Proportional Injection

Reliable and low-cost, Dosatron injectors are simple to operate and rely only on your water system’s pressure to provide accurate injection of your pre-mixed fertilizer solutions.

Proportional Injection

Many growers want to be able to fertilize just a bench or an area or perhaps use a fungicide on only one crop. This can be difficult if your injection system uses a common mainline to supply all areas. Some growers have mounted proportional injectors on hand-carts with a pail for supply or used a wagon but if you ever pulled on a hose and watched your cart tip over and your injector crack as it hits the ground, you would know why we developed a Dosatron Cart that will last a lifetime.

Dosatron carts are for fertigation on the go. From single units to comprehensive systems, Dosatron has been the proportional injector of choice for Zwart systems for over 25 years. Discover the difference Dosatron can make in your greenhouse, garden center, or nursery.

From the Ground Up

At Zwart Systems, we offer complete design, manufacturing, installation, and service of all our products. We can help create a system that’s right for you.

Proportional Injection Overview

Systems

Zwart Systems Scrolling Dosatron integrates a small PLC and flow meter to allow the Dosatron to activate or deactivate as water volume flow rates change over the irrigation day. As an example, this system can be designed using four (4) 40gpm Dosatrons plumbed in parallel and scrolled to open, adjusting to flowrate evenly from a minimal rate of 10 gpm up to a max flow rate of 160 gpm. This system evens out fertilizer delivery throughout the irrigation period.

Pre-plumbed units incorporate Dosatrons plumbed in series for A/B applications.

Dosatron cart systems are designed to make proportional fertilizing and fungicide applications portable. Made with a stainless-steel frame and your choice of pneumatic or solid tires and with a low center of gravity, these carts are rugged and reliable. We offer your choice of 14GPM, 20GPM or 40GPM injectors, with either a single 20Gal tank or 2 x 12Gal tanks for solutions. Each cart comes with a filter to protect your Dosatron, hose connections that are either threaded or quick-coupling and a 10’ supply hose. A watering wand storage tube is also added for your convenience.

Options on proportional injection systems include an all-in-one combined system designed to include freshwater pumps on one frame; EC/pH monitoring via a BlueLabs monitoring kit can be added for a quick view of water/fertilizer mix, or a sensor loop can be added that is compatible with your environmental control computer to log and alarm through your farm’s environmental control computer.

Water Storage & Irrigation Systems | UnderSun Acres II

After a very successful project in 2017, Under Sun Acres has now completed phase two of a new 25-acre state-of-the-art glass pepper greenhouse range. This project was made in conjunction with a new natural gas co-gen station to supply power to the grid while using the heat and CO2 produced in the greenhouses.

Multi-level benching has allowed us to do more with less while focusing on what matters most: plant health. The team at Zwart didn’t simply supply us equipment and walk away, but helped us understand how to be successful with vertical growing.
