STRUCTURE:

This Sprayer consists of five units: a tank, a pump, a spraying unit (tube, switch, a spray boom, and a spray head), a rock bar unit and a strap.

PRINCIPLES:

The leather cup moves up/down in the pump cylinder due to the swinging of rock bar unit to produce a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the pump which will drive the valve sheet to open and close so as to pump the mixture into the chamber which will be sprayed like fog through the spraying unit.

FEATURES:

1. The tank is ergonomically designed to imitate the curve of human back to ensure close contact with and comfortable carrying on the back. The built-in chamber offers compact and leak-free structure.

2. Come with a piston pump to ensure simple, safe, leak-free and labour-saving operation.

3. It comes with a hold-and-release switch to allow flexible, leak-proof and sound operation, ideal for both spot spraying and continual spraying.

4. A variety of nozzles are available depending on the practical demands to attain optimum spraying result.

5. The whole unit is made of premium materials to ensure high resistance to acid, base and corrosion, in addition to proven air-tightness and durability.
