The ELECTRAFAN 110/240 is a light, air-assisted, hand-held, spinning disc Con-

trolled Droplet Application (CDA) sprayer. It is powered by a mains electric motor

of either 110 volt or 240 volt. The use of a suitable extension cable enables treat-

ments of up to 80m from a power source. The sprayer is designed for intermittent

use. The sprayer with a full spray bottle weighs 3.25 kg. An electric motor spins the

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

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

110/240 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

110/240 in an enclosed/confined space a full face shield and respirator must be worn

(see 'OPERATOR PROTECTION').
