Turbo-Mist

In the heart of the fertile Okanagan Valley, Slimline Manufacturing has developed Turbo-Mist, deftly crafted, durable, and reliable agricultural sprayers that have been serving the farming region of the fertile Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, for over half a century. Complemented by elegant and sophisticated design, these sprayers are durable, offering precision coverage with a variety of customizable attachments tailored to crop types.

“At Slimline, we prioritize growers’ feedback and stay up to date with industry advancements to create bespoke Turbo-Mist sprayers. Our commitment to excellence results in exceptional sprayer performance and reliability,” says Daryll Lowry, President of Slimline Manufacturing.

To achieve this objective, its team stays abreast of the latest industry trends and technological advancements, ensuring the Turbo-Mist sprayers operate optimally around the clock. Slimline’s unwavering commitment to product excellence has resulted in a line of sprayers that offer exceptional performance and reliability to growers. With a wide range of crop-specific towers to meet the needs of diverse crops, such as cherries, hops, orchards, and citrus, the firm maximizes the effectiveness of its sprayers.

Turbo-Mist goes beyond providing superior sprayers, acting as a true partner for growers. By working closely with dealers, Slimline customizes its units to ensure compatibility with the latest technology for variable-rate applications. It greatly emphasizes durability and ease of maintenance, ensuring its sprayers last for years to come.

Innovation is at the core of Slimline’s mission, especially regarding the labor shortage in the Ag Tech space. Its specialized towers significantly improve coverage and sprayer efficiency, enabling growers to cover more acres per tank. In addition, they are fully compatible with autonomous tractor technology, reducing the need for labor and ultimately minimizing the need for drivers.

Slimline stays current with regulatory and environmental issues and has optimized the placement of crop protection products to maximize their effectiveness while reducing the risk of target pests developing resistance. This approach extends the lifespan of spray products. Its Low Drift Towers are specifically designed for modern high-density orchards, minimizing off-target drift compared to conventional orchard heads, making them a more eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.

Fuel efficiency is also a top priority for Slimline, and it encourages operators to adopt the “Gear up, throttle down” practice, which involves shifting to a higher tractor gear and reducing engine speed to slow the fan speed and reduce fuel consumption. The firm’s portfolio also includes calibration schools and a specialized calibration calculator to assist growers in optimizing their tower and nozzle configurations for maximum coverage, fuel efficiency, and waste reduction.

The Turbo-Mist sprayers are unparalleled in the market, equipping growers with superior efficiency and many unique features. Slimline’s compatibility with new controller technology and Turbo-Steer hitch enables smaller radius turns with the PTO engaged, while its range of interchangeable towers provides growers with the flexibility to switch between crops.

Reliability and ease of servicing are at the core of the Slimline brand. It is fully committed to routine maintenance, ensuring that many of its units remain in service for over 30 years. The firm actively supports clients in calibrating their machines and developing engineered solutions to real-world problems.

Growers across the Okanagan Valley and beyond entrust Turbo- Mist’s engineering to help optimize their crops and businesses. Slimline’s partnerships with growers go well beyond merely offering products; it seeks out innovative solutions to challenges and provides comprehensive support to growers throughout the process.
