Ultrasonic sensors: it allows rociar the pesticidas and fertilizantes on the crop with a uniform height

Picture of Ultrasonic sensors
The ultrasonic sensors guarantee a rociado uniform of the product. The atomisers of crop apply pesticidas and fertilizantes on the plantation during the period of crop. Control the height of the atomiser is determinant in this process. If it remains too high, the wind could drag the product rociado. Instead, if the atomiser is too low, the product will not distribute uniformly, or even worse, the mechanism of the atomiser could bump with the crop or terrain.

To guarantee that it covers all the area, even in irregular terrain and crop of distinct height, and to avoid that the arm touch the crop or the floor, is necessary to control and adjust continuously the height of the mechanism. The filters rociadoras mount to a determinate distance. The ultrasonic sensors control the height of the satisfied arm the tractor crosses the plantation.

The information received of the ultrasonic sensors series 30GM allows rociar the pesticidas and fertilizantes on the crop with a uniform height.

Resistant and reliable:

The ultrasonic sensors series 30GM, that do not suffer problems of interferences by the dust, the dirt neither the chemical products, and can detect surfaces of any colour with identical precision, also are indicated for agricultural applications.

Fast and efficient:

Satisfied the tractor crosses the plantation, the ultrasonic sensors series 30GM supervise continuously the distance until the canopy of the crop and send the readings obtained like an analog value to the controller of the vehicle. The height of pulverización increases or reduces of form chord to follow the outline, so that the fertilizante and the pesticida distribute by equal. With the control of height of the arm automated, the operarios can concentrate in the driving of the tractor and finish the work with a speed and optimum efficiency.
