Water volumes and capacity

Lower fluid volume - higher capacity - same (or better) effect

The Danfoil concept is designed for effective crop protection using significantly less water per hectare. When the water volume is reduced, the number of refills decreases, giving you more spraying time in the field—and less time spent on filling, transport, and handling.

Typical water volume: 30–50 l/ha for many tasks.
Result: more hectares per tank—and significantly higher daily capacity.


Why low water volume can work

In the Danfoil system, water volume is not the only “tool” for achieving coverage. Air assistance and atomization are actively used to support deposition and penetration into the crop. This means that you can often work with higher concentrations and lower liquid volumes—without compromising on effectiveness.

  • Less “runoff”: Very high water volumes can increase the risk of runoff, especially on dew-covered or wet plants.
  • Greater focus on application: Air/atomization can help the droplets hit their target and adhere.
  • Stable workflow: Fewer stops for refilling result in smoother logistics and more consistent application.

The capacity gain in practice

When you halve (or reduce) the water volume, the number of hectares per tank typically increases accordingly. This provides a direct capacity advantage:

  • Fewer refills per job → less downtime and less fuel for transport.
  • Higher daily output → better utilization of spraying windows and crew.
  • More flexibility → easier to schedule jobs based on weather, wind, and optimal efficiency.

This is how we approach settings

Instead of “solving everything” with water volume, we work with a comprehensive approach: water volume + driving speed + air pressure + boom height . On the subpages about “Discharge and droplet spectrum,” we go into depth on how it all works together.
