Designed for precision spraying in horticulture, our spray robots feature advanced and automated systems. They operate remotely, navigating between rows of crops and applying pesticides or other treatments with a high degree of accuracy. Their versatility increases efficiency and sustainability. Spray booms continue to play an important role in protecting crops in greenhouses. Royal Brinkman offers vertical and horizontal options with versatile bases to meet the evolving needs of professional horticulture. We continue to lead the way in providing innovative tools for modern practices.

Royal Brinkman offers a wide range of spray booms from renowned brands such as Alumax and Empas BV. Vertical boom sprayers are mainly used in ornamental crops such as roses and carnations and vegetable crops such as tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. With the help of a spray boom you can achieve an optimal penetration of the crop protection product. Especially in low-growing crops it is important that there are enough nozzles or nozzles at the bottom. The nozzles are fully rotatable, allowing you to adjust the spray angle.

Regular maintenance of a spray boom is very important for the spray pattern and dispensing. Failure to do so can negatively affect the spray pattern and dispersion, as a result of which crop protection agents cannot reach the crop optimally. In particular, the nozzles and filters of the spray boom are an important part of the maintenance of the pylons. Regular maintenance and checks reduce the use of crop protection agents, prolong the lifespan, reduce the risk of exposure and reduce the risk of environmental pollution. 

It is important to determine which type and which length you need of the spray boom. Partly, this is determined by the kind of crop you grow. A horizontal spray boom is usually used for ornamental and potted plant cultivation. The reason for this is that because these crops need to be sprayed or irrigated from the top. This is different for vegetable crops, because these crops grow upward, as for example in tomato cultivation. This is where a vertical spray mast is appropriate again; it moves across the pipe rail between the crop. Sometimes a double vertical spray boom is recommended, for example if there are crops at the end of the track. With a double vertical spray mast, the crop in the corner or at the end of the track can also be reached.

When you want to buy a new spray boom, you need to think about some important aspects. The choice for a certain type of greenhouse spray boom depends on the crop you are growing. Then it is important to determine the required length of the spray boom, so that you always spread the crop protection products over the correct surface area. Moreover, the required number of nozzles is important for a uniform distribution. Finally, you can choose between the material of the spray boom: stainless steel or aluminium.
