Expodireto Special: Jacto presents innovations in spraying

Economy, efficiency and productivity are the highlights of equipment such as the Condor 800, with 18 meters of bars with high operational capacity, and the launches Uniport 2530 and Uniport 4530. The company also takes demonstrations to Expodireto Cotrijal in a 3D evaluation room that will allow visitors the opportunity to learn about the latest in pesticide application technology, as well as new options in precision agriculture, such as the new version of the Otmis Maps Telemetry System, as well as the Otmisnet Mobile smartphone application.

Jacto has prepared major launches and innovations for EXPODIRETO Cotrijal, a fair that takes place in Não-Me-Toque/RS, between March 7th and 11th. In addition to launches, the company carries out demonstrations in a 3D room specially formatted for the event, which will allow visitors the possibility of getting to know more closely the latest in pesticide application technology.

Among the various new features in the line of tractorized sprayers, the highlight is the Condor 800 AM 18. The 18 meter booms, with hydraulic drive, provide high operational capacity, being 17% faster in the same coverage time of the operating area and reduce crop crushing losses by up to 22%. “Farmers have increasingly sought technologies that aim to increase productivity and, especially in family farming, also increase comfort, safety and practicality of operations. Therefore, this new model and the special conditions of the options meet these needs", explains Paulo Henrique Bueno, product manager for the tractor sprayer line.

Complementing the family of self-propelled sprayers, the company presents two major launches: the Uniport 2530 and the Uniport 4530. “The launches increase the offer to customers and make Jacto's portfolio even more complete. They were developed with performance, economy and technology in mind, which are very important factors for the performance of work in the field", explains Marcus Portari, product manager for the line of self-propelled sprayers and fertilizer machines.

News in application technologies, with new families of spray nozzles, and the new version of the Otmis Maps Telemetry System for Precision Agriculture and the Otmis Net Mobile cell phone application will also be presented at the event.

Check out the highlights of Jacto at Expodireto Cotrijal:

+ Condor 800 AM –18 – the traditional family of Condor sprayers expands its product line with the launch of the Condor 800 AM 18. Its 18 meter booms with hydraulic drive provide high operational capacity, being 17% faster in the same coverage time of the operating area and reduce crop crushing losses by up to 22%.

+ Uniport 2530 and Uniport 4530: Jacto reinforces its tradition and innovation in spraying with the launch of two new models in its family of self-propelled sprayers: the Uniport 4530 and the Uniport 2530. The Uniport 4530 model has a 4500 liter reservoir and spraying 36 meters. It is the first machine of this size in Brazil. Its weight, with empty tanks, is just 10.500 kg and has excellent operational performance, spraying up to 80 hectares per hour. When compared to equipment that has a 3000 liter reservoir and 30 meter bars, the Uniport 4530 presents an increase in operational performance by up to 30% and a reduction in crushing by up to 17%. Fuel consumption of 0,40 to 0,70 L/ha is up to 35% lower when compared to other machines on the market. Highlight is the new UNITRACK 4-wheel directional system, which allows faster and more precise maneuvers with a smaller turning radius. With an innovative solution, the system also reduces crushing during maneuvering by up to 40%. The working height of the bars of 2,75 meters, together with the adjustable free span of 1,55 to 1,75 meters, allows greater availability of use in all phases of crop development. It allows spraying at up to 35 km/h and travels at speeds of up to 55 km/h and features onboard technologies from the Otmis line, such as automatic nozzle-to-nozzle controller, hydraulic autopilot and RTX signal correction. It can also be equipped with RTK signal correction, humidity and temperature sensor, rear camera and Otmis Maps Telemetry.

The Uniport 2530 was formatted to work in the most diverse terrain conditions, spraying on slopes of up to 30%. It is a light machine, with power and low fuel consumption. It has a 2500 liter reservoir and 30 meter bar. The fixed free span is 1,60 meters. The chassis has high flexibility and resistance for the most diverse terrain conditions. The spraying system features 30 meter booms, 35 or 50 cm spacing, quadrijet nozzle holder, JP 150 piston pump with maximum capacity of 190 l/min, electronically controlled, 8-way electro-electronic Masterflow control, incorporator of agrochemicals, mechanical stirrer with rotation control, PPE port, 300 liter water tank for cleaning. Allows spraying at up to 25 km/h and traveling at speeds of up to 40 km/h. The Uniport 2530 also features embedded technologies from the Otmis line.

+ New nozzle families - The new nozzle families are part of a broad and versatile portfolio, available to assist farmers with effective and economical solutions that address the most diverse phytosanitary problems. Highlight for the JFC – CONE CHEIO, one of the most anticipated nozzle models in recent years was developed for applications in boom sprayers with nozzles spaced at 0,35m and 0,50m, providing excellent distribution and excellent deposition of agrochemicals in the lower third of plants (bass). This nozzle option is recommended for applications in areas of high leaf density. Other nozzle options presented include JTT, JGC and JGT.

+ 3D pesticide application evaluation room: The technologies, functionalities and recommendations of each spray nozzle will be demonstrated at the Jacto stand in an environment specially formatted for the fair. The space is new and aims to demonstrate, through 3D evaluation, the influence of different application variables and their respective impacts on the quality of phytosanitary treatments.

The 3D evaluation concept uses the plant itself for evaluation, incorporating a fluorescent tracer, which reacts with a special black light lamp, showing how each droplet size behaves during the application of the agrochemical.

+ Precision Agriculture: Otmis – the exclusive Jacto brand for Precision Agriculture – presents a new version of the Otmis Maps Telemetry system. Among the many possibilities of this powerful tool, we highlight the certification of the application of agrochemicals as scheduled, in the desired application volume and also checking whether the climatic conditions were adequate, such as temperature and relative humidity at the time of application. Among other aspects, the tool allows you to calculate agrochemical waste due to overlapping and it is possible to know exactly the operational performance of each sprayer working in the field. Every 5 seconds, the Otmis Maps Telemetry system records the working conditions and movement of the Uniport 3030 sprayer, sending them to a server where the customer has exclusive access, from wherever they are, via the Internet. Another new feature is the Otmisnet Mobile version for smartphones on the Android platform, with online monitoring (telemetry) and operational indicators. The Otmisnet Mobile service is an application that can be used by Jacto customers to monitor the work of Uniport 3030 machines in real time, providing information, alerts and indicators that can contribute to improving operational management.

+ 800-hour Parts Kit: With a differentiated proposal for the acquisition of parts and scheduled maintenance of Uniport Line sprayers, Jacto highlights the launch of the 800-hour Parts Kit, aligning practicality and cost reduction in revisions with the guarantee of original Jacto parts. With the kit, the producer saves by carrying out quick and scheduled maintenance for the first 800 hours of his machine, with original Jacto parts. In addition to the original parts, the kits, available for the Uniport 2000 Plus, Uniport 2500 Star and Uniport 3030 models, have fully self-teaching operation tables, instructing when each part should be replaced.
