Guidelines for Applicators: AGITATION

Agitate PROCOTE before each use.

The entire tote must be brought up to temperature 20°C before agitation can begin.

Use agitation equipment to homogenize blend prior to use. Initial agitation of 30 minutes is recommended to evenly re-disperse nutrients in the suspension. When the tote is being used on a regular basis a quick maintenance of 5-10 minutes is recommended each morning before use.

Held-over and partial totes from previous years should also be heated and agitated using the above guidelines.

The easy way to assess the thickness of Procote is by simply raising and lowering the mix tube or blades. After initial agitation, an air wand can be used to assess the condition of the tote and determine if additional agitation is needed.

Do not agitate while pumping product – the movement of the scales can affect the metering process.
