Knight to showcase sprayer tech developments
28th May 2025
Among the innovations on the stand will be the Contour Master boom levelling system and new Smart-Inject development.
The new Knight Contour Master boom levelling system, developed in-house to suit all Knight boom ranges and widths, will be among the highlights of the Knight stand at Cereals 2025, alongside the new Smart-Inject nozzle technology and examples from the Knight mounted, trailed and self-propelled sprayer ranges.
Designed to ensure greater levels of nozzle to crop/ground distance accuracy, for enhanced product efficacy, improved work rates and reduced risk of crop and boom damage, Contour Master boom levelling can be specified across the range of mounted, trailed and self-propelled Knight sprayers.
The system uses independent distance sensors – four on the standard version and six on the 6G variant for even faster response on wider 4 Series and Tri-Fold Knight booms.
The sensors feed information instantly to a power processor controller which governs modulating valves that provide seamless, accurate corrections of boom height and the centre boom section angle.
In addition, the valves control the positive/negative inclination of the left and right inner boom, and of the left and right outer booms.
Knight will also show the new Smart-Inject development, which won the Innovation Award earlier this year at LAMMA 2025.
Smart-Inject allows both full field and spot spraying to be performed simultaneously with the same machine.
The product for spot spraying, transferred from a separate tank via a secondary line, is only mixed with the main tank solution directly at the nozzle, using pulse width modulation. Variable pulse frequency allows fine-tuning of the application.
Other stand areas will highlight the benefits of proven Knight technology, including MAXImizer PRO circulation, Tank Control PRO automated fill functions, and KINS (Knight Individual Nozzle Switching), which provides air operated individual nozzle control.
Helping minimise product wastage on headlands and short work, KINS uses Knight’s air-switching on/off valves, and can be specified on 250mm or 500mm nozzle spacing.
Cereals stand number: 840
