Trailed sprayer HARDI model AEON
A high-tech sprayer guided by the principles of lean farming – to do more with less
Description
We have used the latest technology and the newest automation solutions to allow farmers to improve productivity while reducing waste. The AEON sets a new benchmark for increasing food production in the face of growing environmental and climatic concerns.
The AEON has been developed with the operator in mind. No detail has been left to chance in the search to optimise user-friendliness and operator safety.
It is built to last, but without compromising on design. It is a dazzling machine with a sleek design, smooth surfaces and covers to protect all vital parts and a dynamic outline that conceals a newly developed chassis.
With the unique tank design in the sizes 4200, 5200, 6000 and 7000 l for maximum stability and high capacity, the AEON is your working companion for all conditions.
The AEON offers perfect tracking, full suspension and a fully remote-operated spraying system.
The TWIN FORCE booms focuses on delivering precise spraying with its unique air-assistance mechanism, reducing drift and ensuring optimal chemical use.
Advantages
The Work Area – Intuitive Control
The work area on the left side of the sprayer provides the operator with safe control over all sprayer functions – filling, mixing, agitating and spraying.
- Comfortable, large and safe work area
- Covered work area with protective illuminated covers
- FluidBox 7000/8000 groups the main sprayer functions on one screen
- TurboFiller with integrated workbench
- Waterproof 40 liter tank
FluidBox 7000 / 8000
The intelligent FluidBox provides quick and direct access to common operations on one screen, including auto-fill, auto-mix and auto-wash.
- Intuitive color interface with convenient buttons
- Simple, integrated sprayer preparation calculator calculates pesticide and water volumes
- Master ON/OFF and emergency stop for all functions
- Nozzle test
TurboFiller – Fast and efficient mixing
The shape of the hopper and its special TurboDeflector at the bottom create a cyclonic effect that allows the mixing of even the most difficult to mix compounds.
- Fast filling and transfer to the main tank
- High mixing capacity for powders and liquids
- 35 l capacity with stainless steel content indicator
- Hopper with integrated table at working height
- Integrated rinsing system - 2 rinsing nozzles and 1 external tube
Hydraulic axle suspension
- Latest generation hydraulic suspension for complete absorption of movements during transport and field work.
- Integrated frame and axle design to reduce and deflect impact from obstacles.
- Single, robust cylinder ensures perfect suspension, even on slopes.
- Reliable and easy to service.
Excellent tank design for perfect weight distribution
AEON is available in four sizes: 4200, 5200, 6000 and 7000 litres. Each size is designed to meet the specific requirements of agricultural operations. The result is a new design with a wedge-shaped front section that ensures complete emptying of the tank, even in hilly terrain.
Perfect weight distribution is achieved with twin rinse tanks mounted on either side of the sprayer towards the front to keep the weight on the drawbar. By transferring the weight to the tractor, better traction is achieved towards the end of the spray. Add to this the excellent width to length ratio of the sprayer and longer booms will never be a problem. AEON offers fantastic boom stability, even at high speed.
With its perfectly positioned low centre of gravity and robust chassis, the AEON will withstand any endurance test.
ComfortTrack steering wheel control
Equipped with ComfortTrack steering, the AEON will always follow the tractor’s rear wheels, even on sharp turns, eliminating excessive crop damage. The sprayer’s compact design allows for a large turning angle of 27°. The combination of ComfortTrack and full suspension ensures a tight turning radius of just 6.3 m, as well as perfect boom position, even when turning at the headland.
TWIN FORCE air-assisted spraying system
TWIN FORCE booms focus on providing precision spraying with their unique air-assist mechanism, reducing drift and ensuring optimal chemical utilization.
TWIN FORCE Features:
- Increase spray capacity by at least 100%
- Reduce drift by up to 80%
- Save up to 30% on crop protection products
- Save water by at least 50%
- Improve crop penetration and coverage
- Improve spray economy
- Faster spray speeds
- Optimize time in the field
- 35+ years of experience
PulseSystem
Together with the TWIN system, which already has best-in-class features for reduced drift and better coverage, the HARDI PulseSystem further supports effective targeting of the agents, directly from the operator's seat.
By opening and closing the nozzles, the HARDI PulseSystem can keep them open from 30 to 100% at the same flow pressure, while ensuring that the droplet size remains unchanged. Therefore, the same nozzle can be used at several different forward speeds.
At the same time, drift is minimized and the flow rate is optimized, as the most optimal droplet size can be maintained, unlike a conventional system where more drift will occur the more liquid you try to force through the nozzles.
