Agritechnica 2011 – New MAFEX models for optimum crop protection for potatoes
For the first time Mantis ULV-Sprühgeräte GmbH exhibits in hall 2 (stand no B50d) at the Agritechnica 2011. With its new MAFEX-Potato for the treatment of potatoes with germination inhibitors, fungicides and seed dressings Mantis addresses mainly the potato growers this time.
Based on the ULV technique of Mantis which is proven for more than 30 years the new MAFEX models now have additional functions. The most important innovation is an electronic control system, which allows an even easier and more comfortable operation of the devices and an efficient function control.
In addition to the fully automatic
priming of the system and setting of the desired quantity a nozzle monitoring
with audible and visual alarm and an automatic cleaning function are
integrated. When priming the system all functions of the MAFEX device are tested
and the liquid is transported to the nozzle, so the application can start
without delay then. During operation, the function of the nozzle is monitored
and in case of a dysfunction an alarm is initiated.
The MAFEX device is operated
using a dust-and water-repellent membrane keyboard. A large display shows -
depending on the current menu – for example the status of the spray system, the
set application rate or dysfunction. Especially in the case of disturbances there
is no need to search for the cause of the problem because it can already be
read on the display. An optional flow control is available so that in addition
to the functions of the MAFEX device there is also a monitoring of flow of
preparation or flushing water. If the container of the chemical is empty, the
control unit initiates an alarm.
New is also that the devices are equipped with peristaltic pumps. This change is especially relevant where very aggressive products must be applied, which attack the membranes of the pumps used to date. For example, also waxes with ammonia additives can be applied with the new MAFEX-spray systems, for example, for protection of the harvest of citrus fruits.
Other innovations include
materials and construction, which have also been optimized. The ULV rotary atomisers
and their well-established functionality are retained. The new MAFEX spray
systems are – as the former models where - characterized by the particularly
uniform size and distribution of droplets, thus allowing the most economical
use of preparations to protect crop yield.
- MAFEX-Silage sprayers for spraying silage agents during chopping
- MANKAR ULV spraying systems for efficient weed control without water
- Rofa for control of instects in stables
