WIND ?
”It is very satisfying to be able to finish the spraying without being interrupted by the wind”.
GOOD PENETRATION
”TWIN helps during spraying of fungal diseases where we need to penetrate down in the crop. A similar demand for better penetration exists with Roundup spraying and this gives a particularly good effect”
RIGHT TIME
”It is easier getting out at the right time using the TWIN sprayer”
”I have had much more capacity with the TWIN sprayer”
UNDER 100 L/HA

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IS AN ADVANTAGE
”I bought the TWIN sprayer to get more spraying hours; an advantage which I definitely have gained. Another reason was the angling of nozzles and air, which I would not be without”

BETTER USAGE OF THE TIME
”It is often employees paid by the hour who drives the sprayer and with the TWIN we use the time of the driver more efficiently”
MORE TIME”Using the conventional sprayer I have about 5 hours available pr. day, whereas using the TWIN sprayer I can reach up to 8-10 hours pr. day”
SPRAYING WHEN IT IS WINDY
”I have more spraying hours using the TWIN sprayer, because I can drive in windy conditions and with a speed up 10 km/h”
LOW WATER VOLUMES
"The water volume for the TWIN sprayer is 90-130 l/ha., and using the conventional sprayer I use 130-200 l/ha and larger nozzles”
“I knew that this cutting-edge technology could give us an advantage on competition, going out and getting the job done”

SPRAYING WHEN I WANT TO
“I knew that this cutting-edge technology could give us an advantage on competition, going out and getting the job done”.
“With the TWIN I can decide when to go out spraying – I am not being dictated by the weather conditions”. “The fact is that I am out spraying when everybody else is just waiting for the wind to slow down”.
THE BEST DRIFT CONTROL
“Now we can apply Roundup in Soybeans with much better spray and drift control even on very windy days, avoiding damage to other non-tolerant crops like Corn”.
“Before I often had to stop spraying on windy days”. “Now with the TWIN I can just keep spraying even up to 25 MPH winds with excellent control”. If winds pick up even more than that and I have to finish spraying, I just slow down a bit”.
AIR & SPRAY ANGLING
“The angling is definitely necessary”
MUCH HIGHER EFFICIENCY WITH TWIN
“We have increased the number of spraying hours available in a year, providing much better timing due to lower water rates and higher spraying speeds”.
“We have reduced the chemical consumption and the chemical costs within reasonable limits and still have better crop control”.
”The advantages using TWIN are, that I am less dependent on weather conditions and my driving speed is higher”.

HIGHER SPEED
”The advantages using TWIN are, that I am less dependent on weather conditions and my driving speed is higher”.
”I can drive faster and still control the spray liquid”.
”The speed has increased from 7-8 km/h using a conventional sprayer, to11-13 km/h using the TWIN sprayer, even in windy conditions “
SPRAYING IN WINDY WEATHER
”When spraying more developed crops, it has to be very windy before Ifeel that I need to stop. In these crops, I usually spray at wind speedsof up to 15 m/s”.
GOOD TECHNOLOGY
”Even though - every once in a while - use full air capacity, I have never needed more air capacity”
”Angling of air and nozzles is indispensable”
MANY HOURS SPRAYING
”Hopefully the next sprayer will also be a TWIN sprayer, otherwise it will be difficult to get as many hours of spraying as we do now”.

MORE CAPACITY
”We do our spray work with 1 COMMANDER plus TWIN FORCE instead of 2 conventional sprayers and we have still enough capacity to spray with an optimum timing.”
”We grow 80 ha potatoes and we use only 120 l/ha this means only 2 fill ups”.
LONGER SPRAYING PERIOD
”We have a 2 day longer spraying window in potatoes”
”The few times we use full air capacity is, in tall crops and under sub-optimal spraying conditions”
CHEMICAL REDUCTION
”There is a potential of 25 % chemical reduction in potatoes.”
“Herbicide spraying in sugar beet could be down with a good result, also if the soil tillage is not perfect.”
