplets of 130 microns avg. diameter) at unchanged pressure (1.5 bar - 22 psi).

WHY CHOOSE MARTIGNANI MOUNTED SPRAYERS

- Evenly distribution of plant protection products, which adhere perfectly even to the undersides of the leaves.
- Less loss through drifting.
- Total use of the pesticides, thus even less product required per hectare/acre.
- Total coverage of even the highest parts of the trees (where conventional mist blowers are unable to reach) since the chemical mist that forms above the plants is attracted by these latter.
- The Job gets done are faster (up to 12 KPH or 7.5 MPH); saving more time.
- Healthier plants and better quality produce.
- A significant reduction in environmental pollution.
- 70% less pesticides contamination risk (both by inhalation and contact)

MOUNTED SPRAYERS PERFORMANCE

- Centrifugal fans of special design and exceptional efficiency, producing large air volumes and remarkably high air flow rate at very low rev number and absorbed power.

- Spray nozzles (patented - with special profile and large - 4 mm. - diameter), thus no clogging, no jamming, no wear, no deformation. They are located in the point where the air flow reaches a speed of up to 300 KPH, thus dividing the liquid flow into extremely fine and uniform droplets.

- Stainless steel high precision metering valves (patented): the liquid output can be easily varied from 50 to 1300 I/h each; depending on the amount (or volume) of fluid you want to spray per hectare or acre. Also depending on the desired tractor speed, concentration of chemicals (from normal to 2,3,4. . . 10. . .20 times), soil conditions, density of foliage, etc.

- Low pressure, high delivery self priming centrifugal pump made in stainless steel for nozzle feed - adjustable, continuous agitation of the spray fluid, rapid, environmentally friendly self-filling. It also powers the large capacity:

- Pre-mix-eco attachment, ideal for preparing chemical mixtures in a closed tank, both during self-filling and when the tank is already full, by simply operating a valve.

- Tank, made of reinforced polyester resin or POLY for 3P hitch and pull-type models, all of which have two built-in tanks for circuit rinsing and hand wash each; made of stainless steel for engine driven models and the 2000 l (500 gal.) PTO one (rinsing and hand wash tanks are available on request). The suction sumps are specially designed to ensure thorough spraying even when operating on sloping grounds. The liquid level is clearly visible in the tank side.

- The suction filter is external and can be easily cleaned even when the tank is full.

Frame and control unit

- Sturdy, oversized frames of hot galvanized steel profile with adjustable drawbar, support feet, adjustable axles. All p.t.o. models are perfectly balanced (center of gravity on the axle) and therefore very maneuverable when empty; in operation, 50% of the useful load advantageously rests on the tractor’s hind wheels.

- Remote control unit within reach of the driver; equipped with glycerine pressure gauge and calibration valve that delivers the fluid individually to the spray heads. On request: spray computer.

OPTIONAL ATTACHMENTS AND CONFIGURATIONS

- M612 MAJOR fan (delivers 25 % more of Air Volume than the “Standard”) for high capacity treatments, suitable for tall trees with dense foliage (Walnuts, Citrus, Almonds, Avocados, Mangos, etc.) but you need a tractor of 90 HP and higher.

- 90°+90° head: regular adjustable spray head with 6+6 nozzles for spraying any crop. Vineyards head: with 2+2 adjustable spray heads with 2 nozzles each, suitable only for narrow row crops (vineyards, berries, nursery crops, etc.)

- 180° Fixed head: featuring 12 nozzles – suitable for roofed crops (ex. table grapes) or when smaller dimensions are important (with this head sprayer 30 cm shorter)

- Gun + 90° head: suitable for covering field and row crops, greenhouse crops, tall trees, etc. (Vertical Swath: 15 m – Horizontal Swath: 20 m.)

- Multi-Flow head: you can individually orient each nozzle, suitable in narrow row crops (vineyards, berries, nurseries, coffee trees, orchards, etc.)

- Nuts head: with 90°+90° bottom head + upper double cannon/fishtail head for high and dense canopy crops such as walnuts, macadamia trees, pecan trees, mango trees, oil palm trees, almonds, avocado trees, papaya trees etc. or when we can't drive through with the tower Turbo 2 version.

- Duo Wing Jet head: for spraying 2 rows of vineyards, optimizes spraying with no drift, the product is recovered by combining the action exercised by the electrostatic attraction between vegetation and the polarized mist with that of two special (anti-drift) air cushion shields, without re-circulating the chemicals mixture in any way, with also anti-chemical residue action on fruits, grapes, wine, etc.

More configurations

- Nursery head: large diameter cannon head, vertically and horizontally adjustable by hydraulic jack and motor for spraying nurseries, protected crops in tunnels and greenhouses, all outdoor vegetables, etc. (Horizontal swath: 25 to 30 m)

- Turbo 2 head: Double spraying system – one from the top and one from the bottom - to penetrate the thickest vegetation (suitable in Citrus groves, Mango, Papaya, Orchards etc.).
