Today, many herbicides and fungicides are packaged in soluble bags. These bags easily dissolve in water - greatly reducing waste. They also offer an extra layer of protection between you and the chemical.
At Agri-Inject, we encourage the use of any product that is environmentally smart and increases user safety. After all, that's what our producers are all about.
However, there are some precautions you should take when using soluble bags with your Agri-Inject system. The primary concern is the possibility of the bag getting wrapped up in the mixer blades before it has had the chance to dissolve. That's why you should never throw the bag in the tank and turn on the mixer immediately.
For optimum performance, we recommend you follow this procedure:
 |
Fill the Agri-Inject tank one-third full of water. |
|
|
Place the chemical bags in the tank - allowing time for the bags to completely dissolve. |
|
|
Using a garden hose attached to the flusher fitting - and plugged into the calibration tube fitting - turn both ball valves on and let the tank fill from the bottom. |
|
|
Turn on the mixer and allow tank to fill to the desired level. |
|
|
Turn off the valves, remove the flusher, install the calibration tube - and the unit is ready to calibrate. |
Another option is to dissolve the chemical and the bag in a 5-gallon bucket of water and then pour the contents into your Agri-Inject tank.
By following these simple, common sense guidelines, you can enjoy the benefits of soluble packaging - and continue to get the most out of your Agri-Inject system. And remember, always follow the instructions in your operator's manual.
