Applications

The versatility of the Micron AU8000 Sprayer makes it ideal for a wide range of applications.  These include:

• Control of migrant pests such as locust, armyworm, quelea etc. – see Applications section, Migrant Pest Control
• Public health spraying against flies, mosquitos etc. – see Applications section, Public Health AU8000EH
• Pest control in warehouses, storage areas etc.
• Pest and disease control in orchards, vegetables, rice, cotton, tea, coffee etc.
• Spraying inside greenhouses and plastic tunnels.

The wide flow range and adjustable droplet size mean considerable versatility so the sprayer can be used for any application rate or type of chemical from ultra low volume to several hundred litres per hectare.

As well as being supplied as part of a complete sprayer, the AU8000 Sprayhead is also available as a conversion kit for suitable mistblowers.  The kit includes connecting tubes, handle/control valve, restrictors and all attachments needed to replace a standard mistblower outlet.  This kit is suitable for most types of 5HP machine (For satisfactory operation, the air output from the mistblower must be 100 – 125 m/sec at the outlet).

“The AU8000 sprayhead is working great attached onto my Solo 451 Mist Blower, as well as with my liquid formulations. I am filtering the liquids through a 100 mesh screen prior to spray application.

I have sprayed a series of different types of plants which includes blueberries, various garden vegetables ( tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, brussel sprouts, broccoli, beans, beets), ¼ acre of hops and pear trees. I am spraying on a weekly basis to reduce the negative effects of insects. I have also used the sprayer on our hostas and roses.“
