HARDI NAVIGATOR
HARDI HC 5500 Controller (If fitted)
The HARDI HC 5500 is an easy to use controller,
featuring preset keys and a large 4-line display. The
control panel and LCD display screen mount in the
tractor cab via the single cable.
Please refer to the HARDI HC 5500 Controller Manual.
EVC operating unit
The EVC operating unit is a modular assembly, consist-
ing of a pressure regula tion with remote-mounted gauge,
and distribution valves with pressure equalisation.This
ensures a constant volume per hectare of the liquid (l/
ha) at varying forward speed within the same gear
when the PTO revolutions are between 300 - 600 rpm.
The operating unit is fully electrically controlled via the
HARDI 2500 or 5500 Controller.
Filters
Integrated Hardi filters ensure optimal filtration of spray
liquids, preventing system blockages and promoting
consistent and accurate application of chemicals . The
water supply is first filtered as it passes through the Fast
Fill Filter into the tanks. The top mounted suction filter
and the self-cleaning filter prevent impurities entering
the spray circuit, while further filtration can be achieved
by optional In-line filters, before the spray solution
reaches the nozzles. Fine mesh filters within the nozzles
finally prevent small particles blocking the nozzle openings.
Booms
Booms feature trapeze suspension and an integrated
spring suspension system with shock absorber
dampening.
Boom heights are adjusted with a PARALIFT (parallelo-
gram boom lift).
The HARDI NAVIGATOR boom options are as follows:
1 FALCON PARALIFT 12.5-16.5m Hydraulic Lift,
Hydraulic Fold & Optional Hydraulic Tilt.
2 EAGLE PARALIFT 18-30M Hydraulic Lift, Hydraulic
Fold & Optional Hydraulic Tilt.
Refer to the Boom Operators Manual supplied.
HARDI foam markers
The high capacity double-sided foam marker system
fitted is 12 volt operated. It uses a small fluid pump to
drive the foam mixture from the140L tank. Compressed
air is then used to generate foam at the foam generators.
This aerated foam is then forced to the selected boom
end, to be dropped via the dropper.
GRANNI POT Chemical Induction System
A 60 litre mixing and transfer hopper, safely transfers all
chemical liquids, powders and granules to the sprayer
tank.The GRANNI POT drum rinse nozzle can be used
to flush empty containers.
When fitted with a Vacuum Transfer assembly, a suction
probe sucks liquid from a container into the Granni Pot,
where it is mixed and then transferred to the Main Tank.
Description
Frame
The frame is an all steel construction. It has a strong
chemical and weather resistant powder coated finish.
Suspension
When fitted, features trailing arms, coil springs and oil
shock absorbers.
Adjustable Width Axles
When fitted, allows width adjustment between 1.5 and
3.0 metres, subject to suspension and wheel equipment.
Tank
UV-resistant Polyethylene tank, designed with limited
sharp corners for easy agitation, emptying and cleaning.
Nominal contents are 3000, 4000 or 5000 litres. (Tank
contents can differ from nominal due to production variances.
Pump
A 363/540 rpm Hardi diaphragm pump is fitted (or,
depending on boom width, optional 363/1000 rpm or
463/540 or 1000). All diaphragm pumps feature a dry
sump and grease lubrication, and have easily accessi-
ble valves and diaphragms.
Optional Ace centrifugal pumps are also available. Ace
Pumps have factory lubricated bearings and require
no further lubrication.
HARDI SMART VALVE system
Functions of the sprayer circuit are selected via the
centrally located HARDI SMART VALVES, featuring
colour coding and clear symbols for easy operation.
Flush tank
A 500L tank is fitted for the purpose of flushing the boom,
controls, filters and to pre-flush the main tank, depending
on the chosen position of the SMART VALVE handles.
The tank is hinged to allow easy access to the SMART
VALVES for maintenance, and the moulded steps and
platform feature a slip resistant washable surface on the
treads.
Flush nozzle
The flush nozzles fitted inside the main tank, operated
with the SMART VALVE system, are used to flush the
tank during cleaning and decontamination procedures.
