Bullock Operated Sprayer

The main components of the sprayer are self made frame, lugged iron wheels, differential unit (of fiat car), belt and pulley drive, gear box, gear shifting lever, chain & sprocket drive, pump, spray tank (100 lit capacity), spray boom and nozzles. The device is pulled by a pair of bullocks. The gear box has three gears. When operator shifts the lever to higher gear, frequency of strokes of pump increases which consequently develops more pressure. As a result the spray fluid atomizes into fine droplets with wider swath. When the gear box is in neutral position, the drive to the pumping unit gets cut off. The suction pipe of the pump is connected to the spray tank and delivery pipe is connected to the spray boom. The height of the spray boom can be adjusted as per the requirement suiting to the height of the crop. The spray boom has 16 nozzles spaced at a distance of 35 cm.

The height of the spray boom can be adjusted as per the requirement, suiting to the height of the crop to be sprayed. It has a field capacity of 2.5 – 3.0 ha/hr.

The novelty lies in retrofitting the known things for application in agricultural unit operation at low cost.

Most of the sprayers are operated by tractor or manually. This product is operated with bullock power.
