Chembine: Making a Stir in Chemical Mixing
By: Al Kessler, VP of Application & Precision Equipment
Growers spend a good chunk of time and money striving for clean fields and healthy, responsive plants. To get adequate coverage, all inputs need to be mixed well, which doesn’t always happen when they are just added to the top of the sprayer tank. While it used to be a challenge to get an evenly mixed product, that’s no longer the case with the Chembine.
The Chembine by Free Form Plastics offers an innovative way to mix chemicals, saving time and streamlining the mixing process. This advanced, durable mixer has the capacity to fully mix and agitate product. The Chembine really sets itself apart from similar chemical mixers with these qualities:
» Knife Block Design: Contributes to faster and more thorough draining and rinsing while also making jug removal easier.
» Higher Agitation: 4 vertically molded ribs in the tank and vortex cycling water jet eductor system creates more motion.
» Bottom Drain Valve: Makes rinsing and draining easier.
» Increased Stability: Durable stand and large feet with mounting holes keep the Chembine secure.
» Clear Sidewalls: Increased visibility.
» Capacity: 75 gallons in the single unit, 150 gallons on the dual unit.
Although the Chembine is relatively new to the Stutsman line, we have been very happy with customer results. See what the stir is all about (pun intended).
“The Chembine has the ability to premix all the hand adds and slurry dry products. With the expansion pack, adding 3 mini bulks takes only a third of the time to fill compared to our old system. It saves us enough time to spray an additional 60-100 acres per day. The system cleans out well for switching between crops. Having the blade in the eductor speeds up hand adds and allows completely re-used containers to be disposed.” – Mark Dobson
“I have been doing my own spraying for almost 30 years. During this time, all chemicals/additives were loaded into the top of the sprayer tank. Last year I decided it was time for a chemical inductor. Now that I have used the Chembine for a season, I can truthfully say that was money well spent! With the Chembine, you can easily load chemicals from bulk containers, individual jugs, and even bags of dry AMS. I am very happy with my purchase from Stutsmans and their sales rep Derek Shalla.” – Dave Erwin
