DESCRIPTION
The HERBI-4 is a simple robust hand-held spinning disc Controlled Droplet
Application (CDA) sprayer powered by 6 volt 3 Ah LSA battery, with one set of good
quality battery giving over 20 hours spraying time. It is designed to apply herbicides in
a 1.2m wide band at low volumes (10 to 30 litres/hectare). A governed electric motor
spins the atomiser disc at a constant 2,000 rpm to produce uniform spray droplets of
around 250 micron; large enough to minimise any risk of spray drift. Liquid is fed by
gravity through colour coded feed nozzles. The HERBI-4 can apply herbicides to
borders, pathways, ditches and larger areas by making a series of consecutive spray
passes. The weight of the machine ready to spray, with the ST 10 litre backpack.
