Boom sprayers
It is a tool used to spray agricultural equipment and agricultural fertilizers for crops in fields and open farms planted with short herbaceous plants such as (wheat, barley, alfalfa, cotton, potatoes….. etc.), this modern equipment has two arms with a nozzles fixed on it for what it does From saving the chemicals used, as the quantity of 100 liters of the chemical (diluted) is sufficient to spray an entire acre . This equipment is divided in terms of the area of cultivated land into two types:
Tractor Mounted Boom Sprayers
It is used in open fields with small and medium spaces, and it is an equipment mounted on a tractor by a fixed points and it consists of an iron frame with the following installed on it:
1- A polyethylene tank for chemicals liquid, a capacity of (600 or 800) liters, it is equipped with an exciter to stir the chemical liquid for good mixing and not to precipitate the chemicals at the bottom of the tank.
2- A pure water tank to clean the user’s hands and tools.
3- The main tank filled automatically with a filter.
4- An external filter from the tank to the rest of the connections and nozzles with a one-way protection valve.
5- Spray arm with a length of (12 or 16) meters, from steel coated with anti-corrosion paint, which is individually open and folded manually.
6- Height of the spray arm adjusted hydraulically.
7- Spray arm carry a uni-jet anti-drip plastic nozzles.
8- Diaphragm Pump with pressure of 45 bar, flow rate of 71 liter/min and rpm of 540 r/min takes its motion from the tractor engine by a cardan shaft.
9- Pressure control unit of 3 outlets for good distribution on the equipment.
Trailed Boom Sprayers
It is used in open lands with large areas because the equipment is characterized by a large tank and a long spray arm, installed on a heavy iron chassis carried on two wheels. This chassis is towed behind a tractor with an appropriate capacity and consists of the following:
1- Heavy iron chassis coated with anti-corrosion paint, equipped with a drawbar that can be changed in length and width.
3- A tank of polyethylene for the chemicals liquid, a capacity of 3000 liters, installed on the chassis and equipped with an agitator to stir the chemical liquid for good mixing and not to precipitate the chemicals at the bottom of the tank.
4- A pure water tank to clean the user’s hands.
5- Additional tank for gastric lavage.
6- The main tank filled automatically with a filter.
7- An external filter from the tank to the external connections and nozzles with a one-way protection valve.
8- Steel spray arm coated with anti-corrosion paint with a length of 18 meters, and it is opened and folded hydraulically.
9- Height of the spray arm adjusted hydraulically.
10- The spray arm is equipped with uni-jet anti-drip plastic nozzles that suit the spray flowrate and pressure.
11- Diaphragm Pump with pressure of 50 bar, flow rate of 145 liter/min and rpm of 540 r/min takes its motion from the tractor engine by a cardan shaft.
12- Pressure control unit of 5 outlets for good distribution on the equipment.
