The ELECTRAFAN 12 is a light air-assisted hand-held spinning disc Controlled

Droplet Application (CDA) sprayer. It is powered by a 12 volt DC battery, with Mi-

cron's rechargeable battery giving about 1½ hours spraying before recharging is re-

quired. The sprayer is designed for intermittent use. The sprayer with a full spray

bottle weighs 3.25 kg, and the Micron battery weighs 6.6 kg. An electric motor spins

the atomiser disc to produce uniformly small droplets which are carried to the target

by the airstream generated by the fan. Liquid is fed by gravity. The ELECTRAFAN

12 is designed primarily for the foliar application of insecticides and fungicides in

glasshouses and polytunnels of both water-based mixtures (e.g. ECs, WPs) at 20 to

40 litres/hectare total spray volume and Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) formulations. It is

also used to apply public health insecticides, for applying vaccines to poultry and for

insect control on livestock and in animal housing. When using the ELECTRAFAN

12 in an enclosed/confined space a full face shield and respirator must be worn (see

'OPERATOR PROTECTION').
