ARAG BRS kits are available now for John Deere R-series sprayers and for most other leading sprayer models can be retro-fitted
Apart from solving any issues with John Deere R-series sprayers and including Case IH Patriot and RoGator, a universal BRS kit is coming soon for all sectional sprayers.
All sprayer operators know that chemical contamination is a common problem.
This is mostly caused by stagnant chemical residue in the sprayer plumbing due to lack of circulation.
Boom sprayers are generally plumbed in a manner that generates a ‘dead spot’ at the ends of each section tube.
The solution to this problem is now available as an “off the shelf” product from ARAG Australia, via its Australia wide dealer distribution network.
Originally designed for the John Deere Exactapply system, Arag’s BRS can now be fitted to any sprayer.
ARAG Australia’s new Boom Recirculation System (BRS) was developed in house by Dillon Eldredge and has solved the ‘Dead spot’ problem for John Deere SP boom owners throughout Australia and Canada.
“The BRS is a common rail, retrofittable, full boom recirculation system. It’s a simple, single spray/recirculate switch, that controls the BRS independently of sprayers operating system,” Dillon explained.
Spray Mode On
When spraying, the whole boom is pressurized due to the liquid being fed from the centre and both ends of the boom sprayer and sprayed to the ground via the nozzles.
As shown in the Spray Mode diagram below.
Spray Mode Off
When not spraying, the centre feed switches to “recirc mode” and returns all flow to the tank.
As shown in the Recirculating Mode diagram below right.
The BRS creates continuous flow through the entire boom with return to tank.
This promotes additional chemical agitation and as a result eliminates the need for priming.
Flushing options
Another major advantage using the Arag BRS is the three flushing options; either out of the system for safe disposal, through the nozzles or back to tank for a full clean.
Arag Australia’s BRS kits for John Deere R-Series sprayers have been available since early 2020 and have received excellent customer and dealer reviews in Australia and more recently from overseas operators.
New BRS kits to suit other makes and models are now also available for Case Patriot, Rogator and a universal BRS for all sectional sprayers.
“It’s a simple retro-fit, or pre-delivery Dealer installation,” Dillon explained.
“Priced from $11,900 plus GST and installation that consists of just two people, one day, some additional hose and hose clamps. The cost/benefit analysis is positive anyway you look at it,” Dillon added.
The ARAG parent company was established in 1976 and is now recognised around the world for its spraying accessories and precision farming applications.
With its fully pledged Australian subsidiary based in South Australia since 2015, local product development and support is a key part of our strategy for expansion.
This is achieved through the Arag Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Dealer and Online Distributor networks.
“Whether it’s field mapping, application management or data collection, Arag has a solution that will provide savings through highly targeted applications.
“Developments such as the Seletron system Individual Nozzle control system and now the BRS have seen amazing savings made through more accurate and efficient chemical applications.”
“Down time on these big modern machines can be very costly, so every hour the sprayer is running needs to be maximised to apply product. The BRS is the solution,” Dillon concluded.
