MICRONAIR AU8000 SPRAYER
1. INTRODUCTION
The AU8000 Sprayer consists of a Micronair AU8000 sprayhead mounted on a knapsack
mistblower.
The sprayhead provides a narrow, easily controlled spectrum of spray droplets to ensure
an even distribution of product with a minimum of wastage. Air from the mistblower rotates
the atomiser and is then directed into the airstream which carries the spray safely away
from the operator and ensures maximum swath width and penetration of foliage.
The AU8000 sprayer is intended for use in agriculture, public health spraying, migratory
pest control (locust, armyworm etc.) and in any other application where a safe, effective,
portable sprayer is required. It can be used with conventional water-based chemicals
(both solutions and solids in suspension) and with specialised ULV formulations. The unit
is supplied with easily interchangeable restrictors for quick and easy calibration of output
rate for all chemicals and application techniques.
Regardless of chemical type or application rate, the AU8000 sprayhead ensures optimum
coverage of the target with a minimum wastage of chemical due to incorrectly sized
droplets or run-off.
The AU8000 sprayhead is also available separately as a conversion kit for use with an
existing mistblower. For satisfactory operation, the air output from the mistblower must be
as shown in the specification below.
