New Ulys boom
Best described as being constructed from steel in a perforated, rectangular box section, Berthoud’s Ulys boom is now available on the Elyte mounted sprayer in widths of 18, 20, 21 and 24m.
The boom is said to be easier to stow because of the smaller dimensions of the box section, and it folds away vertically at the rear of the sprayer, giving much easier access to the sprayer hatch and the tractor cab.
The boom offers exceptional working stability thanks to the Axiale suspension system that is used to mount it to the sprayer, while it also features unprecedented flexibility in work as the boom sections can be folded-in independently, one side at a time, and the boom levelled, to allow for different working widths/configurations.
Another feature of the Ulys boom is that the spray nozzles are housed with the steel box section, providing exceptional protection from damage or fowling by crops or obstructions, while a unique cam system in the joints between the boom sections allows adjustment to be made to keep the boom true after normal working wear.

            The new Kondor boom on Berthoud’s
            Tenor sprayer folds three times to
            shorten the length of the stowed boom
            and reduce the total height of the machine.

Kondor boom
Another new boom innovation at Berthoud is the Kondor three-arm unit that is available on the Tenor 4,300- and 5,500-litre trailed sprayers and the Raptor 4,200-litre self-propelled sprayer.
This new steel boom is compact when folded, but has a very wide spread when deployed, being available in working widths of 32, 33, 36 and 38m.
Folding the boom three times means that the overall length of the sprayer is shorter, while the height is also reduced as the boom does not stick up so high.
The Kondor features Berthoud’s Pendulo-Axiale suspension combining the advantages of the Axiale suspension (excellent handling on bends and sloping ground) with those of the Pendulo suspension (optimum stability on rutted ground). The switchover from Axiale to Pendulo modes is controlled from the cab using a hydraulic lock.


Automated valve control
To satisfy the requirements of the standards for residual volumes, Berthoud has concentrated part of its research on its Dualmatic valve block and the Berlogic control panel that allows users to control most sprayer functions using just two handles.
Situated near the tank outlet and close to the pump, the Dualmatic system has allowed the company to keep residual volumes as low as possible by using shorter connecting pipes and a more compact overall design.
While the Dualmatic/Berlogic assembly has been available since 2007 on the Tenor and since 2008 on the Raptor, it is now available on both in its new Dualelec format.
This version replaces valve handles with electric motors that allow all 17 functions of the sprayer to be controlled from control panels in the cab and at the side of the sprayer.
Once a function is chosen, the valves automatically move into the correct configuration before the operation starts.
Used with Berthoud’s Nivomatic electronic gauge, the Dualelec control panel permanently displays the volume in the tank and allows a volume to be programmed for filling with an automatic switch-off function, therefore reducing the risk of overflow.
