Automatic Micro-Mist Sprayer Centrals Droplet Size The Automatic Micro-Mist Concentrate Sprayer can be powered by the tractor pto for use on rowcrops, vegetables and , orchards. The Automatic Micro-Mist Concentrate Sprayer is a faster, more efficient, economical alternative to conventional boom and aerial spraying of rowcrops, vegetables and orchards. it takes mist blowing techniques a step further by giving the operator the ability to control the diameter of the spray droplets and choose the diameter best for each particular spraying application. Controlling droplet diameter results in increased effectiveness and reduced materials cost. The smaller droplets of the Micro-Mister coat all sides of the target evenly, due to the powerful turbulence produced by the unit. The Micro-Mister ef fectively coats the undersides of leaves, reaches inside trees, even coats the back sides of fruit. The compact size and the utilization of chemical concentrates by the Micro- Mister offers many advantages. The unit comes in models that can be powered by PTO on small tractors, or a gasoline powered skid unit that slides into the bed of any pickup. Because the Micro-Mister eliminates the need for cumbersome hauling equipment that requires additional manpower and time consuming stops for refilling, the Automatic Micro-Mister saves both time and money. The Automatic Micro-Mister can offer effective coverage up to 250 feet, depending on application, and can operate at speeds up to 12 m.p.h., with no dangerous overspray or drift.
