Ag Leader has launched a complete spray tank recirculation solution, BoomLoop, for sprayers that feature the companies’ RightSpot nozzle control system. The upgrade integrates with InCommand displays and creates a “streamlined path for product to flow from boom ends and back into the spray tank.” 

“This eliminates dead spots and opportunities for product buildup,” says Logan Handsake, product sales specialist.

Controlled from the cab via Ag Leader’s InCommand 1200 display, efficiencies are gained both by having a single system interface to manage sprayer functions, as well as automation of the boom priming process. BoomLoop automates the procedure without the operator having to spray product on the ground, according to the company.

Automatic sequencing of the section valves also ensures the entire boom is fully primed or flushed even when the boom is folded or not sitting level. That means the contained recirculation process can occur even during transport to save time.

“The goal was to remove the complexities and potential hazards tied to priming with an automated solution that gives the operator confidence and peace of mind,” Handsaker says, noting the upgrade will also help minimize chemical waste.

Another potential operator benefit is the ability to initiate the recirculation process automatically (when not applying) when fully automated mode is activated on the InCommand display.
