How does the RapidFire system work?
The RapidFire system provides instantaneous, individual, nozzle shutoff that is controlled by air operated solenoids at each nozzle – this system replaces the boom valves, and standard check valves, that shutoff the boom sections and nozzles. This provides greater flexibility in changing boom section widths and faster shutoff at the nozzle. Air operated solenoids are inexpensive and low maintenance. The RapidFire system reduces the amount of plumbing on the sprayer and allows for the fitting of a boom recirculation system. The ability to have more boom sections also works perfectly in conjunction with autoboom shut-off systems. The RapidFire system can also be an economical alternative to traditional booms with multiple boom section control valves.
