aNH3 Equaply® Liquimatic™ System

The Liquimatic™ from aNH3.Company, has a unique focus on the ammonia application process, particularly how individual components interact. We coordinate closely with John Deere®, AgLeader®, and Trimble® to work under their control systems. Because we have worked with farmers, we have learned special problems in various areas of the country. We have defined a new paradigm for larger ammonia flows. Our goal is to provide equal distribution of anhydrous ammonia to all injectors.

Why Equaply® Liquimatic™

Our aNH3 Equaply® system keeps anhydrous ammonia as a liquid until it has been split among injectors. A Hypro® centrifugal pump boosts pressure so that ammonia is well below its boiling point. After a flow sensor and control valve, anhydrous goes to one or more manifolds, each with an electrically operated valve for positive shutoff at the ends of rows. The manifold directs flow through differences between the injectors. The main reason for row-to-row equality is to increase yields and reduce the per acre cost of ammonia. Often times an over-application of ammonia is used to achieve the highest possible yield. In today's economy, this doesn't make good business sense. Conventional heat exchanger based systems do a great job applying ammonia across the field but have no capability of keeping all rows equal. Reduction of nitrogen run-off is another plus for equal distribution. By avoiding excess ammonia, equality helps to minimize the environmental impact of fertilizer usage.

Equaply® Pump units are the ONLY systems for very cold anhydrous NH3 at rates over 50 GPM.
Equaply® Pump units are the ONLY systems for equal rows using GPS based swath control.
Equaply® Pump units are the ONLY systems to provide confirmation of row equality.
Equaply® Pump units are the ONLY systems with Liquimatic™ towers replacing heat exchangers.

What we do Differently

Our newest and most important difference is our Liquimatic™ vapor separator which replaces the usual heat exchangers. This device, covered by U.S. Patent No.7,096,802, removes the vapor formed from the nurse tank to the toolbar and provides a small head pressure to the inlet of a pump or flowmeter. This keeps the anhydrous below its boiling point. We retain the ammonia in a completely liquid state until we have divided it among the injectors.

Our aNH3 Equaply® system can operate with anhydrous control consoles such as Hiniker® and Raven®. But the Equaply® system shines with the new GPS based control consoles of Trimble®, AgLeader®, and John Deere®. We boost pressure with a Hypro® centrifugal pump specifically modified for use with anhydrous ammonia. We maintain manifold pressure with a liquid orifice in the tee before each injector. From each tee a line goes to an array of pressure guages which indicates the relative flows to injectors. These guages detect plugged injectors or orifices. To prevent a cloud of ammonia when the toolbar is raised, we can optionally turn off flow to each injector with an electrically operated valve. These valves also keep the system in balance and fully charged for the start of the next application pass.

Guage Tree Option

Have You Seen This Before?

A plugged anhydrous knife can cause you to have that not-so-fashionable yellow streak across your corn field. That streak also takes the green out of your pocket.

With the increasing cost of ammonia, it is essential to know that your fertilizer is being placed correctly into the soil. A gauge tree helps to ensure that the fertilizer application is accurate by monitoring the flow pressure to each knife.

Don’t lose sleep worrying about if a knife was plugged. You’ll know that fertilizer was applied correctly through each knife with a gauge tree.
