Widest range of on-the-go rate changes of any application system available.
SurePoint's most popular system. LiquiShift™ utilizes two metering tubes and provides the technology to automatically shift between tubes to maintain optimal system pressure. Compatible with most rate control platforms. The third generation of LiquiShift™ (released 2021) utilizes "Zip" valves on each row, providing positive shut-off and eliminating check valves.
Features
Prescription Applications
Achieve your agronomic objectives without limitations. You will no longer narrow the range of your liquid prescriptions to get within the achievable range of a single orifice size. Your agronimist is in the driver's seat with 6 to 8 times the flow capacity of a traditional system. When the analysis calls for 8 GPA in low-production or high residual nutrient areas, your system will apply 8 GPA. When the analysis calls for 45 GPA in the high productive “black-soil” region of the field, you will apply 45 GPA. No longer will you be forced to over-apply in the poor-performing areas.
Field-to-Field Rate Changes
Never change another orifice. LiquiShift® utilizes metering tube to achieve uniform row-to-row accuracy every time. It automatically switches between tubes to allow any and all rate changes from field to field, no matter how dramatic the difference! Simply set the rate in your controller and LiquiShift® automatically chooses the proper metering tube to make your job a breeze.
High-Speed Planters
Faster application and/or planting speeds require larger flow ranges from your liquid application system. High-speed planters designed to work at 8-10 MPH impact fertilizer flow rates by a factor of 1.5-2. High-speed liquid applicators and side-dress machines create a similar scenario. LiquiShift® is ideal for all of these high-speed scenarios.
Two sizes of metering tube are installed on each row to provide maximum flexibility in application rate, application speed, and product used. LiquiShift® automatically switches between tubes or the operator can manually select the tube with on/off valves on each row. This provides the operator with the widest range of on-the-go rate changes of any application system available.
Why Metering Tube?
Metering tube is used in place of a traditional orifice to provide even distribution to each row. In a typical in-furrow application scenario, a 0.030” orifice is replaced with an 8’ length of metering tube having a passageway of 0.096." The combination of length and diameter equalizes flow to each row.
Metering tube eliminates the problem of plugged orifices and the need to run small strainers to keep small mechanical components and orifices from plugging. Metering Tube size varies from 0.080“ to 0.187.”
LiquiShift®, Metering Tube and Sentinel only require a 20 Mesh Strainer. A 20 Mesh screen has 385% larger passageway size and 48% more open area than an 80 Mesh screen. This allows for a more open flow and a more efficient process! With SurePoint's metering tube technology, only a 20 Mesh Strainer is required to “get out the big chunks!”
20 Mesh. That's All You Need.

The ROI of Knowing
Combine LiquiShift With
LiquiShift® works in conjunction with a SurePoint PumpRight liquid application system. PumpRight systems utilize a diaphragm pump with PWM variable speed hydraulic motor control. Joined with the industry-leading SurePoint E-Mag flow meter technology, this results in the most accurate and reliable system for applying fertilizer on your implement. PumpRight is available in four models. The correct model is selected to meet your application scenario.
