Advantages of liquid pickling:
Potatoes are effectively protected from infestation by Rhizoctonia (the main cause of vegetable skin diseases) if they are treated on all sides with a protective agent befo- re tuber storage. In planting machines, the potatoes are evenly sprayed with a suitable protective fluid agent by means of spray nozzles under the layering shaft just before they are stored. During this process, the layering channel leading up to the front unit is also covered by to the spray jet so that ground treatment also occurs at the same time. The time-consuming task involving dust powder agents is therefore no longer required.
The Lechler attachment kit for fluid seed dressing allows any type of universally available planting machine to be retrofitted to “automatic” spray coating. The tried and tested Lechler hollow cone nozzles ensure this and are installed in a favourable spray position in the grooved unit and behind the layering shaft. The spray jet can be set precisely to the ejection point of the tubers under the layering shaft through the use of a ball joint.
All components, in particular the line filters, have good access, can be simply monitored and cleaned without any problems.
You can purchase the attachment kit from co-operatives, specialist dealers and specialist workshops.
Attachment kit for one row
Only one attachment kit, order no. 400.440.C6.10 is required per layering shaft.
4 attachment kits are therefore required for a four-row machine.
The attachment kit consists of 2 nozzle stems (Fig. A) as well as the valve unit (Fig. B). Furthermore, 4 attachment brackets, 4 m hosing and the associated hosing clamps and replacement gaskets are also supplied as loose components.
Filter and distribution unit
As a result of the relatively low throughput of fluid, fine filtering (80-100M) is required at the pressure end. If an appropriate filter unit is not already integrated in the fixtures available, we would recommend the use of the Lechler filter and distribution unit, order no. 400.440.30.21.00.3 (Fig. C).
A maximum of six attachment kits (correspondig to 6-row planting machine) can be connected to the distributor kit.
The appropriate connections should be mortise-locked for smaller machine units (2 to 4 rows).
Advantages of the mounting kit liquid pickling:
- effective wetting of the potato
- functionally reliable
- easy to retrofit
Delivery:
Drum, pump and fittings are not included. It offers to use small used field sprayers. The attachment kit is equipped as standard with the Lechler hollow cone nozzle TR 80-01 C (approx. 100 to 150 l / ha at 4 km / h). On request, other nozzles can be mounted. Please select the desired nozzle size here.
Nozzle recommendation for furrow treatment (potatoes)
- Lechler FT 90 tongue nozzle – see also data sheet in "Documents".
- Apply ⅓ of the application rate into the furrow at the front and ⅔ into the flowing soil at the rear.
- Installation of the FT tongue nozzle instead of the previous hollow cone nozzles for tuber dressing.
- Do not spray potato tubers and equipment frames directly.
