Agricultural Air Blast Sprayers

Agricultural air blast sprayers mainly rely on the airflow generated by the blower and the droplets formed by the sprayer. The blower delivers the droplets from the sprayer to the target crop by creating a strong airflow. The atomizer uses a specific nozzle design to pressurize and atomize the liquid into tiny particles. These tiny particles, driven by the air flow, can evenly cover the leaves and stems of the crop.

Understanding Agricultural Air Blast Sprayers and Their Importance

What is the Air Blast Sprayers?

Blast sprayer, in the field of agriculture, is a very professional and efficient tool, mainly used to spray crops with a variety of protective liquids, such as pesticides, fungicides, herbicides and so on. It is especially suitable for orchards, vineyards and other tree-based planting areas, because these areas are often tall trees, leafy, traditional spraying methods are difficult to achieve the ideal effect.

The working principle of the agricultural air blast sprayers are actually very simple, relying on a powerful fan to create a high-speed air flow. The force of this air stream is so strong that it helps the spray droplets penetrate deep into the canopy. Not only the surface of the tree crown, but also those hidden behind the leaves that are difficult to reach with traditional nozzles, can be covered by the spray droplets driven by this air stream. In this way, the efficiency of pesticide use is not only improved, but also the waste of chemicals is reduced, and the protection of crops is more comprehensive.

When it comes to the construction of the blast atomizer, it is necessary to mention several key components. First of all, the tank is used to hold the liquid to be sprayed. Then, a pump pressurizes the liquid, allowing it to spray out smoothly. The fan is the "giant" that makes the air flow mentioned earlier. The purpose of the nozzle is to beat the liquid into tiny droplets, which are more easily absorbed by the plant. There is also a pressure regulator, which controls the pressure of the spray and allows us to adjust it as needed. The blender is also important to ensure that the spray liquid remains uniform at all times and does not precipitate. Finally, the control valve is used to manage the flow and distribution of the liquid, allowing us to control the spraying process more precisely.

How to calibrate the agricultural air blast sprayers?

First, get some tools, such as a tape measure, stopwatch, calibration container, calculator, and personal protective equipment. All of this needs to be ready before we can start calibrating.

Make sure the agricultural air blast sprayers are clean and working properly. You have to check for leaks, hoses for damage, nozzles for blockage. All of this needs to be monitored, or the calibration won't be accurate.

Next, we have to measure the ground speed. This involves cutting out a distance of 100 meters in an orchard or vineyard and filling the spray can halfway with water. Just drive the tractor and sprayer at normal working speed and time the time it takes to complete the 100-meter distance. This process is repeated three times, and the average time is calculated.

Therefore, we must pay attention to the calibration work of the agricultural air blast sprayers and follow the rules, so as to ensure the interests of our farmers and make our environment better.
