One Ton Wobbler System

This 2,000 pound do-it-yourself "wobbler" is capable of delivering up to 600 pounds of powdered Gypsum or Potassium in one hour.

This unit can be used with an electrical pump (as shown in the photo). Injections can be made using a Mazzie injector where electricity is not available.

Note: The pump for the required surfactant "KLeen-Flo" will need a 12 volt battery or a 12 volt or 110 volt electrical hookup, depending on the configuration that is best for you.

It's practically maintenance free and very easy to operate.

 

Portable Wobbler System

This small 450 pound do-it-yourself "wobbler" is designed for small orchards or fields.

When used with a Honda electric start motor (as shown in the photo), the required surfactant "Kleen-Flo" can be injected using the power from the Honda battery.

The entire system is portable.

 

 

Speed Injectors

The Soil Technology "speed injectors" are designed to get the job done quick. Capable of delivering up to 1,200 pounds of powered Gypsum or Potassium in just one hour (depending on your flow rates).

Our machines are rented out to growers who don't want to hassle with continuous applications that are required with the "wobblers".

These machines can apply a ton of Gypsum per acre to a 20 acre grove in less than a week.

Rates range from $90 to $120 per ton.
