The new METRIS 4102 and 3202 with tank capacities of 4,100L and 3,200L respectively, feature new developments to meet the market’s demands in terms of performance. Their main design is the same as the original version which aims to live up to the high performance requirements of spraying professionals:
-
3,200 and 4,100 litre injected polyester tanks equipped with anti-roll partitions for easy rinsing and excellent machine stability during transport,
-
Compact folding 24 to 36 m aluminium booms with EQUILIBRA suspension resulting in a light machine, stable in the field and compact for transport,
-
Axel-ring length 4.35 m: easy handling and less crop damage ensured,
-
Drawbar, axel, lift system and boom include comprehensive suspension for excellent stability both in the field and on the road.
A sprayer has to be as precise as possible while respecting safety standards and being simple to operate, for these reasons certain changes have been made to the METRIS 2:
-
It is fitted with a new product incorporator that provides total operator safety, notably during the rinsing phase,
-
A new electronic control unit, VISIOREB, with LED display of guide bar and work, as well as integrated GPS Section Control,
-
3 set-up systems have been introduced, MANUSET - DILUSET+ - e-SET, which cover all of the operator’s requirements. Depending on equipment, it comes with one or two practical and easy-to-handle control wheels for operating comfort. There is less chance of making mistakes as fewer operations are necessary,
-
A new automated agitator, STOPMIX, with automatic mixing stop at the bottom of the tank to prevent any foaming phenomena,
-
BOOM ASSIST, a new system that assists the boom in contouring the ground and vegetation.
The METRIS 2 is also presented in a version that suits a simpler type of requirement, the « METRIS 2 S ». This model has the same numerous advantages as the METRIS 2, but is designed for farmers who need a 3,000 litre capacity and booms up to 30 m.
