Combining maximum accuracy with minimum drift: Techneat unveils 2 battery powered additions to its pedestrian sprayer line-up.

Cambridgeshire based manufacturer Techneat Engineering has added 2 new eco-friendly models to its range of world class pedestrian sprayers, with both the Pro-Espray and Prodrift machines offering groundcare professionals a step forward in performance with significant environmental and economic benefits.

Combining maximum accuracy with minimum drift

New for 2024, the Pro-ESpray represents a major improvement in battery powered electric sprayers – offering unrivalled performance, fingertip controls and built-in safety features.

Key features include a high-capacity Li-on battery and diaphragm pump specifically designed to offer excellent flow and pressure outputs. The Pro-Esprays’ control systems are based on the companies well established engine driven SPPS model, offering operators individual three-way boom section controls.

Superior sprayer accuracy is combined with triple nozzle holders on a choice of 3 or 4m boom options making the Pro-ESpray a very effective machine, with both noise exposure and vibrations practically eliminated for maximum operator comfort. Advanced safety features include a built-in auto brake, emergency stop and a resettable fuse to protect the operator.

Completing Techneat’s new line-up is the Prodrift. The Prodrift keeps spray drift to an absolute minimum whilst maintaining maximum accuracy and offers operator’s unparalleled manoeuvrability due to its unique 3-wheel set up.

Using a high-power Li-on battery to power a 12v pump supplying 4 spray nozzles mounted into a spray hood, the Prodrift has 2 fixed rear wheels and a front mounted, single pivot wheel enabling it to spray up against boundary edges with a tough roto moulded boom cover and flexible integrated skirt retaining all spray drift. This enables the machine to be used in both critical areas and perform in less than favourable weather conditions.

Pressure control is easy to adjust using a highly visible pressure gauge and the Prodrift also offers a simple handle bar mounted on/off switch, low decibel noise output and low vibration levels for improved operator comfort and performance.

Lantra Shines a Light on Land-based Careers

March 4, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Nicola Austin

Lantra Shines a Light on Land-based Careers: The spotlight is on land-based and environment careers during this year’s National Careers Week, showcasing the breadth and diversity of opportunities that exist in this exciting area.

Lantra, the leading awarding body for the land-based and environment sector, is highlighting that a career in this area is varied and open to all. From career seekers to career changers, there are entry-points and pathways for people from all backgrounds, and all walks of life, which are highlighted on the Lantra careers web resource.

Lantra Shines a Light on Land-based Careers

Stephanie Stevens, Careers and Engagement Manager at Lantra commented: “There is a challenge in making young people, particularly, aware that the land-based and environment sector exists – never mind the range of jobs that fall under farming, looking after trees, landscaping and so much more!”.

“Lantra is delighted to be celebrating #NationalCareersWeek, following our recent attendance at What Career? Live. We want to support and empower individuals to take the next step in their career by finding out more about pathways like apprenticeships, further education, and the many vocations the sector has to offer”.

Lantra had a presence for the first time at the busy What Career? Live event which took place on the 1 and 2 March. The careers team were joined by Ollie Brisbourne, who works for a virtual fencing business and is an active member of the Newport Young Farmers Club in Shropshire, who also spoke at the event.

Ollie said: “Agriculture is modernising day by day, with technology becoming a more benefiting factor throughout. My job has allowed me to maximize the benefit of my understanding of the farming industry and farmers themselves, to offer support within the use of Nofence and the data provided.

This system enables fencing virtually, working with GPS and mobile signal to keep livestock within the virtual boundary, benefiting both animal welfare, habitat management, and a variety of other farming systems.”
