TORNADO TPL BLUEBERRY OR VINE SPRAYER Rear view of the Tornado TPL Blueberry or vine sprayer. Unit comprises of a fiberglass or polyethylene tank of varying sizes mounted on a heavy duty galvanised steel chassis. The fax size varies from 28" - 36" diameter and some models have either a single speed gearbox or two speed gearbox. All fans are vari-pitch. The conveyor is fabricated from fiberglass and has two adjustments for height. The principle of this conveyor is to spray "over the row" to effectively cover four rows in one operation. Due to the efficiency of the Ciclone fan, low horsepower requirements make this unit ideal for operators with low to medium horsepower tractors.

Side view of the Tornado TPL Blueberry or vine sprayer. Unit consists of a polyethylene tank of 600 liters capacity mounted onto a strong galvanised steel frame. The fan shown is a single speed 30" vari-pitch version made by Ciclone of Italy. The fan has die-cast aluminum blades mounted onto a dynamically balanced alloy hub with an "in-built" safety clutch. The fiberglass conveyor illustrates the output area and in particular the nozzle carriers fitted with a hollow cone, colour coded ceramic nozzles with accurate micron droplet size. A "checkvalve" is fitted to the conveyor nozzles.

Due to the high performance of the Ciclone fan, above average work speeds can be attained in the orchard allowing quick work times, fuel savings and low noise emissions. The ceramic hollow cone nozzles with accurate micron droplet size output can also assist in providing a very thorough coverage of the crop surfaces also aiding in better control of fungal diseases or insect pressure.

The top of the conveyor dispenses air to the next row with spray laden droplets, thus giving a four row coverage in one operation.
