The rear-mounted NPA directional sprayer from OCLL is suitable for use in top fruit orchards and vineyards as well as other fruit crops, including raspberries. A galvanised steel frame chassis is standard on all models, with growers able to choose between 400, 500 or 600 litre tank capacities.
Featuring a modern design that ensures the unit passes through the crop without damaging plants, the NPA directional sprayer is equipped with an excellent quality 50 litres per min diaphragm pump. The NPA air-assisted nozzle system ensures even distribution and penetration of the spray through your crops.
By effectively producing micrometric-sized droplets in a mist, which completely and uniformly cover the leaves with a very fine protective film, a more concentrated, even and effective application of protection products can be achieved. This method also allows the spray to reach the most hidden parts of the plant while avoiding any run off and it allows the action of the active ingredients to take place evenly without staining the leaf or the fruit.
Other features of the NPA directional sprayer include a suction filter with shut-off valve and there is a 3-way valve for the fresh water tank for cleaning chemical residues. There is also jet agitation at high pressure, easily accessible controls, and a chart for calibrating spray rates.
The range of OCLL sprayers from Carrarospray, including the NPA directional sprayer, remains the most economically priced sprayers for growers with smaller-sized orchards or vineyards. We have stocked Carrarospray since the mid-1980s and have always noted how these well-built sprayers, which have a modern design to ensure that the unit passes through the crop without causing damage to plants, have consistently proven to give many years of reliable service.
