APACHE by Equipment technologies (USA)

Since its founding in 1997, the American company Equipment Technologies' primary mission has been to produce durable, reliable, and simple agricultural sprayers. The company fully realized its vision of the ideal sprayer by creating everything from scratch. In its work, the company was guided primarily by the feedback of hundreds of farmers.
Mechanical drive. Easy to operate. Easy to maintain. Superior performance. Efficiency. The combination of light weight and high structural strength for highly productive field work. This machine is very similar to a tractor in operation, but much more comfortable to drive. This is a sprayer that is completely cost-effective.

ENGINE AND POWER

Cummins Tier 4 Final-compliant diesel engines deliver superior environmental performance and maximum reliability. The already fuel-efficient Apache sprayers are now even more economical, reducing fuel consumption by an additional 16–21% across all models.
 

Thanks to patented Power-to-the-Ground™ technology, as much as 90% of the engine’s rated power is transferred directly to the ground. This makes Apache significantly more efficient than sprayers equipped with hydrostatic systems, which lose substantial energy and transfer no more than 70% of available power. The mechanical powertrain has fewer wear parts than hydrostatic wheel motors, making the sprayer simpler and less costly to maintain. Despite its straightforward architecture, Apache easily handles the most challenging field conditions. Thanks to the mechanical transmission with a lock-up torque converter, average fuel consumption is just 15–20 L/hr (0.5–0.6 L/ha). The torque converter effectively doubles wheel torque in tough terrain, while the heavy-duty JCB limited-slip differential provides dependable traction through tight turns and wet spots.

MECHANICAL DRIVE

When evaluating a self-propelled sprayer, growers often overemphasize the difference between 4WD and 2WD configurations. In conventional large-capacity sprayers, hydrostatic 4WD systems rely on four heavy wheel motors that consume excess power and add substantial weight. Apache sprayers utilize patented Power-to-the-Ground™ mechanical drive engineering, which channels maximum horsepower to the drive wheels while preserving machine agility, low overall weight, and the proven durability of mechanical drive.

​

Below is a direct efficiency comparison between the Apache mechanical drivetrain and competing hydrostatic systems:

APACHE mechanical drive

Apache self-propelled sprayers
  • Only 30% of the sprayer's weight is on the front wheels; 70% of the weight is on the rear wheels
  • A lock-up torque converter and limited-slip differential keep the wheels in contact with the ground, allowing them to rotate regardless of field conditions.
  • The flexible frame design ensures that all four wheels are in constant contact with the ground.
  • With a smaller footprint than torque converter sprayers, the Apache can handle extremely tough field conditions.
  • They stand out from their competitors by having a rotating front axle and an articulated mount, which are protected by patent applications.

Competitors' hydrostatic drive

  • A heavier machine compacts the soil more.
  • The significant weight of the hydrostatic transmission and four wheel motors necessitates an even weight distribution (50/50): then, when slipping, the power imbalance leads to "self-burying".
  • In hydrostatically driven sprayers, each wheel is driven by a separate, expensive hydraulic wheel motor.
  • Ultimately, hydrostatic sprayers do the same job, but are more expensive.
  • More expensive and complex maintenance
  • Worse fuel efficiency

BARBELLS

Apache sprayer booms are highly durable, flexible, and require minimal maintenance. Improved shock absorption in the boom's center frame minimizes wear. The boom's side sections automatically retract when encountering trees and other fixed obstacles and return to their original position after passing them. The use of a common manifold allows for boom upgrades.

CHEMBINE PREMIXER

The Chembine premixer is designed for the quick and convenient preparation of a working solution of one or more plant protection products (liquid, powder, or granular) and subsequent filling of the sprayer tank. It can also be used to prepare working solutions of foliar fertilizers and UAN solutions.
Two pressurized jets mix liquid products efficiently and quickly, while four vertical ribs, by disrupting the flow, further increase the degree of mixing, virtually eliminating the possibility of undissolved particles.
Easy flushing and draining via the bottom drain valve. All internal surfaces are sloped toward the drain hole. The flushing system is equipped with a rotating nozzle and 25 mm (1") diameter tubing.
The Chembine is mounted on large support legs with pre-drilled holes for easy and secure mounting to a trailer bed or cargo deck. The tank's vertical ribs not only ensure superior mixing but also provide increased stability.

HOT TANK

The Hot Tank is a 5,678-liter tank that allows you to prepare the spray mixture while the sprayer is in the field. This minimizes downtime. To ensure continuous mixing of the spray solutions, the system is equipped with four jet nozzles and two rinsing nozzles.
Drainage occurs by gravity through a conical bottom with an outlet onto a rotating pipe with a diameter of 76 mm (3”).
Typically this tank is mounted on a trailer and connected to a Chembine premixer using a set of valves, fittings and pipes.
