Case IH’s new AIM Command Pro spray technology provides individual nozzle control and turn compensation.
Case IH has incorporated a new spray technology system into its Patriot self-propelled sprayers.
The company says its AIM Command Pro spray system will maximise the return of investment for growers in both crops and chemicals in a wide range of conditions.
Case IH Product Manager Pete McCann says the new technology provides unprecedented application control and accuracy by managing the droplet size and pressure when spraying.
“This is essential to delivering improved pest control leading to higher profits through higher crop yield,” McCann says.
McCann adds since first production in 1998, AIM Command has built a reputation for its comprehensive impact on chemical spray quality, drift management, standard and variable rate applications and operator convenience.
“The most important advantage of AIM Command is the ability to control the pressure in the boom independent of the chassis speed,” he says.
“This gives the operator the advantage of being able to balance coverage and drift for their particular field conditions on the fly, saving time, increasing acres per day and maximising yield potential like no other system in the marketplace today.”
McCann says individual nozzle control minimises skips, preventing over-application and crop damage.
“As the nozzles pass over previously applied or unapplied areas, each individual nozzle turns on or off as needed for the application specified making it easier for growers to balance coverage verses burn in long point rows or around pivots or obstacles.”
The AIM Command PRO also has a new ‘turn compensation’ feature which allows individual nozzles to match the rate for that nozzle’s speed through the field relative to its position on the boom during a turn.
“Turn compensation adjusts for different speeds across the boom during turns, providing a consistent and accurate application rate,” McCann says.
“The programmable ‘soft’ boom configuration also allows the operator to customise boom configurations for factors such as a fence row or wheel track configurations.”
