Agrifac Machinery introduces their range of self-propelled crop sprayers
Since 1986, Agrifac pledged to produce only the most innovative, stable and reliable self-propelled crop sprayers for growers on a global scale. Basing their craftmanship on the wants and needs of farmers themselves, the Dutch manufacturers soon became a household name and are now successfully supporting farmers in more than 40 countries worldwide. In 2023, the crop spraying giants make history once more as they launch into the United States of America.
Enterprising on this global success, Agrifac launched a growth mission which would drive their machines into the future ag space, both in terms of accuracy, efficiency and coverage; this is reflected within the Condor Series sprayer range.
The Agrifac Condor sprayers are renowned for being the most stable and well-balanced self-propelled crop sprayers in the world, as well as the least impactful on the environment. Agrifac’s innovative in-house developed solutions are strictly manufactured according to the 4E’s for growers’ concept: meaning Efficiency, Economy, Ecology, and Ergonomy are leading in the manufacturing of the full Condor range of sprayers.
HIGH CROP SOLUTIONS
Farmers with tall crops such as corn and sunflowers need access to solutions that allow them to treat their fields during every growth stage. The Agrifac Condor Clearance machine offers an increased ground clearance of 79″ and special crop guiders to help prevent damage to taller plants, resulting in the potential for more yield and in turn, reducing the risk of crop damage. With boom height options up to 14.5 feet in addition to chassis clearance, this offers farmers the possibility to do a last spray run late in the season whilst still ensuring high quality care of the crop.
OPTIMUM COVERAGE IN HILLY AREAS
Challenges that growers in mountainous areas face are resolved by Agrifac solutions too. Concentrating on their changing terrain, the Agrifac Condor MountainMaster was developed to offer full grip, robust traction control and accelerated power. The proven design enables the machine to level itself out on slopes with an incline/decline of up to 20%. The spray boom automatically adapts itself to the crop using intelligent distance monitoring sensors, resulting in perfect coverage even in hilly areas.
HIGH CAPACITY
Farming with a high-capacity machine offers the opportunity to enhance productivity and in turn, increase coverage per hour. The Condor Endurance world record holder self-propelled sprayer is equipped with a 2,100 gal tank and booms spanning up to 180 feet. Thanks to the stable world famous StabiloPlus chassis, it is possible to spray at 20 miles per hour whilst maintaining a consistent application rate, perfect stability of the boom in the crop and optimum coverage across the field. In Australia, the Condor Endurance proved its capacity capabilities by spraying a whopping 6,518 acres in 24 hours; doubling the previous world record.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
As well as increasing efficiency, savings can be achieved with Agrifac’s innovative solutions such as camera spraying and task map spraying, combined with Agrifac’s 100Hz PWM system. Canadian and Australian farmers currently incorporating Agrifac’s spot spraying solutions within their spraying operations achieved input savings of up to 95%, heightening their operational profitability. Choosing the right drift reduction solution offers the farmer a longer spray window and the possibility of reducing resources by up to 20%.
