Optional Equipment<br />

The following optional equipment is normally<br />

factory fitted at the time of manufacture but can<br />

also be installed during the life of the sprayer.<br />

Contact your <strong>Silvan</strong> dealer for further information<br />

about installation during service life.<br />

Foam Marker<br />

The foam marker is used to identify the sprayed<br />

area. The system generates foam at the end of the<br />

boom from diluted foam solution and air, pumped<br />

separately through small bore hoses. This<br />

produces superior quality foam by avoiding the<br />

deterioration that can occur from heat and vibration<br />

when foam is pumped through long hoses.<br />

Diluted foam concentrate from a 100 litre tank is<br />

forced by air pressure to the boom. A needle valve<br />

is used to regulate the flow rate. The 12 volt<br />

compressor generates a large volume of air at low<br />

pressure. A safety valve is incorporated in case a<br />

hose is accidentally kinked or blocked.<br />

A selector switch on the control box or the electric<br />

over hydraulic boom control, if fitted, operates<br />

electric solenoid valves that direct air and foam<br />

solution to a foam generating chamber and<br />

dropper at either the left or right end of the boom.<br />

A mesh screen in the generator aids foam control.<br />

Full installation and operating details are given in<br />

the Operators <strong>Manual</strong> supplied with the unit.<br />

Primo 400 Farmscan Spray Controller<br />

The controller can be fitted to automatically<br />

maintain the required chemical application rate to<br />

maximise spraying efficiency. It includes switches<br />

for a four section boom and can be set to cease<br />

spraying when speed falls below a selected figure.<br />

The unit monitors and displays a continuous digital<br />

read out of critical spraying information by means<br />

of a single function display that can be switched<br />

between a number of factors, including:<br />

• Application rate.<br />

• Flow rate.<br />

• Ground speed.<br />

• Area sprayed.<br />

• Distance travelled.<br />

• Chemical volume used.<br />

Full installation and operational details are given in<br />

the Operator’s <strong>Manual</strong> supplied with the controller.<br />
