Over the past three seasons, Ikapa Trading in Grabouw—co-owned by Neels Thiart and supported by seasoned industry expert Mike Heath—has successfully conducted more than 50 well-organised demonstrations and sales of VICAR Radial Turbine Air Blast Sprayers.
These versatile sprayers have proven their value on a wide variety of crops in the Western Cape, including grapes, apples, pears, oranges, lemons, berries, olives, avocados, fynbos, and vegetables—all with a single machine.
As the sole importer and direct distributor of the VICAR concept, we have worked closely with the German manufacturer to select three optimal models from more than ten available options. The result is a line-up that delivers outstanding performance, exceptional coverage, and reliable crop protection.
Our latest sprayers are engineered to reduce input costs, improve spray efficiency, and increase coverage precision—even in the toughest conditions. With a VICAR sprayer, you can:
