Concentrated innovation for more precision and increased safety
The new trailed sprayer OCEANIS 5002, 5602, 6502 and 7702 with tank capacities of 5000L, 5600L, 6500L and 7700L, evolve to continuously meet the new needs of the market. A sprayer must have more and more precision with a good respect of environmental rules and user safety. In this way, KUHN has developed its new trailed sprayer OCEANIS 2 to have the following innovations:
The new MULSTISPRAY spraying system with electric nozzle holders allows:
-
In cab selection of the nozzle without turning manually the nozzle holders,
-
Automatic choice of the nozzle depending on the working speed or in function with a variable rate map in order to make rate modulation. The goal is to keep an excellent spraying quality
-
Automatic opening and closing by GPS for each nozzle in order to reduce overlapping.
-
An evolution of the automatic cleaning system RINSASSIST in ISOBUS to become very user friendly and intuitive, the spraying system is shown on the sprayer terminal to explain the automatic and strategic cleaning sequences of the machine.
-
A new automatic agitation system STOPMIX which allows the sprayer to automatically switch off the agitation avoiding creating foam at the end of a spraying task. It also reduces the dead volume of product in the tank at the end of work.
-
A new chemical induction bowl equipped with EASYFLOW system in order to increase safe conditions for users. This CTS (Close Transfer System) allow the operator to induct liquid chemical products without any chance of chemical contact upon the user. It also cleans the chemical can, always avoiding contact with operator.
-
Boom self-levelling system BOOM ASSIST TOTAL PRO, which allows the user to put the boom in the right position whatever the field and crop conditions. It again increases spraying precision by a reduction of the drift. This system is equipped as standard with the patented “HYBRID mode” which allows, with only 3 sensors, to distinguish between crop and ground level, whatever the hazards (high density crops like OSR or potatoes, lodging,…)
In addition to these innovations, the OCEANIS 2 has the following main characteristics:
- Polyester tanks of 5000, 5600, 6500 and 7700 litres for a simple rinsing. Fitted with baffles, these tanks allow an excellent machine stability during transport.
-
Three levels of handling MANUSET, DILUSET + and e-SET, to match all user needs.
-
Depending on the specification, one or two ergonomic valve hand wheels allow for easier use.
-
There are less number of valve manipulations and risks of making mistakes. An integral suspension with 4 levels (drawbar, axle, parallelogram and boom), for excellent stability during spraying, and also on roads.
-
ISOBUS Electronic regulation with CCI200 controller or CANBUS regulation with the VISIOREB controller.
-
Aluminium booms of 24 to 48m with compact folding and EQUILIBRA suspension, which ensures lightness, stability when spraying and compactness for transport.
