Knight Farm Machinery showed its new trailed sprayer range at Lamma, which features new technology for dealing with residual chemical remaining in a sprayer once work is complete.

With the first units entering production, Knight displayed a 6,000-litre example of its new KT trailed range. The specification included 36m booms, Individual Nozzle Switching, a Lacos touchscreen terminal and new Smart Rinse technology.

The latter is a fully automated sprayer rinse system designed to ease operator workload and simplify sprayer rinse cycles in the field. Knight said that SmartRinse ensures that when the empty sprayer leaves the field, the tank, pipework and, in the final stage, nozzles have all been fully rinsed.

Knight sprayers now all feature new dark-grey tanks, and some ranges gain revised capacity options. New KT trailed models are now available in sizes from 3,600 litres right up to a new 12,000-litre design, while the new KSP self-propelled range spans 3,500-6,000 litres. KM mounted models and KFT front tanks continue to be available in 1,300- to 1,900-litre capacities, while KDM demount models come in 2,500- and 3,000-litre sizes.
