DESCRIPTION

The HERBI 4 is a simple robust hand-held spinning disc Controlled Droplet
Application (CDA) sprayer powered by 4 torch (D-cell/R20) batteries, with one set of
good quality batteries giving over forty 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.
Micropak 5 litre backpack, is 7kgs.
