Do you handle the spraying on your farm? Is cleaning out the sprayer when changing products burdensome? Has dicamba soybean herbicides intensified the need for complete cleanout? Do you want to simplify your life?

If you answered all four questions with “yes,” then Matt Wagner has a simple solution. Wagner is national accounts manager for TerreMax, an Indiana company that produces all types of products for liquid handling. TerreMax is located in Fontanet.

TerreMax received a patent for Safety Camlocks, cam couplers for liquid systems with an exclusive cam-lever locking mechanism.

“The cam-locking lever makes them easy to use,” Wagner explains. “You simply snap the levers over the end of the pipe or boom or whatever you’re attaching the cam to. It locks in place. When you’re ready to remove it, you push the safety lock buttons to undo the connection.”

Wagner sees the product being a fit for someone who wants to make it easier to access the ends of booms on sprayers. Unless end booms have a cleanout, liquid material accumulates in blind ends. Residues can build up wherever there is an end cap.

TerreMax is ISO 9001-certified, Wagner notes. The safety camlock and camlock couplers are manufactured at the Indiana facility. Learn more at terremax.us, and check out the photos below.

BEFORE: Here are the two pieces to be connected before the connection occurs. Imagine that the piece on the right is attached to the end of a spray boom.

AFTER: Simple locks snap over the piece connecting to the cap and hold the cap firmly in place.
