DESCRIPTION
The HERBIFLEX-4 is a hand-held, shrouded, spinning disc, Controlled Droplet Ap-
plication (CDA) sprayer. It is powered by four torch (D-cell/R20) batteries, with one
set of good quality batteries giving over 30 hours spraying time. It is designed to apply herbicides in adjustable narrow bands of between 10 and 75 cm at low volumes
(10 to 30 litres/hectare). A go verned electric motor spins the ato miser disc at a constant 2,800 rpm to produce uniform spray droplets of around 200 micron; large
enough to minimise any risk of spray drift. Liquid is fed by gravity through colour
coded feed nozzles.
