Do you know that....
- HARDI TWIN can be used at higher spraying speeds without increasing drift?
Farmers around the world exploit faster spraying speeds to obtain higher capacity. Going up in spraying speeds increases the drift cloud behind the sprayer on conventional sprayers.

Kappel and Schulze-Stentrop, 2003 Total drift - relative measurement (conventional spraying @ 15 km/h = 100%) Nozzle: FF025 110
Pressure: 2 bar
Water volume: 160 l/ha (6 km/h), 110 l/ha (9km/h), 65 l/ha (15 km/h)
Wind velocity: 2-4 m/s |
The active air assistance forces all the drops from the nozzle - down onto the target surface and through crop canopies when needed – to both avoid drift but also to secure an even distribution in the complete width of the spray swath.

Cooper and Taylor, 2000 Distribution measured underneat the boom - comparison of HARDI TWIN and conventional sprayer |
Sprayers are getting bigger and going faster. These trends with conventional sprayers are causing drift concerns, poorer distribution and raising residue fears in high value crops. Poor distribution in the field will effect chemical performance, can cause crop damage and will risk yield loss.
TWIN sprayer users will not have these fears.
