General information

:

The foot sprayer is one of the ideal and versatile sprayers used for multipurpose spraying jobs.. The sprayer consists of a pump operated by the foot lever, suction hose with strainer, delivery hose, spray lance fitted with shut off pistol valve, gooseneck bend and adjustable nozzles. The sprayer does not have inbuilt tank, therefore an additional storage device or container is required to store the spray liquid in which the strainer( )f suction hose remain submerged It has provision for the two discharge lines, which increases its versatility and field capacity. The plunger pump being a positive displacement pump, builds up a high pressure to throw spray liquid to larger distances with a suitable boom. The pump barrel, lance and the spray nozzle are made from brass alloy. For operation the inlet pipe is placed in the storage container and one person continuously operates the pump by foot lever. There is a provision for the operator to hold the sprayer at the top by V-type fixture. The other person directs the lance to the target. For spraying tall trees up to a height of to m, a high jet or bamboo lance can be used.
