Sprayer bowsers can help improve sprayer operator efficiency to hit crucial spray timings and ensure effective inputs work on crops so efficiency for spray operators need to maximise. With sprayers getting bigger and heavier, consideration needs to be given to reducing axle weights and potential to cause soil structure damage during a wet season. With the cost of sprayers and other farm enquiry on an upward curve driven by the sophistication of the technology, we need to find ways to improve sprayer output by reducing downtime spent filling or travelling on the road to refill. Many farmers look to bowsers either for water, liquid fertilizer or for the chemical solution to be pre-mixed prior to use and with many farmers having trailers which are often sat ideal during the sprayer season, turning these into a sprayer bowser is often a popular route.
Spray contractors have long used bowsers, and by many switching to liquid fertiliser and taking on more land miles away from their base sprayer bowsers can increase output so by sprayer by up to 25% according to agrochemical manufacturer Syngenta by reducing the time spent filling up. Horizontal transport tanks are suitable for water and fertiliser and are often used in conjunction with a 10,000, 20,000 or 30,000-litre vertical water tank which can act as a buffer for filling the bowser and take advantage of rainwater harvesting at the same time. These Horizontal Tanks are designed for the transportation of liquid such as water and liquid fertiliser and mount straight to flat surfaces with a unique pin mounting system without the need of mounting frames or steel mounting straps, being impact resistant, and chemical resistant to most chemical, these tanks are often seen as the route to take.
Having the right horizontal tank design will help you manage the liquid better. There are two popular designs/shapes of horizontal leg tanks to choose from.
There are many sizes of horizontal leg tanks to pick from. It is important you consider things like how much liquid you need and if you have any weight restrictions.
Enduramaxx manufacture range of plastic tanks fitted with steel frames for mounting as well as water and fertilizer pumps for quick discharge and filling.
Buying A Poly Horizontal Transport Tank for your truck or sprayer bowser can seem like hard work, we have put together a list of sizes which are generally available from stock, In the natural you can see the level in the tank when used with liquid fertiliser so you don’t need a level guage. A range of sprayer camlock fittings is available to suit quick filling and connecting to your sprayer.
