The OCLL APUS 5 is a simple tractor-mounted directional air blast sprayer which features a small anti-drift tower for spraying horizontally or vertically.
It is specifically designed for use in compact spaces, on sloping ground, or with tight headlands, where there is minimal room for manoeuvre.
Particularly in Kent, we find that a lot of our fruit customers have orchards planted on sites with steep gradients and heavy soils. Having a mounted sprayer alongside a trailed option is the only way to guarantee that sprayer-operators can get out in the spring, when the orchard floor is exceptionally slippery and problematic.
The OCLL APUS 5 can also be fitted with a SprayTrol monitoring system which has a number of unique programmable features to help make life easy for operators.
The range of OCLL sprayers from Carrarospray, including the APUS 5 sprayer, remains the most economically priced sprayers for growers with smaller-sized orchards or vineyards. We have stocked Carrarospray since the mid-1980s and have always noted how these well-built sprayers, which have a modern design to ensure that the unit passes through the crop without causing damage to plants, have consistently proven to give many years of reliable service.
