Airtec Air Sprayers improve spray coverage by eliminating the waste created by high pressure boom sprayers, handgun spraying, and traditional air blast sprayers. The waste eliminated includes spray drift, material runoff, lost time, and overall spray efficiency. Airtec Air Sprayers generate high wind speed with the spray material injected in the Air Nozzle or Cannon with a standard spray tip sized for the intended spray rate. This process atomizes the spray further creating a powerful air stream of spray droplets that are then targeted directly at the plant canopy. This process creates leaf movement and turbulence in the plant canopy allowing for the spray droplets to get inside the plant where pest and disease thrive.
The elimination of spray waste by the utilization of Airtec’s Air Sprayer allows growers to use the amount of chemicals needed to achieve control rather than accounting for excess material lost to spray drift, runoff, and waste. This leads to a reduction in water usage, fuel savings, equipment savings, and labor. The Airtec Air Sprayer helps your nursery become more sustainable environmentally, operationally, and financially.
- Sustainable Coverage – The accurate and targeted application of spray material with pressurized air significantly improves spray coverage throughout the plant canopy leading to better pest and disease control
- Sustainable Environmentally – Reduced spray drift and runoff helps the environment
- Sustainable Economically – Better coverage leads to reduced chemical cost, reduced labor, and improved plant health improving the bottom line
Airtec’s Nursery Air Booms are the ultimate in spray efficiency for a container nursery. The Air Boom’s provide superior coverage due to reduced drift improving both pest and disease control and overall plant health. Airtec’s Air Booms can apply all fungicides, insecticides, and liquid herbicides. Additionally, Airtec’s Nursery Air Boom can incorporate a granular application system allowing for all forms of dry fertilizer and granular applications. This allows for the same piece of equipment to be used for liquid and dry applications increasing ROI.
Airtec’s Nursery Cannon sprayers provide growers a more targeted solution than traditional air blast or cheap foreign made sprayers. Airtec specializes in single and double cannon sprayers designed to target the plant bed for reduced drift, increased efficiency, and a more consistent application of spray. Airtec’s Cannon Sprayers come in both big and small models sized to the size of the tractor and the spray requirements of the grower.
Airtec Sprayers has sprayer models designed for nurseries of all sizes including container nurseries, bare root nurseries, Christmas trees, tree farms, woody ornamentals, flowers, fruit plants, and all other outdoor nursery stock. Airtec Sprayers offers a full line of nursery spray equipment from small handgun sprayers, to cannon sprayers, to air boom sprayers to service all your nursery spraying needs.
