Features the patented flow divider commonly called the Pot
Distribution of liquid fertilizer with uniformity that meets or
exceeds all pressure systems
Rate changes are quick and easy with only one nozzle per
pot to be changed – NOT an orifice for every run!
Handles both clear and suspension fertilizers with no risk of
plugging
Quick and easy to mount to virtually any implement
Bandit Liquid Distribution Kits
Two of the major improvements Polywest has added to the original
Green Drop pots are drip-free pots and low-profile pots.
Our drip-free pots are vented through a tube which, when inverted
for transport, prevents dripping residual fertilizer onto your
equipment. The low-profile pots make mounting a Bandit Liquid Kit
on today’s larger equipment even easier, especially on 5 section
tool bars. The low profile pot reduces standpipe height by 50% with
NO change to the in-field functioning of the system. You can order
you new system with either the original pot or the newer low-profile
version.
As a result of extensive research and testing on the Bandit Liquid
Kits in past years, we are equipping kits with a larger 1-1/2” manifold
system to feed the Bandit Flow Dividers (pots). The new manifold
consists of 1-1/2” hose with teed outlets to feed each pot, replacing
the 3/4” manifold and hose which was originally supplied in the kits.
ALWAYS INNOVATING
WHY GO UNPRESSURIZED?
• Reduced stress on your ground-drive pump
• Reduced stress and wear on the ground-drive system for the
pump (particularly the sprockets)
• More accurate measurement of the pressure being delivered
to the Flow Divider, so that your rate calculations and pump
settings will become more meaningful.
In short, this new system means longer life for your pump, longer
service from your caddy’s pump-drive system and more accurate
delivery of liquid to the soil.
IMPORTANT SUGGESTION
We also recommend that you consider converting your existing
systems to the 1-1/2” Hi-Flo manifold system to give you the
benefits it can provide to your pumps, sprockets and rate
accuracy.
This would involve replacing the existing manifold system with the
MasterKits listed on the next page and replacing the line from the
pump on your Band Wagon® back to the kit with 1-1/2” fittings
and hose. Also always check the flow rate from each individual
pot run to ensure accurate distribution.
