Trailed Orchard Sprayers LOCHMANN

Stringent environmental requirements from local sanitary and epidemiological services (SES) and committees for the protection of nature reserve water bodies force sprayer manufacturers based in the Alpine region—due to the large number of reserves and the compactness of the territory (close proximity of residential buildings and orchards)—to pay close attention to the issue of spray drift. This is to prevent water pollution and ensure the chemical safety of the population.

Lochmann Plantatec, a company headquartered in South Tyrol, has introduced a solution that enabled it to obtain certification for the use of its sprayers in nature reserves and compact territories.

The essence of the development lies in achieving the right balance between droplet size and airflow, as well as the use of special side deflectors. When operating in the last inter-row, these deflectors block the airflow, preventing the spray mixture from drifting toward residential buildings.

Advantages of Lochmann Orchard Sprayers:

– Pump material: brass, with a lifespan of over 20 years
– Tank material: fiberglass, which can be repaired if necessary
– No need to disengage the tractor’s PTO during turns
– Low noise level: Lochmann orchard sprayers operate more quietly than the tractor
– The balance between droplet size and airflow reduces drift of the sprayed liquid by wind and updrafts by 90%
– Operating in Ukraine since 2007 (experience in local conditions)
– Simple design: the company avoids overloading the equipment with devices that ultimately do not improve spraying quality
