SPIKER EVI

SPIKER has been specifically designed for the direct injection of high viscosity fluids such as trace elements, fungicides & soil wetters. These liquids are sometimes difficult to pump & can cause compatibility problems with some tank mixes. SPIKER allows the operator to inject these products into the main delivery line via a controlled venturi/pressure mechanism prior to the distribution manifolds.

The Stainless Steel SPIKER cabinet houses a hydraulically driven LQS Enhanced Bertolini 20/25 piston diaphragm poly pump, 12V electric precision auto-rate valve set, filtration & associated plumbing. The SPIKER pump & supporting hardware is designed to accurately meter ultra low flow rates of Zn, Mn, & Cu as well as fungicides & soil wetters. Where variable rate technology is used SPIKER can maintain a constant rate of trace element injection even if the liquid fertiliser is changing, ie. UAN.

For fluid carts with an existing Liquid Systems (SA) pump module the SPIKER can be hydraulically series connected without the requirement for extra hydraulic flow. A pre-set flow block sandwich is provided, the sandwich section being positioned under the standard flow block that is mounted atop the hydraulic motor that drives the pump on the pump module. The sandwich is connected to the SPIKER via the hydraulic hoses that are supplied in the kit. The sandwich has been factory pre-set to deliver a flow of oil to the SPIKER motor ensuring that the pump rotates at approx. 600 rpm. SPIKER operation can be switched off if not required via an isolation valve located in/on the series sandwich. Suction, tank agitation & all necessary hose kits are provided.

The unit does not come standard with the L2 rate controller as the system can be controlled using the second channel in our Liquid Systems (SA) L2 rate controller. The SPIKER can be interfaced to other rate controllers provided that they are capable of processing a Cal. factor of 6,000 PPL.
