GX6 Microtubing

The AgXcel GX6 Microtubing is designed to replace disk orifices to apply several types of fertilizers such as biological, carbons, humic acids, starters, nitrogens, & molasses like products. But the GX6 Microtubing is capable of being used with all infurrow fertilizers such as 10-34-0 and also all Nitrogen applications. 

AgXcel’s Microtubing has an inside diameter that is at least twice as large as its equivalent disk orifice size and can be up to four times as large, therefore allowing for improved management of liquid flow & pressure regulation, especially with high viscosity fertilizers. And since the inside diameter is so much larger than a disk orifice, this also means that you are able to use a larger filter screen as well. Since the particles in your fertilizer can no longer plug a disk orifice, that means you don’t need as fine of a filter to catch those particles. AgXcel commonly provides 20 mesh filters with pump system orders that include the GX6 Microtubing

AgXcel carries 13 different sizes of this specialized tubing that is custom for the precision measurement of liquid flow and placement. In addition to the specialized inside diameter of the Microtube, in-depth lab and field testing has shown that tube lengths affect the overall flow measurement and system pressure. AgXcel cuts all tubing to the needed length for your requirements, so all you have to do is install the tubing.

The GX6 Microtubing manifold incorporates dual check valves & dual microtubes for each row to add greater ability to manage liquid flow & pressure ranges. The dual check valves incorporate two valve bodies per row with an embedded 4lb or 10lb check valve that allows for the regulating of flow through either only the smaller size microtube, the larger size microtube, or both microtubes to allow an even larger flow output. When managing any system that utilizes high viscosity fertilizers, the management of proper system pressure is critical for a precise application. If too much pressure is created, then flow restriction occurs, which reduces liquid flow and enables inaccurate product measurement. And if too little pressure is present, then you won’t have a steady stream or a consistent flow rate at each row either.

AgXcel’s Microtubing can also be used with all product applicators, including:

• stainless steel tubes
• rebounders
• seed firmers,
• custom applicators

AgXcel has a variety of connectors to make the conversion of Microtubing to an applicator.

As with all AgXcel precision fertilizer application systems, integration into existing OEM controllers like Raven, John Deere, Case IH, AgLeader, Trimble, and Micro-Trak is seamless and allows for the management of the GX6 system from your pre-existing controller.

Don’t have a controller in your cab? AgXcel’s AutoX Compact controller was designed to manage the GX6 Dual Microtubing effectively. Packed with all the important options for managing either infurrow fertilizer placement or 2×2, this controller has it all. The AutoX Compact is a 3-section boom control with built-in boom switches on the console, automatic rate controller management utilizing a PWM driver. Its all-in-one design makes it a convenient, simple, user friendly package at a very economical price.

In summary…

• Microtubing has an inside diameter that is 2x – 4x larger than the comparable disk orifice that you would use for your application.
• You can integrate microtubing into your existing fertilizer setup. No need to start from scratch.
• Have the ability to use a more coarse filter to allow particles to pass through and not plug a finer filter or disk orifices.
• Utilize AgXcel’s Dual Check Valve & Dual Microtube Assembly to increase your flow and pressure control per row, without having to take any fittings apart to switch between Microtube sizes.
