High performance for new CIMA headers

In the spraying sector, at EIMA International, all eyes are on the Cima stand. The company from Montù Beccaria (Pavia) will be at the Bologna show with two new products, the Green Hug and Power Blow models. Green Hug is a distribution head designed for the most performing sprayers in the Cima range. It delivers enough air flow to guarantee uniform coverage of the vegetative wall and the necessary penetration even when there are significant leaf masses. The particular structure of the frame - emphasises the Lombardy-based company - enhances operational versatility, while the management of hydraulic movements and spraying controls, directly from the tractor driver's seat, ensures optimum operator comfort. In addition to the primary functions for positioning the header for road transport and work, the hydraulic system manages the independent movement and adjustment of the two booms; this solution is recommended for treatments in rows with widths between 1.8 and 3.3 metres. In addition, with Green Hug it is possible to treat two adjacent rows at the same time, thanks to the four diffusers with adjustable angle (of the four-finger "hand" type), which ensure an even distribution of plant protection products. The particular shape of the diffusers allows them to be used in different types of vertically developed crops, such as vineyards, raspberries, blueberries, or more generally espalier crops. The second new product that Cima will be presenting at EIMA 2022, the Power Blow model, is a header designed to work in difficult conditions without sacrificing high performance. In rows of up to three metres, the Power Blow header provides optimal control of treatments, thanks to the new upper cannons that deliver a high air flow and ensure complete coverage of the vegetation. The hydraulic cannon controls allow the operator to manage them directly from the cab, thus improving the versatility of the distribution system. Finally, the other pluses of the Power Blow header include the two lower hands with four diffusers and the two intermediate hands with two diffusers; this configuration makes it possible to carry out treatments with alternating row passes.
