An oil and maintenance free low-pressure rotary pump produces an air stream of high velocity, which is further accelerated in the swirl vane of the nozzle system. backpack nya zeelandThis air stream produces suctionball camp backpack mk5 in the solution pipe and conveys the chemical solution, which is atomizedmysale backpack into an extremely fine and uniform droplet spectrum at the nozzle system.billabong tiki backpack The application is carried out with the ergonomically designed spraying pistol

equipped with a start/stop trigger for intermittent or continuous spraying. The Fontan® Portastar is specially designed for the dispersion of ULV formulations and/or highly concentrated chemical preparations. quantities range between 0.25 and 1.6 gallons/hour (or between 1 and 6 liter/hour) depending on the nozzle installed.

The ULV method ensures an economic consumption of chemical preparations. A minimum amount processed into a uniform droplet spectrum of approximately 2 - 20 microns guarantees an optimal distribution and coverage without Today, tens of thousands of our products are successfully in use throughoutHealth and military organizations frequently use the Fontan®
