Research and Development

Since the company's inception, Liquid Systems (SA) has been the driving force in the industry. Never content with mediocrity and ever vigilant to the needs of the consumer we have strived to develop the most advanced precision liquid injection systems in the world.

We found out in the early stages that manufacturing systems capable of precise liquid control together with desirable practical field application techniques is simply impossible if you are restricted to the use of off-the-shelf items as your source of system components. We determined from the outset to develop our own product lines and components designed specifically for liquid injection techniques.

To do this we have had to invest in our own injection moulding tooling for producing our own range of line meters, terminal jets and Stacker manifolds. We've also invested considerable effort in investigating components and materials to identify those that are suitable for liquid fertilizer application.

Feedback from our customers has been another key source of information for improving our products to handle the real world conditions of planting crops.

Our research and testing facility in Adelaide, South Australia has been further enhanced with the installation of an elevated 80 outlet, 4 section 'Stacker' metering and monitoring system and a multiple function, mobile pumping and control station. Our facility now has 7 individual pump and control system alternatives that enable us to test all forms of liquid and stream control. We frequently work with universities, research institutions and fertilizer and chemical companies to test new techniques and products.
