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.

How to ensure the meter is accurately set depending on the products being used.	How to safely and securely connect the Frontier closed transfer system to your sprayer.
How to ensure safe transfer of your crop protection product from an IBC to the sprayer.	Useful tips to help with the maintenance and care of your Frontier closed transfer system.

 

 

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 is used by sprayer operators to apply Crown MH on potatoes as well as 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, and Clayton Comply - available in a 300 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.
