Sometimes the future is hidden in plain sight and who would've thought Munckhof would keep innovating... Following on from their stunning 3 row sprayer, one row airbag sprayer and (previously new) Muller spray computer; Munckhof have pulled many a new machine out the bag. Each time the question of whether you can perfect perfection is asked, the answer is always yes. Munckhof span a large chunk of the outdoor sphere and produce machines which keep your trees free from disease and pests and then help pick the red (and sometimes green) balls of money with less damage and more productivity. Let's start at the start. The new kid on the block is the vision spray technology which utilises technology that Star Wars would be proud of. Clever one they ares. Laser technology is used to scan the row of trees in 25 places at 4000 times a second to tell each nozzle whether to spray and at what rate. This fully optimises the coverage and doesn't waste a drop of the liquid gold (price not colour) by spraying where a tree isn't. The system uses the PWM nozzle and a not insignificant amount of witchcraft to save between 20-40% on chemical use as well as optimising coverage which is vital to controlling scourges like scab and woolly aphid. This is available on all one row airbag sprayers Take a look at this video for some more info and a look at it working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pod-BKgHyvY Next up! 3 row sprayer developments. This is more evolution than revolution; our best seller gets better. Now, with the breath of client's feedback still hot on our ears there have been updated options for the 3 row sprayer including: automatic shut off filling valves, load sensing hydraulics to keep your tractor's oil nice & cool, smart cleaning program, PWM nozzles for variable rate spraying and automatic airbag adjustments. Give us a call, email or Whatsapp (if you're feeling millenial about it) to discuss what these actually mean! Lastly, (if you got this far, i'm proud of you. Too many words, too much (or little) information) let's talk about pluk-o-traks. The OG picking machine from which many a young pretender has been copied from. We heard what you've been saying about petrol engines, global warming & your love of batteries so we've created a fully electric (or hybrid..) picking machine to silently (I genuinely had to check it was still running at the dealer day...) and with much less strain, pick your entire crop. "Peter...." we hear you say "that's great but we don't know what size and colour the apples we've picked are though and it's getting us down". Fret not fictionally sad, but polite fruit grower, we have that covered too with the incredible M-Connect vision box which tells you who picked the bin, how many apples are in there, what colour, size and star sign (optional extra) they are before they even reach the cold store! This can be retrofitted to lesser picking machines of different colours by the way.... Information sheet below If any of the above has tickled a pickle, or piqued an interest don't hesistate to get in contact and we'd be more than happy to chat through in much more detail and hopefully more clarity than the above. Until next time, fine folks, stay safe and enjoy the sunshine
