Micron Sprayers has joined with Enviromist Industries of Australia to extend the range of products offered by Micron, to co-operate more closely in product development and to provide better sales and technical support to customers and distributors in the European market.  This cements a long relationship between the two companies.

 

Based on the Controlled Droplet Application (CDA) spray heads developed and manufactured by Micron, the shielded Enviromist range of sprayers offer many benefits to end users in vineyards, bush crops, soft fruit production, orchards, kerb side weed control, golf courses, amenity, turf and vegetables.  The Enviromist rolling breakaway system means it can be used around plants that are susceptible to mechanical damage while applying the herbicide right up to the base of the plant or bed.

 

With conventional high volume methods of herbicide application, considerable losses can occur through drift, evaporation and run-off.  The Enviromist shielded CDA sprayers apply spray only to the targeted area.  The patented range of shields ensures on-target spraying in wind conditions where the standard unshielded sprayers could not be used safely.

The use of the CDA rotary atomizer makes it possible to use a small droplet size for greater spraying efficiency.  This means that a larger area can be covered with a given amount of liquid giving substantial savings in reducing down time to re-fill and significantly increasing work rate.

Because the design of the equipment is lightweight, it can be used on all terrain vehicles (ATVs) or any vehicle with a 12 volt electrical system.  The savings that result from using ATVs can include much lower fuel costs, very low levels of soil compaction and faster spraying operations.  With lightweight vehicles, spraying can commence much earlier after heavy rain than with normal conventional tractor based spraying methods.  The Enviromist range of equipment can also be fitted to standard tractors if desired.
