Description of the Machine
The Dash has two primary objectives; reduce fill times to keep the sprayer spraying, and to keep
chemicals separated. The Dash comes with two pumps, a high delivery water pump with a 13hp
Honda motor and air diaphragm pump capable of 40 gpm used for auto rinsing and the agitation of
dry products. The design allows operators to load multiple products for the next sprayer load ahead of
time while keeping chemicals separated. Once connected to the sprayer, the operator can stand at
the side of the trailer, completely loading the sprayer with up to four different products without moving.
The process of loading four different chemicals into a 1,200 gal sprayer will take less than four
minutes.
