Wide range of capacitiesHARDI’s trailed orchard sprayers are availablewith tank sizes from 1000 to 3500 litres.Wide range of air kitsYou can choose from a large variety of HARDI’sfans and cone deflectors, in order to optimize andadapt the generated air to your specific crop andworking conditions.Wide range of deflectorsThe DUO deflectors are available for all ARROWand MERCURY sprayers with axial fan. To obtainan optimum treatment of your crop with a minimumapplication rate, the choice is the verticalJET-deflector, which is available for all MERCURYsprayers.Better application performance and efficiencyThe quality and the volume of the generated airflow improve the over-all performance of themachines. You can treat at a higher forwardspeed and still obtain first-class penetration andefficiency of the application.Reliable and simpleThe design of the HARDI sprayers will meet yourdemands: A robust machine that is easy to use.High safety standardsWith the operator’s safety in mind, all areas thatare exposed to chemical products have beenplaced in the rear part of the machine.Minimised off-target applicationDrift and re-circulation of the air are kept to aminimum, thanks to the design of the air kits andnozzle placement.MERCURY MATCH working in citrus.MERCURY/ARROWDHT DUO deflector specially made for high trees with row spacing upto 6 m.3

High quality componentsfor your next sprayerHARDI diaphragm pumps, theheart of the sprayerThey are designed for theapplication of plant protectionproducts and can beused for distribution ofliquid fertilizer as well.DrawbarsFour types of drawbars are available: With Ringhitch, with Fork hitch or an Articulated drawbar (standardor Heavy Duty version). All drawbars areadjustable in length.Model 363 features 6diaphragms. Volumesrange from 140 to195 l/min and pressureup to 20 bar.The 321 pump has 2 diaphragms.Output is 70l/min and the maximumpressure is 20 bar.For further protection against corrosion, themanufacturing process of the metallic partsare steel shot blasted, then treated with asynthetic priming coat and finally painted witha 2 component polyurethane paint. The chassisincorporates a jack wheel, wheel scrapersand a non-slip footstep that can be folded upwhen not used.Ring hitch drawbarFeatures• Self-priming• Able to run dry without damage• Grease lubricated crankcase• Chemical resistant diaphragms and valves• Able to rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise• Easy to service without special toolsFrameThe chassis is made of special UPN steel profilesproviding robust durability and resistanceto vibrations. The design and constructionprevent accumulation of dirt and thereby preventcorrosion.AxleThere is a wide range of fixed and adjustableaxles available for the trailed HARDI sprayers.Together with the many wheel types, theyplace the HARDI sprayers amongst the mostversatile machines in the market. The sprayercan be adapted to suit the terrain to themaximum by means of adjusting the wheeldistance. Further, the axles can be moved forwardsor backwards in order to change thecentre of gravity of the sprayer and therebyincreasemaximumstability ofthe sprayer.Fork hitch drawbarArticulated drawbar4Heavy Duty articulated drawbar

CalibrationOptional extrasThe success of a plant protection treatmentdepends on three factors:1. The right choice of plant protectionchemical2. The right timing of the treatment3. The use of a sprayer that is properlycalibratedPrecision and goodspraying practice arekey factors for a goodtreatment. The timeused for adjusting andadapting the sprayer tothe desired treatmentshould be consideredas an investment inoptimising the sprayingtechnique, in order to:1. Only use the necessarydose of theplant protectionchemical2. Minimize the loss todrift3. Increase the qualityof the crop4.
