Thanks to tamper-proof technology developed by Wisdom Systems, a specialist one-way valve and reduction in manual handling, Frontier’s closed transfer system (CTS) helps growers and sprayer operators manage crop protection and nutrition products in a safer, more sustainable way.  

 

 

 

 

 

Secure. Clean. Efficient.

Benefits of the Frontier CTS:

  • Helps to mitigate the potential impact of the Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) for both product manufacturers and farmers

  • Reduces reliance on single-use plastic containers (IBCs)

  • Reduction in manual handling

  • Fast, clean and safe loading reduces the potential for point source contamination to protect the environment and operator

  • Industry-standard connections make it simple to use

  • Directly transfers and measures product from IBC to sprayer

  • Products are diluted and mixed directly into the tank

  • Increase area treated per day by 1-2 extra loads.

Why switch to a CTS?


Following a change in legislation for some plant protection products (PPPs) and other crop inputs, the industry has seen a compulsory move to closed transfer systems in many areas to help improve the stewardship around applications.

At Frontier, the system has so far been used by sprayer operators to apply Crown MH on potatoes. More recently, the CTS has been developed for us with Cearum CT and Nutrino Pro CT from IntraCrop, a project which includes the use of IBCs that can be refilled as many times as needed over a 5-year period - a first for the industry. The system can also be used with Roundup Energy - available in a 640 litre CTS IBC.

The kit is designed to be simple to use and easy to connect, reducing potential point contamination and use of plastics while protecting operators and the wider farmed environment. 

 

 

Support and installation

If you’d like to incorporate the CTS into your crop management programme, please speak to your local Frontier contact for help with booking and installation.

Installations include:

  • 12-month warranty
  • Additional connection parts where required
  • Calibration to match meter to products
  • Technical support from Wisdom Systems, sprayer manufacturers and/or local specialists where required.


What is included in the CTS kit?

Full assembly of the transfer system includes the couple, elbow join, flow meter, control valve and 3m hose (standard length). Other components also include a ring valve and dry break connection to support some connections where standard installation is not possible.

Users of the CTS kit can also benefit from additional guidance via the Wisdom Systems' sprayer savings calculator.
