24, 28, 30, 33 & 36m – TriTech Hydraulic Booms

*TriTech V Series boom fitted

Boom height control
The system will keep the boom at an entered preset height, allowing chemicals to be applied in an optimum spray pattern maximizing your inputs through consistent application and reduced spray drift.

Bi-fold
Spray with a boom folded into a narrower width when conditions are not suited to a wide boom.

Wing Tilt
Handle undulating terrain with ease by adjusting the left or right wing with individual hydraulic tilt. This feature allows the wings to be raised or lowed to clear obstacles and maintain a consistent spray height

RapidFire
Over the last several years there has been a greater shift to precision farming technologies, such as auto steering and automatic boom section control. Both of these technologies are aimed at reducing spray overlaps and unsprayed areas, the former potentially causing crop burning and overuse of chemical. Depending on the field size and shape the wastage can be quite substantial.
Goldacres have developed these practices further by introducing RapidFire air controlled nozzle shut off capability.

Traditional systems use motorised boom section valves to control water flow to the nozzles. Wider booms in conjunction with increased number of spray sections means a substantial amount of plumbing is required, thus increasing the delay in spray on and off times. In addition, the further the nozzle is from the centre of the boom the longer the delay becomes. RapidFire overcomes these problems by putting the switching capability right at the nozzle.

Small airlines at each nozzle switch the flow on and off in a fraction of a second, and more evenly across the boom width. Boom line plumbing is also greatly reduced, which quickens line priming and flushing as well as simplifies plumbing.

RapidFlow (Boom Recirculation)
RapidFlow – Boom Recirculation allows the sprayer boom lines to be fully primed from the driver’s seat without spraying a single drop. This reduces wastage at the start of a tank load or when switching chemicals. RapidFlow can also be used to thoroughly flush out the boom lines without the need to physically spray on the ground.

3TS (Three Tier System)
The spray nozzles operating pressure range and size determine the application rate and speed band at which the driver must adhere to. This band is usually quite narrow. To overcome this Goldacres offer a 3 tier system (3TS) which effectively gives the driver a much wider operating band whilst still maintaining optimum droplet size. Think of 3TS as a three-step gearbox. Each nozzle type has an operating pressure band for a given droplet size. As the first nozzle reaches the top of the pressure band it switches off and the next larger size nozzle switches on. When that nozzle reaches the top of that pressure band the first nozzle will switch on again, effectively giving three operating bands.

3TS Pro
The 3TS – Pro is our 3TS system with an extra nozzle added to give a total of 3 nozzles. This allows seven nozzle combinations to be used, which offers many flow rates and speed variations without manually changing the nozzles.
3 different nozzle sizes working on a tiered system can give the operator virtually any flow rate and desired speed range.

Raven Hawkeye® HD nozzle control
The Hawkeye HD Nozzle Control System is a pressure based product control system which allows for precise sprayer application in a variety of conditions, reducing spray drift and getting the most out of every nozzle.

Each nozzle is controlled by its own individual pulsing valve giving you a consistent spray pattern as speed and conditions change.

The Hawkeye System is built on the ISOBUS communication platform which allows it to work with ISO Task Controllers, including the Viper® 4+. Hawkeye has also been tested for shock, vibration, impact, and weather resistance in rugged terrain and extreme temperatures. Its durability is unparalleled.
