DEVIOKIT
The DEVIOKIT is designed to rinse the nozzles and pump, even with
product still inside, without diluting it, meaning there is no need to wait
for the tank to be empty to wash it out. This is useful when treatment
needs to be paused and resumed at a later time, saving the user time.

 Blowers:
AVANT, POST, JET and TEUTON
GASPARDO offers an extensive range of fan units to meet the treatment needs of vineyards, orchards and tall
trees.
The objective of our ongoing development is not just to improve distribution uniformity, but also achieve more
environmentally sustainable treatments by limiting drift and wasting as little product as possible.

AVANT
Unit with front intake in which the flow is directed to the rear so that the plant care mixture is not sucked back
in, thus limiting the intake of leaves and debris and keeping the mist stream away from the operator. The
straightening fins and dual-flow deflector offer improved delivery and the resulting unit takes up no more space
than its traditional counterpart.

POST
POST is the rear-intake fan unit. A hot-dip galvanized steel housing, nylon
vanes and rear-intake inlet cone and diameters in the 600 to 900 mm
range. It incorporates straightening fins to reduce vortices and entrain the
product along a straight path to the trellises. Also comes in stainless steel.

JET
Rear-intake unit with a sound-absorbing polyethylene housing. Its distin-
guishing features are light weight and low noise, resistance to aggressive
chemicals and greater efficiency in wider rows (> 3 metres).

8
 For any job
TGZ VINEYARD AND ORCHARD TOWER
AVANT front-intake fan unit combined with a gal-
vanized housing to which adjustable deflectors
are attached with 16 low-volume non-drip jets.
Internal straightening vanes make for a more even
stream, while the tower gets the airflow closer to
the crop. The plant care mixture exits parallel to
the ground in the vineyard version, while in the
orchard version it is aimed upwards. The two ver-
sions have a similar flow rate at around 48,000
m3/h.
SIRENE
Twin-impeller unit, with one impeller supplying the right and the other the left,
with front- and rear intake to ensure an even more powerful and uniform airflow.
Nylon vanes allow for a flow rate of 80,000 m3/h. Ideal for crops on very tall
trellises, up to 8 metres high.

CANNONE
The CANNONE unit allows the treatment to be projected upwards to a
height of up to 30 m and with a horizontal spraying distance of up to 40
m. Various head configurations mean it can be adapted to suit individual
requirements with a wide selection of extensions, diffusers and volutes to
choose from. The air delivery volume can be as high as 24,500 m3/h.

TURBO TEUTON
Turbo Teuton takes the sprayer to the next level. It features a turbine capa-
ble of adjusting power based on the number of spray outlets, which trans-
lates into fuel savings. With less distance between the spray outlet and veg-
etation, the drift effect is reduced, while the stream can be directed easily
for better target coverage.

 Ready for action

DEVIL TGZ
DEVIL TGZ features the AVANT fan unit and has been designed for vine-
yards (TGZV) and low-growing orchards (TGZF). It offers excellent treat-
ment uniformity and reduces the problem of the mist being sucked back
in, which is common with traditional fan units.

KAMBA CANNONE
Cannon mistblower featuring a number of long-throw spray outlets, ena-
bling it to treat tall trees. It can also be used around the outer perimeter of
greenhouses to treat the interior.

TURBO TEUTON POLIPO

Mistblower featuring a centrifugal impeller with directional spraying hos-
es. This model is recommended for vineyards with tight inter-row spaces.
Less drift is assured by the fact that product is not thrown upwards.

POLIPO

 FUTURA and TURBO TEUTON:
universal solutions
for large areas
Trailed mistblowers - in the various TGZ, SIRENE and CANNONE versions, and TURBO TEUTON machines
in T POLIPO and FXF versions - are suitable for covering crops over a large area given their great distance
between fills. All models have a hot-dip galvanized steel chassis, adjustable tread width, polyethylene tank,
powerful high- and low-pressure hydraulic agitation (with perforated tube), and tow eye drawbar with the option
of type approval for road use.
They can all be fitted with the DEVIOKIT, tank rinse jet, circuit rinse system and - for the larger models - with
the PREMIX feature with container rinser fitted as standard with a 1000 to 3000-litre capacity.

