An AgWeb.com Farm Equipment Special Raven Industries is introducing Switch Pro as a product controller with advanced technology. They say Switch Pro provides a state-of-the-art control system when teamed up with the superior technology of Envizio Pro or Viper Pro field computers.
According to their new product announcement, Switch Pro eliminates consoles from the cab providing more room with less clutter by combining the technology of several devices into one easy-to-use console including: single product control (liquid or NH3), 10 boom section control, a speed sense control and AccuBoom boom section control.
They estimate the cost savings for Switch Pro automatic section control can vary from 5% to 30% over manual operation, depending on the shape and size of the field, the type of application and the actual equipment/system used.
Growers using any of Raven’s spray controllers, like the Raven 440, can upgrade easily to one of Raven’s multi-function field computers using Raven’s new Switch Pro automatic section control capability. Switch Pro plugs directly into Raven’s Envizio Pro or Viper Pro field computer.
Switch Pro’s single product, automatic on-off section control is suited for nearly all spray equipment— and is easily installed with existing cabling. With a Raven field computer, Switch Pro improves coverage while avoiding no-spray zones and previously sprayed areas for chemical savings of up to eight percent or more, according to Raven.
