Your vehicles deserve the world’s best test environments
In the development of industrial solutions, theoretical and computer-based modeling and testing
play essential roles. But there’s no substitute for putting actual tires on actual terrain.

ADC
When you work with a Danfoss ADC, you will experiencea level of collaboration and application expertise that cannot
be replicated in the industry. Regardless of your challenge, wewill work with you to efficiently develop innovative solutions
that help separate you from your competition and provide realvalue for your customers.

Our three ADC proving grounds are unmatched. No one else in our industry has more comprehensive
testing capabilities. And at each location, we can simulate the most challenging work conditions.
Nearly any vehicle can be evaluated on its ability to brake from high speed on rain-soaked pavement,
traverse mud-filled pits, handle extreme grades, and much more. We can even accurately simulate
glare ice conditions during the heat of summer. The scenarios on our proving grounds are probably
more severe than actual jobsite conditions — but tough testing is necessary to ensure success in themarketplace. When you see how Danfoss-developed system solutions help your machines perform
at our test track, you’ll know those machines are ready to take on any task — and satisfy any customer.

An advanced hydrostatic drive is integrated
with an anti-lock braking system to dramaticallyreduce the sprayer’s stopping distances andimprove controllability. The drive also detects
low-traction conditions and redirects power
to wheels that have traction, helping improve
maneuverability on loose soil/gravel and in slick,steep, and muddy conditions.

Equipped with the Danfoss
Sprayer Control system, thesprayer intelligently responds
to increased drive commandby precisely adjusting theengine RPM and drive ratio
simultaneously — delivering therequested vehicle acceleration
at the maximum fuel efficiency.
The result is 15% to 30%
improvement in fuel economy
between on-highway and offhighway use.

Improved power management
The sprayer uses Danfoss hydraulic components that are engineered
to exacting standards and operate together as an optimized system.
PLUS+1 microcontrollers ensure consistent, reliable performance,
working with Series 45 pressure compensating/load-sensing pumps,
industry-leading PVG valves, and advanced orbital motors to deliver
high efficiency, low energy consumption, and precision operation.

“When I think about designing machines, I think about operators like myfather and my brother, who I’ve worked with on our family farm. I’ve grownup around these machines — I’ve taken them apart, I’ve driven them, I’ve
repaired them. One of the most rewarding things for me now is that I know
there’s an end user whose life is going to be improved by my work.”
