Engine and hydraulic system

Engine:

State-of-the-art common rail engine technology

Fuel-efficient: 40 km/h with reduced engine speed

at 1600 rpm

Tried and tested Deutz technology

Tier 3 emissions standard

Approved for use with biodiesel

Performance and fuel consumption

When used under optimal conditions on large fields

and with few start-ups, fuel consumption is up to

0.8 l/ha. If the machine is used for travelling long dis-

tances by road or if working on sloping terrain, con-

sumption rises to around 1.1 to 1.2 l/ha.

These are excellent values for an infinitely variable

self-propelled sprayer. Mechanical drives produce

values that are a maximum of 0.2 l/ha higher for a

5,000 hectare annual usage this results in savings of

approximately 1,000.

The fuel efficiency factor is predominantly down to

the good power-to-weight ratio of the SX 4000: 2.15-

2.27 hp/100 kg. The 200 hp rated engine has to move

an unladen weight of just 8,800 kg to max. 9,300 kg.

Other self-propelled sprayers with over 220 hp and

an empty weight in excess of 11 tons produce just

2 hp/100 kg. This difference of around 10% makes

a positive impact on both driving behaviour and fuel

con-sumption.

Compare performance and weight!

Engine/hydraulic system

Hydraulics:

Infinitely variable hydrostatic drive

from 0 to 40 km/h

Easy to maintain

High traction power

Reliable operation ensured by three separate

circuits with three pumps

Low fuel consumption thanks to pressure and/

or flow-controlled pumps

Equipped with an electronically switchable

differential lock as standard

Specific allocation of tasks in the hydraulics

The first pump is designed for the traction drive, the

second pump is a load sensing pump and is used to

drive the spray liquid pumps. The speed of the spray

liquid pumps is maintained at a constant 480 rpm,

independent of the engine speed. This saves fuel and

protects the pumps.

The third pump is designed for the steering systemand the hydraulic cylinder of the sprayer. A propor-

tional valve always ensures priority oil supply to the

steering system.

AMATRON+ all the information at a glance

The AMATRON+ on-board computer enables fully

automatic control of the desired spray rate (l/ha).

Defined quantity changes are carried out quickly and

precisely in pre-settable % steps. This modern on-

board computer is particularly user-friendly thanks

to its clear, simple and logical menu system. A large,low-reflection display is installed for monitoring the

system. The very compact nature of the computer

means it requires little space in the cab.

AMATRON+ also allows the use of the Distance-Con-

trol function for the boom and the Comfort package

for remote control operation of the spray liquid system.

Precise dosage and simple operation is ensured by the

AMATRON+ operating terminal - modern and future-proof.

The digital fill level indicator ensures constant and

safe level control. The AMATRON+ computer also

continuously displays and checks the current system

pressure level via the digital pressure indicator.

The computer has an application management pro-gramme with 20 field record memories. It can also be

connected to the automatic field-related documen-

tation port. The AMATRON+ has a serial interface for

connecting to GPS terminals and nitrogen sensors.

Electronics

The Comfort package for AMATRON+

is included as standard equipment!

The Comfort package from AMAZONE provides the

ideal way of simplifying the work conducted by all SX

sprayers. The most important functions of the spray

liquid circuit (filling, agitation intensity and cleaning)

are controlled remotely from the cab via the Comfort

package. This enables the desired fill level to bepreset and the filling process to be terminated auto-

matically. The automatic agitation control ensures

a continuous, fill level-dependent adjustment of the

agitation intensity. When fresh water is drawn in the

pump, tank, agitators and spray lines are cleaned

automatically. Depending on the desired intensity

the driver can conduct the cleaning process several

times, spraying out the diluted agent where required.

Advantages of the Comfort package:

Clean and safe working conditions for the operator

The driver is no longer required to walk out into the

sprayed crop

No foaming of the agent thanks to adapted

agitation levels

Convenient filling ensured through precise fill levels

GPS-Switch for AMATRON+:

Automatic part-width section control

This new GPS supported on-board computer

system automates an accurate switching of the

machine on the headland, in shortwork and in

wedges. The working width and the arrangement

of the part-width sections are taken into conside-

ration. The field headland is determined after an

initial pass around the field, then everything runs

automatically. The GPS-Switch on-board computer

can be universally used with AMATRON+ for both

fertiliser spreaders and crop protection sprayers.

