The spreaders Tank tanks are used for the incorporation of chemical products, both fertilizers and phytosanitary products, without influencing the initial state of the product, whether liquid or solid, as long as it is soluble in water.
The operating principle of the tank spreaders is simple; from the main irrigation pipe we will divert a part of the water flow through the throttling valve. The flow that is diverted through the downstream collar will be passed through the tank fertilizer spreader, which will be filled with the product that we intend to introduce into the irrigation flow.
Thanks to the cut-off and pressure relief valves, we can fill the tank and empty it without having to stop irrigation. We can also regulate the amount of flow that we will pass through the tank. The greater the amount or speed of flow, the faster the product will be diluted and incorporated into the irrigation water torrent.
Advantages of using tank fertilizers:
- Independence of the physical state of the product to be incorporated in irrigation.
- Low pressure loss in the main irrigation flow.
- It does not need electrical energy for its operation.
- Easy equipment installation.
- Easy handling by farm employees.
Disadvantages of using tank fertilizers:
- Low control over the volume to be dosed and its distribution throughout the irrigation, since it depends on the flow that we make it pass through and the dissolution capacity of the product.
- Recommended for low volume applications due to the reduced capacity of the tanks.

Hello, can you tell me the price of the entire set of the spreader?
For the price of the set, you have to indicate in the article the capacity of the spreader, and the diameter of the main pipe.

Hello, what is the minimum working pressure of the spreader?
Thank you.
A fertilizer spreader does not need a minimum pressure for its operation.
The dilution accumulates in the tank and when entering the load and opening the tap, it is pushed into the pipe.
Depending on the type of emitter you have, you will already have to see the minimum pressure that is needed for the dosage to come out through the dropper, sprinkler, or emitter that you have.
Good evening, a week ago I bought a 60 L fertilizer spreader from your company. Could you indicate the approximate time it takes for the added product to be completely dissolved? In other words, does the inside of the fertilizer spreader no longer contain the substance with which we have fertilized?
Thank you
Good,
It cannot be estimated since they are personal factors of each installation. You must carry out a first test by stopping the system and checking the degree of dissolution of your product.
Sincerely,
The Mundoriego team.
