PRODUCT FEATURES:

​

  • A pallet type sprayer unit that is mountable on 3/4 ton or larger pickup box, flatbed truck or trailer.

  • This sprayer unit uses one exchangeable, UN approved, Intermediate Bulk Container (IBCs) as a product tank.

  • Driver-friendly computer system controls the application rate as the vehicle speed or boom width changes.

  • Three-section spray boom and unique Variable Orifice (VO) nozzles

  • Application rates of 0.25 gallon per 1,000 ft2 (0.95L / 93m2) at 1-50 mph and 1.0 gallon per 1,000 ft2 (3.8L / 93m2) at 1-36 mph

CONSTRUCTION

  • The SMART-Tote 125 frame is constructed of tubular steel and powder coat finished for durability.

  • The three-section spray boom provides spray widths from 8′ to 25′ (2.4 to 7.6m).

  • Protected by a breakaway clutch at the hinge, the booms release if they strike an object.

  • When the booms are in the transport position, center section spraying is ideal for treating single lane roadways, parking areas and pedestrian walkways.

INTERMEDIATE BULK CONTAINERS (IBCS)

  • UN-approved Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are used as a product tank for the SMART-Tote series deicer unit.

  • IBCs offer convenient storage for airports with limited storage facilities.

  • When the bulk container empties the operator returns it to storage and exchanges it for a full one.

  • Quick product tank changes result in fast and efficient turn around times.

COMPUTER / PRODUCT CONTROL

  • The computer system monitors product flow, active boom width and ground speed to adjust the product pump output.

  • The desired application rate is maintained regardless of the vehicle speed.

  • The GVS velocity sensor (a GPS based sensor) produces true ground speed and eliminates magnetic drag wheel speed sensors and vehicle transmission interfacing.

PUMP SYSTEM

  • From Intermediate Bulk Containers, deicer liquid pumps through an efficient Centrifugal Cast-Iron Pump with a 5.5HP Honda engine.

  • The computer system regulates product flow by controlling the engine throttle speed.

  • A three valve shut-off assembly controls spray boom nozzle sections.

  • Nozzle Valves may be used independently or combined using switches for left, right or center nozzles as desired.

VARIABLE ORIFICE (VO) NOZZLES

  • The flow rate of the Variable Orifice (VO) nozzle changes as required by the vehicle speed and product flow.

  • The inherent anti-drip design closes the nozzle when the vehicle stops.

  • The nozzle droplet size and velocity produces no splash at 40 mph, reducing atomization.

  • Spray at speeds from 1 to 50 mph and at rates from 0.25 to 2.0 gallons per 1000 square feet.

  • Variable Orifice (VO) nozzles eliminate check valves, selectable nozzles, quick-change nozzles, or multiple nozzle spray systems.

SPRAYER CAPACITY

  • A 275 gallon (1,000L) Intermediate Bulk Container sprays up to 1.1 million square feet (102,000m2) with application rates from 0.25 to 2.0 gallons per 1000 square feet (0.95 to 7.5 L / 93m2).

  • This enables the driver to cover up to 44,000 lineal feet with a 25′ swath.

ADD OPTIONS INCLUDING:

  • Hose Reel

  • Water Heater

  • Stainless-Steel Product Pump

  • Permanent Mount Product Tanks

  • 36 foot Boom Span for a 40 foot Spray Swath
