Importance of proper pesticide dosing
Producers are becoming more aware of the dangers of pesticides and the consequences of improper handling. Besides personal protective equipment, it is crucial to have a designated place for dosing pesticides into the sprayer. Filling stations with filling containers are designed to prepare the spray mixture in a controlled environment, reducing direct contact between the user and the pesticide.
Advantages of a filling container
A good filling container provides the user with complete control and easy handling. The height of the container's attachment is crucial; it should not be too high as it would make dosing powdered pesticides more difficult. Modern filling containers offer trapezoidal attachments that lower the container, making dosing easier and reducing the risk of pesticide getting into the user's eyes and mouth.
In the filling container, the pesticide is completely dissolved with the help of a mixing nozzle, ensuring even distribution and greater effectiveness upon application. Additionally, it prevents foam from escaping from the sprayer during filling, protecting the user and reducing environmental impact. Modern filling containers also allow for thorough cleaning of pesticide packaging, further minimizing harmful effects on the user and the environment.
Agromehanika and user safety
At Agromehanika, we pay great attention to user safety. We initially introduced modern filling stations on our largest trailed sprayers, and today they are part of the standard equipment on all white line sprayers with a capacity of 800 liters or more. They are also available as an add-on for smaller models. For more information about the basic and additional equipment of sprayers, visit our website.
Conclusion
A filling container is not merely a luxury but an essential piece of equipment for safe and effective spraying. Proper dosing and mixing of pesticides are crucial for crop protection, producer health, and environmental safety. Modern filling containers enable safe and easy handling of pesticides, making them indispensable in any modern agricultural operation.
