Caffini Caffini Small 2200-18

Caffini Small 2200-18 Field Sprayer

Type: Mounted or Trailed Field Sprayer (the "Small" series includes both). Typically, the 2200-liter capacity suggests a trailed model for better stability and weight distribution.
Tank Capacity: 2200 liters (approximately 581 US gallons).
Boom Width: 18 meters (approximately 59 feet).
Boom Type:
Likely a hydraulic folding boom.
Could be the "Entry" hydraulic boom (painted steel after cataphoresis treatment, independent right/left closing) or the "Small HBS" hydraulic boom (gull-wing folding, painted after cataphoresis treatment, independent right/left closing). The HBS boom might be an option for the 18-meter width.
Sections: Typically equipped with 5 or 7 electrically controlled sections for precise application control and to minimize overlaps. Some listings mention 7 electric sections for this model.
Control System:
Base models like the "Small Entry" might have a manual constant pressure distributor with a general lever closing and an isometric manometer.
More commonly, a new 2200-18 model is likely to feature an automatic spraying computer, such as the Caffini CB9, which allows for features like travel speed proportional application.
Pump: Likely a diaphragm pump with a capacity in the range of 170 to 240 l/min (approximately 45 to 63 US gal/min), depending on the specific configuration.
Frame: Painted steel frame, often with an adjustable axle (e.g., from 140 to 180 cm, or 180 to 225 cm by reversing the wheels) to suit different row widths. Galvanized frames might be an option.
Lift: Vertical hydraulic lift, usually damped for smoother boom height adjustment.
Equalizer: Mechanical equalizer with mechanical locking for maintaining boom stability on uneven terrain. Some models might feature a patented "ELB" equalizer for better parallelism.
Premixer: Includes a premixer hopper (likely the "Smart" or "Maxi" depending on the tank size) with a canister rinsing nozzle for safe chemical handling.
Filtration: Self-cleaning pressure filter.
Nozzles: Likely trijet nozzle holders with anti-drip systems as a standard or optional feature.
Optional Features (that a new model can be equipped with):
Air sleeve system ("Air Wings") for improved spray penetration and drift reduction (more likely with the HBS boom). This is often available for 18-meter booms.
Hydraulic boom movements controlled from a single valve pair.
Automatic spraying computer with GPS integration and section control.
Rinse tank for cleaning the sprayer.
Dry level gauge for the main tank.
Electro-hydraulic distributor for boom movements.
