Closed Transfer System - Frontier Agriculture

Thanks to tamper-proof technology developed by Wisdom Systems, a specialist one-way valve and reduction in manual handling, Frontier’s closed transfer system (CTS) helps growers and sprayer operators manage crop protection and nutrition products in a safer, more sustainable way.

Secure. Clean. Efficient.

Benefits of the Frontier CTS:

Helps to mitigate the potential impact of the Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) for both product manufacturers and farmers
Reduces reliance on single-use plastic containers (IBCs)
Reduction in manual handling
Fast, clean and safe loading reduces the potential for point source contamination to protect the environment and operator
Industry-standard connections make it simple to use
Directly transfers and measures product from IBC to sprayer
Products are diluted and mixed directly into the tank
Increase area treated per day by 1-2 extra loads.

Why switch to a CTS?

Following a change in legislation for some plant protection products (PPPs) and other crop inputs, the industry has seen a compulsory move to closed transfer systems in many areas to help improve the stewardship around applications.

At Frontier, the system has so far been used by sprayer operators to apply Crown MH on potatoes. More recently, the CTS has been developed for us with Cearum CT and Nutrino Pro CT from IntraCrop, a project which includes the use of IBCs that can be refilled as many times as needed over a 5-year period - a first for the industry. The system can also be used with Roundup Energy - available in a 640 litre CTS IBC.

The kit is designed to be simple to use and easy to connect, reducing potential point contamination and use of plastics while protecting operators and the wider farmed environment.
