KZValve – 3/8-Inch ZipValve Precision Ball Valves

Screen_Shot_2018-10-15_at_104201_AM.png

Tech Specs: The 3/8-inch ZIPValve offering bridges the gap between the ¼-inch ZIPValve and the ½-inch TX2 valves designed and manufactured by KZValve. This new product will flow 11.2 gallons per minute at a 5 psi drop. The new valve provides enough flow for fence and end-row applications on sprayers, as well as on other applications where a bulky ½- or 1-inch valve is traditionally used. A variety of fittings, including ¾- and 1-inch hose barbs — straight and 90-degree options — and ½- and ¾-inch Female NPT, are also available.

Compatibility Index: ISOBUS Certified, Available Factory-Installed, Available as Aftermarket Product

This new compact model provides much less amp draw to the overall sprayer electrical system, provides much less weight on the sprayer booms, a more precise and quick shutoff than a standard 1-inch valve used today and can be used as a more reliable replacement to a solenoid valve.

Tech Specs: CDS John-Blue’s new Poly-Centrifugal pump line is built on the proven durability and reliability of its Cast-Iron Centrifugal Pumps. The new poly-centrifugal pump incorporates proven “wet-seal” design, meaning it can run dry without causing seal failure. The system can pump 112 gallons per minute at 25 psi, with 45 psi maximum pressure, and comes in 8 models. Precision features include closed impeller technology, meaning pump efficiency improves over time as the impeller wears and pump can be removed or engine can be replaced without having to disassemble the pump.
