Knight to show new boom contour-following and nozzle tech at LAMMA
19th December 2024
Knight Farm Machinery is to use LAMMA 2025 to reveal innovative new boom contour-following technology designed to ensure greater levels of nozzle to crop/ground distance accuracy, for enhanced product efficacy, improved workrates and reduced risk of crop and boom damage.
Created for use across the range of mounted, trailed and self-propelled sprayers manufactured by the firm, Knight Contour Master has been designed in-house and is manufactured by the company.
The system uses independent distance sensors – four on the standard version and six on the 6G variant for even faster response on wider 4 Series and Tri-Fold Knight booms.
The sensors feed information instantly to a power processor controller.
This governs modulating valves that provide seamless and accurate control of boom height corrections, and of the centre boom section angle.
In addition, the valves control the positive/negative inclination of the left and right inner boom, and of the left and right outer booms.
Knight also plans to unveil a new Smart-Inject development in nozzle technology, which has been entered into the LAMMA Innovation Awards.
Further details are set to be revealed at the show.