High-performance pumps and induction bowls

Two high-performance, easily

accessible piston diaphragm

pumps (530 l/min.) ensure spray-

ing process can even be conduc-

ted at high volumes and speeds.

Thanks to its switchable injector

the SX has an additional fill capa-

city of over 600 l/min.

Induction bowl and power injector

Powdery substances and large quantities of urea are

dissolved quickly and safely by the induction bowl with

the ring line and additional nozzle, and simultaneously

inducted by the power injector. The extraction from

large containers can be greatly simplified by using the

Ecofill connection.

Flushing the canister with the induction bowl

To ensure unproblematic cleaning of the spraying

agent canister and to fully utilise its content, flush the

canister using a rotary nozzle. The closed induction

bowl can be flushed for self cleaning. The induction

hopper closes in a dust-proof manner. No dirt enters

the system and no liquid escapes.

DUS pressure recirculation system

Induction bowl/DUS

Simply ingenious

the DUS pressure recirculation system

When starting work the line system, including the field

spray line, is flooded with solution in the opposite

direction under pressure. The spray lines are always

filled and immediately ready to use over the entire

working width. There are no waiting times at the

headland. Every time individual part-width sections

are shut off, during each turning operation and during

transport, the spray liquid circulates continually. This

is conducted via the AMAZONE pressure controller,

which guarantees reliable circulation. This ensures

deposits, blockages or segregation in the spray lines

are prevented in a reliable manner. The concentration

of the spray liquid always remains constant up to the

nozzles in order for the start of spraying to be con-

ducted without a problem, for example, after changingthe ingredients. In a cleaning operation clear, fresh

water flushes through the field spray lines and up to

the nozzles without being sprayed. During cleaning,

the concentrated spray liquid is routed back into the

spray agent tank via the pressure circulating system.

The spraying specialist advises...

...less drift, even at higher wind speeds

Crop protection agents can be applied with very low

drift by using the air-assisted injector nozzles. They

can be used universally for all crops and all indica-

tions. Because of the coarse drop application these

nozzles can also be used during higher wind speeds.

AMAZONE offers the agricultural sector a wide range

of nozzles from Agrotop, Lechler and Teejet.

Single and multiple nozzle bodies

The nozzle bodies in the profiles with integrated

diaphragm check valves reliable prevent afterdrip at

the nozzles. Self-adjusting bayonet locks guarantee a

quick nozzle change without tools. The triple or qua-

druple nozzle bodies are suitable for frequent nozzle

changes that are effected by different applications

and crops. Nozzle protection tubes on the outer sec-

tions or, if desired, over the entire boom working

width, ensure protection for the long injector nozzles

and the multiple-nozzle bodies.

Nozzles

...is the basis for success in crop protection

The long injector nozzles (ID, AI, TTI) have a relatively

coarse droplet spectrum and are particularly versatile

with regard to their field of application. A pressure

range of 2-8 bar is possible.

The correct nozzle selection...

When it comes to special coverage qualities the double

flat fan nozzle is an interesting alternative: As a double

flat fan injector nozzle, the AVI Twin from Agrotop also

produces droplets that are not too fine. The split spray

pattern ensures a more even deposit on the front and

back of the plant and is an interesting alternative, for

example, in ear treatment.

For speeds > 10 km/h the TD HiSpeed nozzle and its

asymmetrical spraying angle is becoming a new indus-

trial trend.

A good compromise is provided by the modern ID-K

or Airmix compact injector nozzles: These have rela-

tively little drift, but do not have too coarse a droplet

spectrum and are operated at 2-4 bar.

If coverage quality is at the foreground of the appli-

cation, the use of standard or anti-drift fine droplet

nozzles, such as XR or AD, is recommended. Special

caution is required here due to the tendency to drift

above 3 bar.
