The Lemken SprayHub front tank can now be used with the SprayKit application unit and a rear-mounted hoeing machine for band spraying during hoeing.

The combination of both implements can help to reduce farmers’ workloads. For the upcoming season, the SprayHub and SprayKit have been equipped with new functions like an electrical single-row deactivation via ISOBUS which enables row-by-row automatic section control by means of GPS. In addition, there is also a version of the SprayKit for under-root fertilisation with the Azurit precision seed drill.

The SprayHub front tank is equipped with its own controls, agitator and cleaning system. It is ISOBUS- controlled and can be operated via the “iQblue spray” software. The SprayHub has a 1100 or 1500 litre tank volume and is fitted with a clean water tank, a hand wash tank and a filling filter. There is an additional induction nozzle to help break up solid materials. A CTS connection for contactless induction is also available.
