Whether navigating narrow vineyard passages or providing delicate spraying coverage in pomegranate orchards, precision spraying machines play a crucial role in preventing disease, reducing chemical use and improving overall crop quality, for higher farm productivity and overall yield, besides saving on time and labour. Farmers using the Airotec Turbo 600 Alpha sprayer have reported significant savings in chemicals and labour, quicker spraying cycles, and better crop health.
Designed to put control in the hands of the farmer, the AIROTEC Turbo 600 Alpha is fit with a 2-speed + 1-neutral gearbox that lets users adjust the fan speed based on weather conditions and specific crop requirements. The low-height profile of the new sprayer enables safe movement under canopy and trellis systems essential for protecting delicate flowers and fruit in high-density orchards.
The new compact tank of the AIROTEC Turbo 600 Alpha is constructed from chemical-resistant materials, ensuring durability and a long operational life. The compact tank design, along with a 3-axis toe bar allows easy movement through tight vineyard rows. By reducing physical contact with the crop, the new sprayer helps maintain integrity of the crop, minimizing risk of damaging vines or tender fruit, especially during critical crop growth stages.
For enhanced efficiency, the sprayer includes 12 two-way adjustable brass nozzles that ensure precise chemical application and minimal wastage. A 5-mode controller allows precise adjustment of spray pressure, direction, and coverage—enabling accurate and responsive spraying across varied terrains and crop growth stages.
The sprayers brass agitator keeps the chemical solution suitably mixed throughout the spraying operation preventing sedimentation and ensuring uniform application. Safety features such as a pressure relief valve protects both the pump and operator, while tire mud scrappers ensure smooth operation even in muddy or uneven field conditions.
