EVERYONE WINS. THE FMR RANGE OF R AND V-SERIES VINEYARD SPRAYERS
Safety. Productivity. Economy. The patented technology in the FMR range of R and V-Series sprayers has been purposefully developed to mitigate the risks of spray application to operators and the surrounding community and ensure every drop counts through radically reduced wastage and spraying costs. Vineyard managers and owners now have peace-of- mind that their teams are well equipped for greater productivity and simplicity of operation, and are working to the highest standard in sprayer health and safety.
20 REASONS WHY AN R OR V-SERIES SPRAYER IS THE SMART CHOICE FOR COMMERCIAL VINEYARD OPERATIONS.
Every drop on the crop. 1. R and V-Series sprayers generate air independently from the spray droplets. With the right nozzle selection, this enables precise control of droplet size and spray volume. 2. The Tangential Fan system delivers an even curtain of high volume, low pressure air from the top to the bottom of the fan. This eliminates ‘striping’ and uneven coverage that can occur with systems requiring more complex or frequent setup alterations. 3. Targeted application. The ability to turn nozzles off means spray can be quickly and easily directed at small areas (e.g. dormant or early season growth) without the need for spray head or nozzle adjustments. 4. The negative pressure plume generated by the Tangential Fan in the R-Series recycling sprayer creates a vacuum effect on the recovery side that collects spray droplets for maximum redistribution and elimination of spray drift.
“The ability of the R-Series sprayer to operate in the wind gives us bigger spray windows and time savings of around 30% through reduced wastage and less refills. On top of that we’re saving about $20K per year on chemicals. It’s a great return on investment!” - Jamie Trickett, Brown Brothers, Tasmania.
Easy set-up.
5. New operators need only a few minutes of basic instruction on preparing the sprayer for operation. No specialist knowledge is required for adjusting the Tangential Fan system to provide optimum spray coverage across any row width or canopy. 6. No tools required. Changing the spray application rate is simply a matter of rotating the double rollover selector nozzles to select the right size. Our new quarter turn quick caps make nozzle fitting and cleaning easy.
Safer all round.
7. The entire sprayer is driven with hydraulic motors, which means no heavy lifting of dangerous and maintenance-prone PTO shafts. Connecting two hydraulic hoses to your tractor is all that’s required. 8. Boom adjustments are controlled electronically from the comfort and safety of the enclosed tractor cab to reduce operator exposure to the contaminated sprayer. 9. The Tangential Fan generates quieter air than other sprayers - enhancing operator comfort, eliminating the risk of hearing damage and minimising annoyance to neighbours.

Built to last.
12. A robust chassis and frame is a feature of all R and V-Series sprayers. All are built to accommodate the maximum weight of a fully spec’d R-Series machine. 13. Structural steelwork is galvanised for long lasting corrosion resistance. Other steel components are made from stainless steel or brass. 14. Electrics, electronics, valves, pumps and hydraulic blocks are mounted at the rear of the sprayer on a sliding tray for ease-of-access. All components are secure and can be locked away if required. 15. Hydraulic hoses and electrical cables are covered or shielded to prevent damage during operation and from exposure to UV light. 16. The composite tank with high gloss gel-coat surface means residue washes off easily, restoring the tank to good as new.
More economy. Less waste.
18. 25% - 40% saving on chemical costs. The R-Series recycling system captures off-target drift, filters it and returns it to the tank for reuse. 19. A larger tank capacity combined with the recapture and recycling of spray drift reduces the frequency of tank refilling as well as operator time on the job. A higher work rate means the V and R-Series cover more area per tank than conventional sprayers. 20. The hydraulically driven Tangential Fan system requires less tractor power, which means savings on fuel, as well as tractor wear and tear.
The R-Series delivery system
17. A damaged composite tank is easily fixed with a fibreglass repair kit. These repairs are stronger, more permanent and look tidier.
Rollover nozzle body for fast rate changes Tangential Fan
Low pressure / high volume revolving vortex Composite shroud for strength and machine hygiene Central turbulent zone.
Left to right: 1. All functions of the R&V Series are controlled from the safety of the tractor cab. 2. The R-Series shrouds enable spray recapture to minimise drift. 3. The R-Series tangential fan system directs turbulent air at the canopy, causing leaves to flutter and exposing both sides for maximum spray penetration.
