Minoru Herbicide Sprayer FT-185

SUMMARY A backpack sprayer designed specifically for herbicide application, featuring low-pressure spraying and dedicated nozzles for even coverage with reduced drift and less waste. FEATURES Made in Japan quality control: Thorough quality control is maintained throughout the entire process, from manufacturing to shipping, all within Japan. Dedicated to herbicide application: Designed specifically for herbicide spraying with low-pressure operation at 0.05 MPa and dedicated nozzles for more targeted and even application. Pressure switching lever on top of the tank: The lever on the top of the tank allows switching between low pressure (0.05 MPa) and high pressure (0.2 MPa), helping reduce spray drift and unnecessary application. Smooth handle operation: The rack gear system provides light and smooth handle operation while delivering sufficient output. Uniform spraying: The constant-pressure system helps maintain even spraying performance. Comfortable backpack design: Equipped with an adjustable shoulder strap and a waist cushion that helps reduce shaking of the main unit, allowing a secure fit, easier movement, and less fatigue. Three standard nozzles included: Comes standard with three types of nozzles for different purposes: an adjustable nozzle for band spraying between ridges and overall spraying, a foam nozzle for Roundup, and a mist nozzle for overall spraying. Adjustable telescopic nozzle: The telescopic nozzle can be adjusted from 48 to 85 cm. Durable chemical-resistant construction: Made of special reinforced chemical-resistant plastic for excellent durability and rust-free performance. Reduced spray drift: Helps reduce spray drift by allowing the spraying width to be adjusted according to surrounding crops, greenhouse areas, and other field conditions.

Can it be used for anything other than herbicides? The FT-185 is a herbicide-dedicated sprayer designed specifically for herbicide application. To help prevent chemical drift onto crops, it is designed with a lower pressure setting (0.05 MPa) than general-purpose sprayers. It is not suitable for applying insecticides or fungicides. How large is the tank capacity? FT-185 has a tank capacity of 18 liters. What types of nozzles are included? Three nozzle types are included as standard depending on the application. Adjustable nozzle: for band spraying between ridges and overall spraying. Foam nozzle: for applying small amounts of liquid such as Roundup in foam form. Mist nozzle: for overall spraying and dense weeds. Can the pressure be switched? Yes. A lever on the top of the tank allows switching between two pressure levels according to the situation: low pressure (0.05 MPa) and high pressure (0.2 MPa).
