Customer story
Why the Krol family chooses HARDI TWIN for potato farming, year after year
Meet Dennis Krol from Krol Aardappelen VOF in the Netherlands. The Krol family have been long loyal customers of HARDI for many years, and the self-propelled HARDI ALPHA TITANIUM line is their fourth HARDI ALPHA sprayer.
Dennis points out that the weather has been getting more extreme in recent years, making it tougher to grow potatoes. That’s why, on a farm as large as Krol’s, it is crucial to ensure that when the weather conditions are good, you can do as much work as possible.
“We are very satisfied with our HARDI sprayers due to the TWIN FORCE air support. You can achieve the desired result with less water, and you are less dependent on weather conditions. If there is a bit of wind, you can still spray effectively with air support and penetrate the crop well.” Says Dennis Krol.

More options for spray control
TWIN FORCE gives the operator more options for spray control than other air-assisted sprayers. By adjusting the air curtain’s speed and angle, from no air to full air, in effect producing two sprayers in one (hence the name – TWIN), the operator can guide all droplets, irrespective of size, to the target.
Two powerful blower units provide air to the left and right boom sides. Each blower can be adjusted without steps to a maximum output of 2,000 m³/h per metre of boom and a maximum air speed of 35 m/sec.

Weather decides most of everything what a farmer does, and spraying is no exception. The windy weather can cause delays or cancel the spray job due to risk of high drift. But the Air-assisted HARDI TWIN, gives you more spraying days with guaranteed spray precision and drift control.
The Danish Environmental Protection Agency, Miljøstyrelsen has approved the HARDI TWIN system and NANODRIFT nozzles as a 90% drift-reducing solution. This combination helps farmers minimise drift, get better crop deposition and minimise the environmental impacts.

Proven and tested
HARDI TWIN system has been proven and tested by many field trials and studies. A study done in Denmark with weather report showed that the HARDI TWIN gave 45 more spraying days a year than a normal conventional sprayer.
Similarly, an independent scientific study from the Research Centre Flakkebjerg/Aarhus University, Denmark, demonstrated that the spray application quality of a HARDI TWIN sprayer with a 24 m boom was unaffected by high wind at driving speeds of 8 to 12 km/h.