FUTURA

FUTURA
FUTURA is the GASPARDO trailed mistblower in its most classic configuration: simple, strong and fitted with
all the equipment needed to be able to handle row crops of all kinds. Its main strength would have to be its
flexibility. Available with capacities ranging from 600 to 3000 litres with POST (rear-intake), AVANT (front-intake)
and JET units, it boasts an impressive tank capacity (up to 3000 litres).

FUTURA TGZ
A version of the FUTURA model,
sporting the AVANT TGZ fan unit in
the orchard or vineyard version, to
cover a large area on a single full
tank.

12
 Hectare upon hectare between fills

FUTURA SIRENE
Model with twin front- and rear-intake contra-rotating impellers, ideal for
tree crop care, for plants trained on tall trellises, up to 4 metres high.

FUTURA CANNONE
Featuring the CANNONE fan unit, FUTURA generates enough airflow to
throw the product over 30 m in the air and up to 40 m sideways. The ideal
choice for treating tall crops (poplars, tree-lined avenues) or for perimeter
use in treating greenhouse interiors. It comes with a choice of nine differ-
ent types of spray outlet.

TURBO TEUTON POLIPO

Trailed version of the TURBO TEUTON P, it shares the rear unit and is suit-
able for large surface areas. The distinguishing trait of this ducting set is
its excellent efficiency as it shifts the same mass of air as other units, just
using less power. With the spray outlets moved closer to the vegetation, it
means excellent treatment is achieved using less power. It comes with the
option of a 5th pair of spray outlets for tall trellises and double the number
of nozzle jets for narrow rows, or the kit for wider applications.

TURBO TEUTON FXF

Over-row version for two or three rows (4 or 6 faces), increases pesticide
application with shorter treatment times. The two booms are controlled
hydraulically from the tractor's cab, from where they can be folded out and
adjusted in height. They can also be ordered in an extending or variable
geometry version.

13
 Numerous configurations...

All mistblowers offer plenty of scope for tailoring the machine to individual needs, to deliver unbeatable perfor-
mance no matter what the application.

DRAWBARS
There are various drawbar options, both with and without type approval for road use. They can be fixed with
tow eye, steering with or without lock, or steering to be attached to the tractor's lift.

WHEEL HUBS
The mistblowers' wheel hubs are cantilevered on models 1000,
1600 and 2000 to reduce the machine body's ground clearance,
thus keeping the centre of gravity low or, where necessary, lift-
ing the whole machine.

WHEELS
The most appropriate type of tread can be chosen
based on the type of ground and morphological con-
ditions of the plot of land. The range of different tyre
profiles on offer ensure the machine provides excel-
lent floating performance even in wet conditions.

FAN BLANKING PANELS

If you are just wanting to treat one side, the
airflow on the TGZ unit can be shut off by
means of electrically operated panels.

LEAF GUARD
Leaf guards are available for both POST
and JET fans.
14
 Everything's under control.
ELECTROSTATIC KIT
The machine can be ordered with an electrostatic kit.
This system is based on the principle of electrostatic induction: when a charged body (electrode) is placed
near another body (air), the charges on it are redistributed. Generators are fitted to generate the charges, each
featuring two electrodes (a positive one and a negative one), with a difference in potential between them that
can vary, depending on the model, from 20 kV to 30 kV.
The negative electrode is electrically connected to the generator's metal enclosure and from here to the sur-
rounding ground via a conductor, thus enabling the negative charges to be discharged to earth. The positive
electrode is inserted by means of a high-voltage cable into the mistblower's outlet. The electrostatic charges
acquired by the air in the diffuser's outlet channel are transmitted to the plant care mixture, which will be at-
tracted by the negatively charged plants.

In terms of benefits, the electrostatic system ensures:

• less dripping as a result of the attraction between positive and negative electric charges;
• less mixture lost into the environment;
• less chemical product used and less pollution;
• treatment reaches even the most hidden parts of the plant.

JETS – NOZZLES
The 2-way (or 1-way) brass jets have three open positions,
a quick-turn shut-off and feature a non-drip valve.
The colour-coded ISO nozzles come in various sizes for low-, medium- or
high-volume treatments. With their ceramic construction, they offer excel-
lent abrasion resistance and are designed for hollow-cone spraying with
an angle of 60° or 80° depending on the model; a size in an anti-drift ver-
sion is standard issue.

SOLUBILIZER
In addition to the PREMIX, there
is also the option of a plastic sol-
ubilizer for trailed machines (A) or
stainless steel version (optional ex-
tra) (B) to make dissolving powder
or solid products easier.
