Every agricultural operation is looking to improve its efficiency where ever possible. Correct batching and mixing of product to the label is the start of any spraying task.
Getting this process right is the start of a successful spraying program. A lot of sprayers on the market may be good applicators of product but there on board mixing systems are not adequate, and not working well enough for today’s demands. Australian farmers are now using more sophisticated blends of chemicals to combat a range of weeds to stop the ongoing threat of resistance, a lot of these mixes need careful and lengthy mixing. When relying on an on-board system to mix, you are using in some cases over 300 horsepower to drive an inefficient system for a poor result. 30% of a sprayers life is spent with the key turned on filling. Goldacres has released its 800 litre Batchmate to the Australian market for this very reason. The Batchmate offers the operator a fast, safe and efficient way of mixing, batching and filling all with the economy and reliability of the Honda GX200 engine and Aussie pump with 600 litres per minute flow. The Batchmate is portable, easy to use, and proven. With input costs rising the Batchmate gives the operator the benefit of:
Reduced depreciation of the sprayer
Lower fuel costs
Faster fill time
Improved mix quality
Greater productivity
