Having a portable system can eliminate the need for a permanent mixing site. When designing the system, you must take into account the same things as you would for a permanent mixing site. This includes how you will contain and manage spills, provide access to PPE, first aid, clean water, SDSs and record-keeping requirements.
Once they are fully operational, portable mixing and transfer systems can reduce time spent out of the paddock. This will increase productivity and the effective life of the sprayer, and will help to retain its value for longer.
An investment in the mixing, filling and transfer system can provide a greater return on investment than buying a larger sprayer.
