The RiteHeight Sprayer Boom Height Controller keeps the sprayer booms automatically at a consistent height, eliminating the need for manual height adjustments in hilly terrain, and minimizing the risk of boom contact with the ground.

Conveyor height control on root crop and vegetable harvesters as well as on storage equipment, is still mostly a manual job for the operator. Operators must constantly watch the drop height and manually adjust the conveyor height to minimize the drop and so minimize bruise damage. This is fatiguing and stressful and sometimes hard to learn for an inexperienced operator. The RiteDrop system virtually automates conveyor and drop height control. Not only can the operator relax a little and pay more attention to other aspects of running the harvesting or storage equipment, he may also deliver a higher percentage of bruise free and marketable product and so add to the bottom line.

The RiteTilt controller is designed for use on a wide variety of equipment that must be maintained in a level position (zero tilt angle) in order to perform well. Typical applications include root crop and vegetable harvesters, and trenching equipment. Without automatic tilt control, the operator must visually check a gauge or indicator and maintain the correct angle on-the-go. The RiteTilt controller attached to the machine continuously measures tilt and activates electrical output signals when the tilt angle requires adjustment. The electrical signals control solenoid valves and cylinders or electric actuators to automatically keep the machine level.

The RiteSpeed system consists of several sensors and a small controller. It continuously compares the speed of the input drive shaft to the speeds of idler shafts and rollers. When the ratio falls outside a preselected range, the system sounds an alarm and shows the operator which conveyor or belt is slipping too much. The operator can reduce ground speed or stop the machine before it is plugged and before damage occurs.

The Rate Monitor RM100 provides On-the-go application rate plus rolling average and totals for up to 99 fields and test plots Reduces problems as a result of applying too much (wasteful, expensive, environmental issues) and too little (may reduce yield.) Helps avoid off-target application rates due to load-to-load inconsistency in product density, quality, humidity, and other factors that affect application rates.

“If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.” Everyone wants to manage well, especially high value vegetable and root crops. RiteYield provides the data you need to optimize your returns. RiteYield technology from Greentronics now makes it possible to install an affordable weighing system in nearly any harvester with a conveyor belt. To calculate yield data, the weight of the crop is measured as it passes over sensors in the conveyor. Yield data is combined with GPS data to create a complete yield map. The RiteYield system is designed with the installer and end-user in mind. It includes just a few components so installation and set-up can be completed in a short time. With a few calibration steps and a connection to Trimble or AgLeager GPS and data logging equipment, the system is ready to collect yield data.

A RiteWeight conveyor scale is a very convenient and inexpensive tool to obtain weight data for any agricultural product such as root crops, vegetables, grain, and even for aggregates (sand & gravel). The components install easily in conveyors with rubber belts or webs (belted chains). The RiteWeight system includes durable components easily installed in most common conveyors. Since just a few parts need to be added to the conveyor, modifications are not difficult or time consuming. With the RiteWeight system anyone can own a scale for little up front cost and accurately determine the weight of products as these are getting loaded onto trucks, or into storage.

Greentronics is well-known for its yield monitor and conveyor scale products specifically designed for the root crop and vegetable industries. Growers use yield maps to study and manage variability in their fields and generate report cards on their progress. In recent years, with concerns about food safety, various regulations related to crop traceability have been put in place. Much of the required record keeping is time consuming and does not add real value to the business. By automating the record keeping jobs and precisely logging data for harvest dates, times and locations and where each load is located in storages, the RiteTrace system offers a clear and straightforward method for linking stored produce back to locations in the fields. This fulfills many traceability requirements.
