Focus topic: Contactless handling of liquid crop protection products with the Lechler Coupler
With its new Lechler Coupler (LeC), Lechler offers a closed transfer system (CTS) for the safe handling of liquid crop protection products. Precise, contactless dosing and transferring of liquid crop protection products is therefore no problem – without compromising on efficiency.
The Lechler Coupler (LeC) is compatible with the easyconnect cap. The easyconnect system is a closed transfer system (CTS) for liquid crop protection products. With the LeC, all individual steps in the process from locking to removal of the cleaned canister run fully automatically. The operator can choose between the fully automatic removal of a pre-selected quantity (also several canisters) and the manual removal of the complete canister contents. The weighing system works independently of the viscosity of the crop protection agent. The non-contact filling of the crop protection device thus ensures the best possible protection for the user.
