Jacto bets on the fruit sector in the USA

(Sponsored) Founded in 1948 by Shunji Nishimura, a Japanese immigrant, Jacto, the Brazilian multinational leader of agricultural machines, solutions, and services is celebrating 75 years in the agricultural spraying market. Developing new technologies and creating innovative designs have become the company’s trademark, which exports its products to more than 100 countries.

Recently, the company has selected the United States as one of the priority markets in its international expansion strategy, focusing mainly on the fruit and vegetable sectors.

“Few countries worldwide have a fruit market that is as strong and diversified as the United States. Jacto offers a large variety of versatile sprayers that can suit all types of crops. Jacto air blast sprayers provide less drift and efficient coverage, which reduces farmers’ costs with inputs,” explained Walter Mosquini, Jacto International Market Manager.

Among fruit growers, the most sought-after Jacto sprayer is the Arbus 1500 Diamond. Ideal for apple, pear, peach, plum, nectarine, grape, orange, tangerine, lemon and ornamental tree crops.

With a 400-gallon tank, the Arbus 1500 Diamond produces a high volume of air, delivering a uniform spray pattern with excellent coverage and penetration in the different parts of the plants.

The Arbus 1500 Diamond comes standard with a two-speed gearbox allowing the operator to select a fan speed of 1835 or 2000 r.p.m., to accurately match the foliage density.

Another model with increasing demand in the fruit market is the 530-gallon Arbus 2000, a sprayer with a 530-gallon tank and a 33-inch fan. Ideal for dense foliage.

Jacto also offers a 3-point hitch model Arbus 400 with a 105 gallon tank. The Arbus 400 is easily operated sprayer with low maintenance cost. It uses a 28-inch diameter fan and provides ideal coverage for grapes, blueberries, raspberries, fruit trees and seedlings up to 18 feet tall.

The uniform air distribution and dual nozzle holders make the Arbus 400 a versatile sprayer that is suitable for most fruit crops requiring higher coverage efficiency.
