Sprayer Testing
Background:
Spillane Sprayer Testing was founded by Gordon Spillane to help farmers ensure their crop sprayers are certified to Department of Agriculture testing levels. Gordon is unique in the industry as his background is in mechatronic engineering. His experience includes working on precision projects designing military equipment. He has a farming background and his love of farming even led to him designing tractors in the United Kingdom for JCB. He’s no ordinary crop sprayer tester!
How we work:
Our client base includes farmers and farm machinery dealers. If you are a dealer we can test and certify your sprayer making it easier to sell as we’ve proved it’s up to the necessary regulation standards. If you are a farmer, our testing ensures that you meet the spraying guidelines and don’t overspray (or under spray) the area. This results in less waste with regard to over dosing and saves the quality of your crops by avoiding under dosing.
How we test:
If you would like us to test your sprayer, these are the 3 simple and easy steps to follow.
1. Contact Gordon on 085 800 72 28 to book a date and time to test.
2. We will send you a check list via email or post, whichever is convenient to you.
3. When the check list is all complete and correct we will visit your farm and carry out the test,.
-If the sprayer passes we will upload the details of the test on the DAFM (Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine) website. A numbered and dated DAFM sticker will then be attached to your sprayer (following payment of invoice).
