Use of Agricultural Spray Pump

An Agricultural Spray Pump is an automatic tool used by farmers in the application of crop-protecting chemicals. This tool has a tank that holds the spray mixture and nozzle tips. It also has a left and right clutch, which can be locked to prevent it from moving when in use. The farmer presses the belts to hang the tank on his body, and then releases air pressure in the tank to operate the nozzles.

Centrifugal

Centrifugal pumps have a variety of uses, and are highly versatile. They can handle a variety of liquids, including corrosive liquids. They are easy to install and are designed to fit tractor-mounted sprayers. They can handle up to 130 gallons per minute and are highly durable.

A centrifugal pump is a type of pump with a spiral chamber that houses an impeller. This pump can be self-priming or require a step-up speed mechanism. A belt and sheave assembly is the least expensive step-up speed mechanism. Enclosed planetary gears mounted directly on the PTO shaft are another option. The pump can also be driven by a tractor hydraulic system or a direct-coupled gasoline engine.

The rollers of a centrifugal pump can be made from Teflon or nylon for maximum chemical resistance. However, the rollers may wear quickly if the chemical used is wettable. Therefore, it is important to choose the right type of roller.

Piston

Diaphragm pumps are popular in the agricultural market. They have high flow rates and are durable, as well as being able to handle abrasive liquids and powders. They operate efficiently at 540 rpm and can reach up to 60 GPM. They are also good for a variety of applications, including fungicides and high-pressure solutions. They are similar to piston pumps, except that they do not require lubrication.

Piston pumps are relatively expensive, but are durable and long-lasting. Larger piston pumps can operate at 600 PSI, which is suitable for spraying high-pH liquid fertilizer, fungicides, and livestock. However, these pumps must be used in conjunction with a surge tank installed at the outlet. This surge tank will reduce the characteristic line pulsation that can occur when spraying with a piston pump.

Irrigation injection

There are several ways to administer chemicals during irrigation. One of them is by using a pressure differential injector. The principle is simple - when the pressure at the point of injection is lower than the pressure at the point of intake, the chemical will flow into the line. There are several techniques that use this principle, which fall into two general groups. The first is the suction pipe technique, which can be used only in surface water sources. It is not recommended for groundwater supply in Florida and is only approved for fertilizer injection.

Another method is a diaphragm pump. These pumps use a PTO to run, and may use a hydraulic or 12-volt DC motor. Another type is called an irrigation injection pump, and it has many advantages. For one, it can deliver precise amounts of chemicals.

Hand-operated

A hand-operated agricultural spray pump is a useful piece of equipment for farmers to apply liquid substances to their crops. They are more convenient than a conventional watering can cover a large area with ease. In addition to application of pesticides, they can also be used for irrigation. Some sprayers have a backpack design that allows farmers to quickly treat small areas.

A manual agricultural spray pump uses air and a trigger to deliver a fine mist of liquid. The air in the top of the bottle is at a greater pressure than the air in the tube, so the liquid is forced up the tube toward the pump mechanism. It then leaves the area as a fine mist that resembles an aerosol spray.
