LEA3 aluminium boom: a boom designed for precision spraying
With over 30 years of experience installing aluminium booms on spraying systems, KUHN continues to innovate. The latest addition to our range is the LEA3 aluminium boom. This new unit is designed especially for precise spraying tasks.
Key properties:
-
Working width of 27 to 33m
-
ALUMINIUM structure, lightweight and naturally resistant to corrosion,
-
Triple-arm design for compact folding and ease of transportation,
-
Pipes are fully protected across the whole width of the boom, ensuring superior reliability for the spraying outlets,
-
EQUILIBRIA suspension with pendulum-link system combined with hydro-pneumatic anti-whip technology for exceptional stability and extended life expectancy.
-
All components adhere to strict KUHN standards, with stainless steel pipes and spray filters located on the boom (for all circulation formats), limiting the risk of blocking and enabling you to work with maximum efficiency.
The major innovation of the LEA3 boom is the option of positioning the nozzles at intervals of 25 or 50cm. Spacing the nozzles at 25cm intervals works with booms which get right up close to the crop, where the product being sprayed is less vulnerable to air currents. To optimise spraying operations, KUHN has also developed a new electronic control system known as BOOM ASSIST EXTREM, ensuring that the boom remains at a steady distance of 50 cm above the ground in order to minimise drift as much as possible.
Further refining the precision of spraying operations, the LEA3 boom is designed to be compatible with the MULTISPRAY DUO and QUATTRO automatic discharge selection programmes. Available exclusively on OCEANIS 2 trailed sprayers, this new boom has been designed and produced by KUHN and will be available in limited quantities only from 2018.
