The D-40R single reverse fan Air Blast orchard sprayer stands out for its power, performance, and user-friendly design. It effectively covers large and tall trees found in citrus, walnut, almond, pistachio, cherry, and apple orchards. Powered by a fuel-efficient John Deere © 173-horsepower turbo diesel engine and a Myers © 2-stage centrifugal pump, it ensures reliable operation.
Its innovative reverse fan design eliminates leaf plugging issues typical of traditional rear suction fans and eliminates chemical recirculation, simplifying daily maintenance. With composite nylon adjustable air vanes, individual shut-off valves, and ceramic nozzles, the D-40R precisely directs airflow and spray materials, minimizing chemical usage and drift while maximizing coverage efficiency. This advanced technology supports growers in achieving optimal crop protection and management outcomes, enhancing both productivity and sustainability.
