High-capacity spray agent tanks
The UF 02 is available as the UF 1602 with a nominal volume 1,600 l and, as the UF 2002 with a nominal volume of 2,000 l. The specially shaped, polyethylene tank is integrated into the main frame to give a favourable centre of gravity. The advantages of this tank design are the absolutely smooth tank inner and outer walls, the rounded internal design and the low positioned sump on the tank bottom. This allows for quick, effective tank cleaning as well as minimal residual volumes. The filling of the tank is carried out, both on the suction side and also when pressure filling from a water source, near to the tank bottom. This reliably eliminates any tendency to form foam during the filling procedure. For an intensive agitation capacity and to prevent any deposits settling in the tank, the agitator is positioned down on the tank bottom. The internal cleaning nozzle, the tank breather and the easily opened, domed lid are positioned right up in the tank. In addition to the spray agent tank, the UF 02 mounted sprayer also has either a 200 litre or 350 litre fresh water tank.
High performance and reliable pump technology
The UF 02 can be equipped, from choice, with a single pump system that has a capacity of 200 l/min, 250 l/min or 300 l/min. During the filling procedure at a nominal pump speed, the full pump capacity is available for filling the spray agent tank. At the same time, either the contents of the induction bowl can be drawn out via the venturi or the total fill capacity can be increased up to 450 l/min.
Stepless hydraulic main agitator
The intensity of the hydraulic agitator can, steplessly, be reduced down to nothing in order to avoid any foaming of the crop protection agent or to facilitate spraying out the remaining tank contents.
Everything thought of! Fill level and cleaning
The fill level can be read off both via a clearly visible scale or the operator terminal. High-performance, rotating nozzles clean the spray agent tank internally. Short pipe runs and hose cross-sectional areas as small as possible make for low residual volumes. Continuous internal cleaning is available as an option (not with Flow Control+).
Well thought through – in every detail
The 20 l hand wash tank is positioned above the induction bowl and it is completely integrated into the machine design. The wash water runs directly into the induction bowl and is sucked into the tank. In addition, a easily-accessible soap dispenser is positioned underneath the hand wash tank. As standard, the UF 02 features a 30 l dustproof and splash water safe clothing locker for carrying any personal protective equipment.
SmartCenter with Standard-Pack – simple and intuitive operation
Essentially, Standard-Pack means that the UF 02 is operated mainly via the manual suction and the pressure taps. The suction tap determines from where the pump is going to draw the liquid from, whereas, correspondingly, the pressure tap determines where the pump will send the spray liquid to. In addition, the in-house developed 7-way pressure tap from AMAZONE simplifies control of the pressure side.
SmartCenter with Comfort-Pack – Operation made easy!
In conjunction with Comfort-Pack, the TwinTerminal 3.0 is also utilised. In addition, automatic fill stop for the suction fill is made possible. As an option, fill stop is also available when force filling from a bowser. During application, the intensity of the agitation is regulated depending on the tank fill level. As the fill level decreases, the agitation capacity is automatically reduced down until it is completely switched off preventing the formation of foam at a low fill level. In addition, the automatic agitation regulation offers auto-dynamic agitator control. This means: If larger application rates are required at the nozzle, the agitator output is reduced. If the nozzles are switched off again on the headland, the agitation is automatically restored. After the spraying operation is finished, Comfort-Pack provides fully automatic cleaning which can be controlled completely remotely from the tractor cab. Additional functions such as boom rinsing, the cleaning the spray liquid circuit from heavy deposits or a defined dilution of a subsequent tank mix in the field are also included within Comfort-Pack.
7-way pressure tap
The UF 02 is equipped with a 7-way pressure tap. As oppose to a normal pressure tap, the in-house developed valve from AMAZONE consists of a cam and valve seats. Exclusively by swivelling in and out the handle on the pressure tap, the relevant liquid paths are reliably opened or closed.
The benefits
Exceptionally quick, trouble-free filling - Suction capacity of 150 l/min
- Fresh water supply during both suction and pressure filling
- Safe induction even of powder and granular spray agents, thanks to the additional mixing nozzle
- Practical folding measuring jug holder in the induction bowl lid
Induction bowl
The 60 l induction bowl is positioned directly underneath the operator control chest. The phenomenal suction capacity of 150 l/min guarantees the quick, absolutely trouble-free filling and a complete emptying. For inducting powders or granular spray agents, an additional mixing nozzle is positioned underneath the suction aperture which safely prevents any blockage of the suction aperture. The mixing nozzle is infinitely-variable and can be operated in parallel to the infinitely-adjustable output of the high capacity rinse ring. When either suction or pressure filling, the induction bowl can be also supplied with fresh water via a steplessly-adjustable 3-way valve!
The DUS pressure recirculation system – proven more than 10,000 times
The AMAZONE DUS pressure recirculation system ensures a reliable circulation throughout the entire system. When starting the spraying operation all the hoses including the spray lines are filled under pressure in the reverse direction with the mixed spray agent. This means the spray lines are always full and immediately ready to use over the entire working width. There is no waiting on the headland. Every time individual part-width sections are shut off, during the turning operation and during transport, the spray liquid circulates continually thanks to the pressure recirculation system. This reliably prevents deposits, blockages or segregation in the spray lines. During the cleaning operation, fresh water flushes the spray lines out right up to the nozzles without any spraying being necessary. During this cleaning procedure, the concentrated spray liquid is returned back to tank via the pressure recirculation system leaving the spray lines clean.
DUS pro
With DUS pro, the spraying pressure is constant right up to each individual nozzle and at the set spraying pressure. Thanks to the conical spray lines, minimal residual spray volumes are achieved. Conical spray line: The dimensions of the spray line vary along the boom - Minimum residual volumes
- Even flow speed.
Front tank solution
The special advantages offered of more manoeuvrable tractors with a mounted implement compared with trailed sprayers in smaller and more awkward shaped fields as well as the better behaviour on slopes are the major arguments for the front tank solution. But also in the 3,500-litre self-propelled sprayer class, a comfortable tractor equipped with a high-quality combination of mounted sprayer and front tank makes an interesting alternative.
Expansion options
Growers, for whom the volume of their UF 02 mounted sprayer is not large enough, can expand the nominal volume up to 3,500 litres by combining it with a front tank. With the aid of FlowControl, the front tank is completely integrated into the spray liquid circuit of the UF 02.
Sophisticated design for the utmost in safety
No matter whether in the yard or in the barn: there is always a safe parking place for the compact combination on its parking rollers. The system’s simple handling is already convincing even after just a few hours in the field. The internal cleaning of the sprayer combination is carried out via the fresh water rinse tank on the UF. The additional 100 l capacity of the fresh water rinse tank allows the appropriate cleaning according to European guidelines (rinse tank capacity: min. 10 % of the tank volume). The compact sprayer-tractor unit is favourable especially in narrow lanes with hardly any obstruction to the view thanks to the well thought out design.
