New sprayer rolled out

Oct 07, 2023

Silvan has just released its new 1600 and 1900-litre Spray Pro sprayer range aimed at the dairy and livestock markets.

The sprayer, which is designed to be mounted on a tractor's three-point linkage, is ideally suited to spraying pasture on broadacre and livestock farms.

Both the 1600 and 1900-litre models contain a self-priming BP125/20 pump, with nitrile diaphragms and corrosion-resistant, cast-anodised aluminium bodies, capable of delivering a minimum 121 litres a minute at a pressure capacity of 2000kPa.

The key feature of both models is the 18-metre galvanised self-levelling boom with hydraulic fold, lift and tilt along with parallelogram suspension.

Other features of the sprayer are the 30 litre Silmix chemical induction hopper mounted on the side of the tank, 150 litre flush tank and 10 litre hand wash tank.

The robust galvanised steel frame comes with an adjustable category two and three hitch. Three section Silvamatic electric controls with pressure-compensating direct acting valves are fitted as standard. On and off pressure adjustment can be made from the tractor cab.

Options include a bigger BP200/20 PTO pump that delivers 195 litre/minute, hydraulic drive centrifugal pump, a range of Bravo automatic rate controllers including ISOBUS and a 57 litre paddock foam marker.

Both 1600 and 1900-litre polytuff, impact restart polyethylene tanks contain a floating ball and non-spill offset screw-down lid with single breather.
