Munckhof's Magic Machine Materialises

Munckhof have been quietly dominating the sprayer sphere for a good few years now, consistently producing the most premium quality machines with the best coverage on the market. They've taken the solid base of the much loved 3 and 1 row airbags and added plenty of technology to not just keep them at the front of the race but streak ahead. In recent years they've taken massive strides to increase efficiency with precision spraying wasting not one precious drop of your liquid gold but now the brainbots there have taken it to the next dimension by taking each of your tree and treating it like the princess it really is.

Collaboration has long been Munckhof's mantra, rather than try and be a specialist in everything they've opted to stick to their lane and produce the best sprayers possible but align with other incredible companies to stretch the boundaries of what's possible in fruit tree spraying. Looking to technology from our larger agricultural brethrens we now offer PWM nozzles for variable rate spraying and combining with with the new LIDAR sprayer, this means your whole tree gets sprayed in exactly the same and more importantly the right way.

Using space-age technology, our sprayer detects organic matter and judges the distance from our nozzles - it then decides how much spray to put out and at what rates based on this distance to perfectly cover the tree to just beyond the middle, the holy grail of destinations. Not too much, not too little. Not only does it judge the distance but it also senses the absence of organic matter and stops spraying where there is no mass, reducing spray consumption not just in existing orchards but most importantly in young orchards or those without too much leaf mass. We estimate a saving of around 20%-30% on your chemical costs depending on tree shape but much more with young trees.

We have just sold our first LIDAR equiped 1 row airbag sprayer, the first commercially available one in the UK and we'll be proudly displaying it at the National Fruit Show at Detling on the 5th of November at stand 011. Come check it out and marvel at it's brilliance
