Electronic Liquid Blockage Monitor System
Tech Specs: The system allows growers to know their liquid and anhydrous (NH3) flow from the cab of their tractor. CDS-John Blue’s patented LMBS is available in 3 control options for both NH3 and liquid application — standard wired control panel, iPad or Android wireless platforms. The system shows both low-flow and no-flow problems and the wireless system shows high flow to allow operators to correct problems immediately or pause to capture the row for investigation later. The system also uses magnetic sensing technology mounted behind the liquid application and NH3 VisaGage II Flow Monitors.
