> Chassis: stable and flexible use

> Chassis consisting of two wide struts withgenerous spacing and a relatively low centre ofgravity to optimise the stability on slopes > BERTHOUD ultra-high resistance paint protectsthe surface

> ACTIFLEX axle suspension(on the “S” version)

ACTIFLEX is the only suspension system on themarket using a “non-linear” spring reaction toobtain a variable stiffness depending on axleforces and loads. This system permanently adaptsto load to ensure optimal suspension at all times.

> Follow your tracks with BERTHOUD

TRACKER can be equipped with anoptional tracking drawbar. Whenhitched to the link arms of the tractor,this drawbar ensures optimal stabilityon flat ground and slopes.The drawbar can be controlledmanually with automatic resetting.

> The DP Tronic provides second generationelectronic regulation based on a pressure sensor

Simply program your treatment, and the regulationsystem will take care of the rest. The DP Tronic valve,controlled by the processor, controls the flow at theboom based on boom forward speed and pressure.

> Pressure sensor-based regulation has severalbenefits:

increased precisionunaffected by cloggingno calibrated returnsreduced maintenance

> DP Tronic benefits:

pplication

> The DPA: “100% mechanical” reliability

Exclusive to BERTHOUD, mechanical DPA regulation can beused for the TRACKER range. The VOLUX BERTHOUD dosingpump, driven by the sprayer wheel, ensures a constantvolume/ha independent of forward speed.

> The VOLUX pump

Double-acting piston pump with a capacity of 240l/min. or320l/min. as an option. The pump is driven by a PTO connectedto the sprayer wheel.The pump disengages thanks to an electrical-hydraulic controllocated in the cab terminal

How to adjust volume/Ha?The VOLUX pump is volumetric, therefore you have twomeans of controlling volume/ha:> Adjustment of pump drive speed (two speeds available).> Adjustment of piston travel; either manually on the pump or from the control panel using theTELEVOLUX option.

> The TELEVOLUX control

The optional TELEVOLUX terminal can beused to control volume/ha from the controlpanel thanks to a motor on the pump.This motor will adapt pump displacementto user demand.

> BERJUST 2000 terminal

This optional monitor can be used to alternatelydisplay volume/ha and forward speed.This monitor can also display the number of litressprayed and the surface covered upon request

> Simplified operation

Centrifugal pump with a capacity of 400l/min. driven by thetractor PTO for the following operations:> Filling> Agitation> Rinsing of the tank and boom

All 16 functions of thesystem are controlledwith only 2 valves:> Two-stage valve forsuction and discharge> Filter isolation valve

Extremely precise and easy-to-use regulationPump flow independent to engine speed:reduced fuel consumptionSlow pump rotation speed:reduced wearEasy operation

BOOM SELECTION

> THE AXIALE BOOM: the bench-mark product

Available from 24 to 33 m, the AXIALE boom is a benchmark product for BERTHOUD boomsThis boom is fitted on a central pivot pin near to its centre of gravity, and balance is maintained bysprings located between the fixed frame and the oscillating frameFor widths of 30 - 33 m, the AXIALE 2 boom integrates two independent arm/arm shock absorbers which limit the yaw of the boom during acceleration and braking phases

AXIALE boom suspension

> BOOM CONTROL (option)

Automatic regulation of boom height usingultrasound sensors.

> Folding and cutting

CONTINUOUS CIRCULATION (DP Tronic only)Pneumatic anti-drip devices are used for continuous flow and allow for theinstantaneous opening or closing of the spray system.This system can be used, among other things, to achieve rapid priming at thestart of the plot, but also improve the effectiveness of rinsing and ensure theabsence of clogging at the ends of sections.A compressor at the rear of the device closes the system pneumatically.

BERTHOUD sprayers can also be equipped with semi-continuous flow. This system can allow the continuous flow of liquid while spraying to avoidclogging at the end of sections. This type of flow can be beneficial for users ofpowder products and for low-volume treatment operations.
