Lemken’s mounted Sirius field sprayers are available with tank volumes of up to 1,900 litres, but the new Gemini front tank can now be added to increase the volume by another 1100 litres. This system not only increases acreage performance, but also ensures superior stability during travel as tractor loads are more evenly distributed.
The Gemini front tank is designed to match the Sirius mounted field sprayer perfectly. For optimum interaction between the two devices, the Sirius can be fitted with an optional electric selection valve that is comfortably operated from a terminal in the tractor cab.
The Gemini front tank is available in two variations: the basic model allows the full volume to be used for fresh water or liquid fertiliser, while the model for crop protection products comprises a powerful agitator to ensure that spraying liquids remain homogeneously mixed at all times without forming any deposits.
The agitator and internal cleaning system are both fed by a hydraulic pump. The Gemini is easily operated via two selection valves for switching between suction, clear water or spraying liquid, agitation and cleaning.
The Gemini front tank also features a well thought-out external design. Its substructure is smooth to prevent any plants from getting caught, and a special mounting frame provides large ground clearance for working with tall crops.
The tank has a flat design to maintain optimum visibility, and the lower link coupling points can be flexibly selected in the direction of travel. An optional mounting carriage considerably shortens the mounting time for the front tank as it does away with the need to screw individual rollers on or off.
The combination of the Sirius mounted field sprayer and Gemini front tank proves its full worth on hilly fields. Its outstanding manoeuvrability, combined with a tank volume of about 3,000 litres, makes it an excellent alternative to trailed field sprayers.
