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.

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.
