FlexConnect®

No. Products need to be manufactured and packaged specifically with FlexConnect. Only Preside CL®, Preside Ultra and Primo Ultra will be enabled for FlexConnect.

• Preside CL is packaged in 200 & 400-unit sizes.
• Preside Ultra and Primo Ultra are packaged in 1,000-unit sizes.
• Multiple packages can be used together to double units treated between reloading FlexConnect.

Although applying through FlexConnect insures the highest quality application with no degradation, FleXconnect can be utilized in conjunction with a mix tank. However, using the mix tank reduces the application window from 14 days to the same day as when the product was mixed.

FlexConnect’s patented system of integrated valves delivers the proper ratio of components from each bladder and allows mixing in-line prior to application on the seed.

Just like when using a mixing tank, the amount of product used will be tracked with the monitoring of seed treated.

Each case includes an application kit that connects the bladders through a mixing port directly to the input line prior to inoculant pump.

Disconnect the application kit and submerge the caps in water. Turn on the pump and water will be drawn through the lines to rinse them out. Replace the application kit prior to attaching to a new set of bladders.

Yes. However, product should be withdrawn from one set at a time to minimize the chance for one set to empty first, thus introducing air to the system and affecting accuracy. Connecting multiple cases together can provide 800 to 2,000 units of inoculant for application before reloading FlexConnect.

By pumping directly from the original packaging into a calibration tube or container just like from a mixing tank. Once withdrawn from the packaging during the calibration process, the inoculant must be applied to seed right away.

A separate pump for inoculants must be used for FlexConnect. If the treatment process involves mixing all products together in one tank, a separate pumping system will be required. Visit the FlexConnect product page to see links to equipment suppliers.

Verdesian can consult on the proper setup to meet your needs. The equipment is readily available and can be installed in under an hour.

Yes. Contact your equipment supplier, who can provide a stand or bracket that will adapt to your scales.

This is a decision that you must make. It is perfectly acceptable to use FlexConnect exclusively for direct injection from the original packaging. However, there may be days of heavy inoculant use where using the mix tank is the most efficient method.

Preside CL comes in 200- and 400-unit packaging. The new Preside Ultra and Primo Ultra products come in 1,000 units/case allowing for a “Bulk-Like” efficiency in handling and application.

Testing has shown that quality is maintained for 14 days after the first withdrawal.

A switch to FlexConnect can REDUCE the number of bladders opened significnatly. Smaller 40- or 50-unit sizes of products including the 2 or 3 components can be replaced using FlexConnect while maintaining quality when using a single large package size up to 14 days after first use. One case of FlexConnect product can treat as much as 1,000 units of soybeans.

Operational efficiencies are improved by increasing the flexibility of application volumes, improving inventory management and reducing the management of multiple package sizes.
