General Information

:

The unit has a telescopic (62  and 37 mm ) G.I. pipes which can extend from 9 m to 14 m height by winding a cable.  The telescopic G.I. pipes are  mounted on a ‘L’ angle frame work hitched to the tractor through the three point linkage connection.  At the base of the frame, a 200 lit capacity chemical tank is mounted.  The commercially available ASPEE triplex reciprocating pump is mounted on a base plate near the PTO shaft of the tractor.  At the top of the 37 mm G.I. pipe, two spray guns with nozzles for cone or jet spray are hinged so that they can be moved up and down by ropes from the ground level.  In addition the spray guns can be rotated about the vertical axis of the telescopic pipe arrangement. These features of the sprayer ensure that the entire canopy area of the tree is easily sprayed.
