Any land user understands that a good harvest is possible only with decent care. Sprayer "Fog" will help protect various crops from pests and replenish the soil with mineral or chemical elements. Moreover, the manufacturer presents both manual variations and self-propelled devices. Consider the proposed modifications, their features and customer reviews.
Fog 2
Self-propelled sprayer is an agricultural machine, which is a modern complex with the ability to carry out several types of agricultural work. With the participation of this technique, it is possible to introduce soil herbicides, fertilize and spray various crops.
The device can work on the processing of most plants during the growing season, regardless of the time of day. The accuracy of the operations provided by satellite navigation. Sprayer "Fog-2" allows you to process up to fifteen hectares per season. Such a machine can easily cope with the area of any private farm or medium-sized agricultural society. The design of the equipment includes a frame equipped with a power unit, a pump reservoir, hoses and tanks. The engine of the device is equipped with four cylinders with a carburetor. Middle and front wheels - uncontrolled type, the rear elements are fixed using special levers.
Specifications
The sprayer "Fog-2" has the following technical plan parameters:
- The length / width of the platform is 5500/2700 mm.
- Weight - 2400 kg.
- Spreader mass - 2.2 t.
- Engine type - ZMZ-406.
- The platform is triaxial with two leading and one controlled element.
- Type of wheels - narrow tires with a tractor tread and wide wheels with reinforcement and an internal pressure of 0.3 atmosphere.
- Suspension - pneumatic type with hydraulic shock absorbers.
Narrow wheels are used to drive between rows, have dimensions of 1500x210 mm and a transverse phase of 2100 or 2250 mm. Such a design makes it possible to navigate in areas where the transition from row to row is about 0.45-0.7.
The wide wheels of the Tuman-2 sprayer have a sheath of tires, due to which the equipment can pass through territories with young shoots without harming them. In addition, this design feature makes it possible to achieve stability on arable land, regardless of soil characteristics and weather conditions.
Exploitation
The car in question has high performance, is able to move around the field at a speed of up to 40 km / h. At the same time, the volumes of the working fluid do not play a big role. "Fog-2" is a self-propelled sprayer that is refueled using a special mixer; the design provides a hydraulic system that changes the position of the main hose. Electronic adjustment of the working part allows you to control fluid flow in the range from 20 to 300 liters per hectare. High precision processing is guaranteed by the integrated satellite navigation unit. The tank is refueling in less than 10 minutes, per hour the equipment can process about 8 hectares, and more than 100 hectares per day.
Sprayer "Fog-1"
This technique is more compact than the analogue considered above, it is intended for processing fields on which various cultures grow. Its functionality includes spraying plants and fertilizing the soil.
The self-propelled machine is equipped with a 70 liter gasoline engine. from. Dimensions of equipment are 4200 millimeters in dyne, in width - 2460 mm, respectively. The unit provides air suspension and several types of chassis. Two pairs of wheels have high tractor tires, another three pieces are equipped with reinforced tire covers.
The spraying device is equipped with a special supercharger with nozzles having automatic or mechanical control, regulating the flow of the working composition, as well as a boom or turbine spraying system.
Equipment
"Fog-1" is a self-propelled sprayer, in the design of which the developers implemented a number of fundamentally new technological solutions. This allowed us to create decent competition not only to other domestic, but also to foreign analogues.
Firstly, a self-propelled platform is used, made on the basis of an all-terrain vehicle that can move through marshy and loose terrain. Secondly, the installation of a lightweight frame on an independent suspension is provided. The versatility of the unit is ensured by the possibility of mounting not only a spraying device, but also a turbine diffuser, a special hopper for fertilizing, as well as a soil treatment device.
Features
The mechanized sprayer "Fog" has an increased cross-country ability. This indicator is provided thanks to two pairs of drive wheels with reinforced planetary gear type. The working clearance of the machine is at least 60 centimeters. The main driving element are pneumatic tires, the pressure in the cord of which is 0.2 atmospheres.
Such design features of the equipment make it possible to improve driving performance when driving on arable land, as well as guarantee the integrity of young seedlings. It is worth noting that the average load of each wheel on the ground does not exceed 100 grams per centimeter. In addition to these advantages, the sprayer "Fog" has good maintainability. The machine uses Niva steering parts, adjustable chain transmissions, and reinforced pneumatic systems.
Benefits
The unit under consideration has a number of advantages over competitors. Among them:
- Reasonable price and unpretentiousness in operation.
- The ability to repair the machine in the field.
- Availability and reasonable price of consumables and repair kits.
- Elementary transmission design.
- The working life of the power unit is at least 500 thousand kilometers.
In addition, the sprayer "Fog", the technical characteristics of which are presented above, is distinguished by the reliability and reliability of most nodes, is equipped with high-quality additional devices and has wide functionality.
Working nozzles
Among the main working elements, several types of equipment can be distinguished:
- Hydraulic sprayers. They consist of a rod and aluminum pipes, the system allows you to make chemical and organic preparations on a strip of 21 meters. The flow rate of the mixture is about 10-180 liters per hectare with a fuel consumption of about 0.1 liters of gasoline. As the engine used engine from the car "Niva". To control the unit, only one operator is enough, in an hour it is quite possible to cultivate 60 hectares of agricultural land. The maximum supply of working fluid is 600 liters.
- Processing with a turbine fan. This mechanism allows you to pump and spray the reagent at a distance of up to 100 meters. In fair winds, the feed distance is doubled. The working pressure for spraying the solution is 4.5 atmospheres, the process is carried out using 20 nozzles, about 20 liters of mixture are consumed per minute.
- Nozzle for feeding. The “Fog” sprayer, reviews of which are given below, can be converted into a spreader responsible for the application of mineral fertilizers in a couple of hours. The equipment has a capture of 18 meters, lays up to 200 kilograms of useful substances with a fuel consumption of about 200 milliliters. A bunker with a capacity of 8500-1000 kilograms is used as a working tank.
Manual analog
Hand sprayer "Fog" has the following characteristics:
- The capacity of the tank is 15 liters.
- Weight - 3.3 kg.
- Work tube - 1 m aluminum telescopic hose.
- The maximum pressure is 3.5 bar.
- The tank material is plastic.
- The fluid used is water and spray chemicals.
- Spray angle - 45 degrees.
- The handle of the rod works with a force of about 120 N.
- The range of fluid supply is 1.8 m.
- Existence of a wide jellied opening with the mesh filter.
- Shoulder straps are adjustable.
- A high-performance booster pump is provided.
A backpack sprayer with a side booster handle is ideal for use in private gardens, cottages, in greenhouses and household plots. It can be used for spraying crops from pests, disinfection, washing windows, walls, cars. The main advantages of the manual version are light weight, high-quality housing, reliable pump and aluminum telescopic tube.
What do consumers say?
"Fog-2" - a sprayer, the characteristics of which are given above, received mainly positive feedback from users. This can be said about his "brothers." Farmers and gardeners note a number of significant advantages, namely:
