FertiDozer
The FertiDozer is a
non controlled
fertigation machine.
It consists of:
• The Fertilizer
pumps are not
equipped with the
electric fertilizer
valve.
• Two Fertilizer
Pumps: one of 1200
L/H and the other
(for acid) of 160
L/H.
• The injection of
fertilizer is
constant according
to the setting made
by the operator.
• Main Line
Pressure: Up to 4
bars. (Higher
pressure models are
available via
special order.)
The Machine Components:
The structure of all
machines types include
• Aluminium Frame:
Strong, modular, non
corrosive.
• Piping and Fittings:
PVC non corrosive piping
installation.
• Electric Table: All of
the necessary
connections to be ready
for use including
starter for the booster
pump.
Venturi Pump
This "T" shape device
converts the speed of
the water into suction
and causes the
fertilizer to mix in the
water. Two models are
available:
• Standard model - 350
liter per hour.
• High flow modes - 1200
L/H
The venturi pump
contains:
• Venturi body: a "T"
shape body with a unique
nozzle inside.
• Electric valves:
Installed on the
entrance of the Venturi
body it can be either
fully open or closed. It
is connected to the
controller and is
controlled by it. The
controller calculates
the required
injection rate and
operates the solenoid
accordingly. Its
changing rate is
normally 1-2 second
working time and about
the same pausing time.
• Flow Meter: A
transparent conic tube
with a ball inside. The
ball rises according to
the momentary flow rate
of the fertilizer. It is
equipped with a small
valve for adjustment of
the flow rate.
• The Fertimeter:
(optional): A fertilizer
meter that sends pulses
to the controller thus
ena bling
fertilization according
to volume.
• Hydraulic Normally
Closed Valve: To prevent
the leakage of
fertilizer into the
empty line while the
system is idle.
Booster Pump
An electric stainless
steel (non corrosive)
pump, ranging from 2 HP
up to 25 HP - depending
on the type and size of
the machine. The booster
pump causes the high
speed flow through the
Venturi thus enabling
the suction of the
fertilizer. In the
Fertimix it also builds
up the pressure of the
irrigation water.
• Electric Pressure Stat
- to prevent operation
in the electric pump in
"No Water" conditions.
• A Pressure Sustaining
Valve to prevent cavity
in the Electric Pump.
• Level Sensor for
automation and
information.
The ECpH System
A system that includes a
sampling cell with two
electrodes EC and pH,
that are connected to an
electronic monitor. The
monitor converts the
electrodes signal to a
standard 4-20 mA signal
read by the Galileo
Controller. The Monitor
is equipped with a
display and a keyboard
enabling the
constant and clear
presentation of the
readings during
operation. The monitor
also serves for
calibration of the
electrode readings.
