Triple super ammonization of Ammonium Poly Phosphate and nitrogen stabilization with Ammonium Thio-Sulfate and Zinc. In irrigated corn production, 170-60-0-40S-1Zn Exactrix applying 271 total pounds of TAPPS Nutrient in an Ortho Ratio reacts in the soil allowing the equivalent of 489 pounds of nutrient applied with pressure reducing NH3 and dry phosphate and sulfur.

The producer with the old fashioned dry/NH3 application systems would need to apply 181% more nutrient in a separate and different process to be equivalent and as crop effective as Exactrix TAPPS. Furthermore the yields would never be as high since the irregular application of the old fashioned systems are plant toxic at higher rates.

Exactrix TAPPS Formulators, 2KP and 2KM are matched with 2KC and 2KD Weigh Master Liquid NH3 systems.

The 2KP is rated with two pump sizes at 15 gpm and 22 gpm using 10-D or 16-D flow meters for maximum turndown performance. Primary filters to match.

The 2KP is also rated with two hydraulic motor selections at 5 gpm or 6.5 gpm.

The 2KM is rated with 4 pump sizes at 22, 28, 38 and 60 gpm. All four 2KM systems use the large 5 gallon back flush filter housing with 40 or 100 mesh filter elements to handle large flows. Hydraulic motor flows available are 6.5,8 and 11 gpm. Three volumetric flow meters, 10-D, 16-D, 20-D are utilized for the various flow ranges. The Mass flow meter system will also compute the specific gravity of the APP/ATS blend to assure high quality and correct billing.
