Shifa Compression (Pressure) Sprayers

Compression (Pressure) Sprayers

Components and Features

Tank

Material: Most tanks are made from durable plastic or stainless steel. Plastic tanks are lightweight and less expensive, while stainless steel tanks are more durable and resistant to corrosion.

Capacity: Tanks come in various capacities, ranging from small handheld models (1-2 liters) to larger backpack models (15-20 liters). Choose the size based on your needs.

Pump

Manual Pump: Requires manual effort to create pressure inside the tank. It involves a handle that you pump up and down to build up the pressure.

Battery-Operated Pump: Uses a battery to create pressure automatically, reducing the need for manual effort. Ideal for larger areas or extended use.

Nozzle

Adjustable Nozzle: Allows you to change the spray pattern from a fine mist to a direct stream. This is useful for different applications, such as misting plants or targeting specific areas.

Brass Nozzle: Brass nozzles are more durable and provide a consistent spray pattern. They are often preferred for professional use.

Trigger

Control Handle: The trigger mechanism allows you to control the flow of the liquid. It typically includes a locking feature for continuous spraying without holding down the trigger.

Pressure Relief Valve

Safety Feature: Ensures the tank does not become over-pressurized, which could cause it to burst. It automatically releases excess pressure to maintain safe operating levels.

Usage Guidelines

Mixing and Filling

Proper Ratio: Always mix the liquid solution according to the recommended ratios provided by the manufacturer. Over-concentrated solutions can damage plants and surfaces.

Filling: Fill the tank to the recommended level, ensuring you leave some space for air to create pressure. Do not overfill the tank.

Pressurizing

Manual Pumping: For manual pumps, pump the handle up and down until you feel resistance and the desired pressure is reached.

Battery-Operated Pumping: For battery-operated models, switch on the pump to automatically build pressure.

Spraying

Even Coverage: Use a sweeping motion to evenly distribute the spray over the target area. Avoid over-spraying to prevent runoff and wastage.

Adjusting Nozzle: Adjust the nozzle to the desired spray pattern. Use a fine mist for broad coverage and a direct stream for targeted applications.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Rinse Tank and Nozzle: After each use, rinse the tank and nozzle thoroughly with clean water to prevent clogging and corrosion.

Storage: Store the sprayer in a cool, dry place. Make sure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew growth.
