DESCRIPTION

The HANDY is a lightweight hand-held, spinning disc, Controlled Droplet Applica-
tion (CDA) sprayer, designed for the application of herbicides at low volumes (10 to
30 litres/hectare). It is powered by four torch (D-cell/R20) batteries, which give over
40 hours spraying. Liquid is fed by gravity through colour coded feed nozzles. An
electrically governed motor spins the atomiser disc at a constant 2000 rpm to produce
uniform spray droplets of around 250 micron; large enough to minimise any risk of
spray drift. The ergonomic design of the HANDY, with the carrying handle and bot-
tle being an integral part of the machine allows for closed chemical transfer and im-
proved operator safety. The weight of the machine ready to spray is 6.2 kg.
