SharpShooter® for Turf

SharpShooter is marketed by Capstan Turf Systems as the Next Generation in Turf Spray Technology,   SharpShooter is at heart an automatic, instantaneous "tip changer".

The most significant feature is the ability for SharpShooter, working with a rate controller, to hold an operator selected pressure constant throughout the sprayer entire speed range capability while maitaining a specific gallon/1000 sq.ft. rate .  Even more amazing is the ability to do this without changing tips!

It advances spray technology with today's golf course fairway and sport turf sprayers.  SharpShooter creates dramatic performance gains, operation efficiencies, improved quality and significant reduction of input costs of both chemical and labor.

Capstan WILGER Products

Capstan WILGER Combo Rate nozzle bodies are stacked in pairs at each location on the turf boom.  The drip check is replaced by the Capstan PWM solenoid valve at  each body.  These nozzle bodies allow 3 times the flow compare to other brands and are a part of the reason why the 0.4 to 4.0 gal/1000 sq ft rate range can be achieved without changing tips.

The Capstan WILGER SR and MR tips provide the opportunity to be more precise in a droplet spectrum range selection.  The ER is a single orifice tip where as the SR and MR are pre-orifice tips designed to give various degrees of drift control.  The tips, seals, pre-orifice and filters are all embedded into the tip body for easy installation and removal.
