LectroBlast® Electrostatic Sprayers
Orchard / Vineyard

LectroBlast® Sprayers can operate at low volume electrostatic, all the way up to 350 gallons per acre, dilute: ONE SPRAYER THAT CAN DO IT ALL!  As chemical labels change, we can fit the need.  Our sprayers are designed for orchards, vineyards and groves.  These units are built to last.  When it comes to performance...Simply Better Coverage!

LectroBlast® Sprayers deliver on the promise of better coverage by:

• Improved canopy penetration

• Increased under leaf coverage

• Reduced spray drift

• Dilute capability

Here's how LectroBlast® Sprayers do it.

High velocity air moving at speeds over 200mph, picks up a negative electrical charge as it passes by the electrodes embedded in the exit volute of the sprayer.  As the air passes by the electrodes, it also passes by unique air-shear nozzles, where chemical-laden liquid is pulled into the air stream.  Small, fine droplets, approximately 50 micron in size, are created and take on a negative charge.  As the charged cloud comes near the plan, it has a magnet like effect.  The result is more chemical laden droplets deposited on the plant surface, especially in the under-leaf and hard to reach areas.

The high velocity air creates excellent canopy penetration, while the electrostatically charged droplets are attracted to the plant surface.  The result is superior canopy penetration over conventional sprayers and increased chemical coverage.  And since the droplets are all charged with the same negative charge, they react like magnets of the same charge and repel one another which keeps the spray pattern consistent.  They remain in this state until they come in contact with the plant that is earth grounded. 

The LectroBlast® Advantage is Simply Better Coverage, and less drift.

Delivering better chemical coverage is only one part of the LectroBlast® story.  Here are some other benefits that current sprayer owners are experiencing every day.

• Cover more ground in less time:   LectroBlast® Electrostatic Sprayers are able to travel faster than most conventional sprayers because they use high velocity air to get the chemical laden droplets to the plant surfaces.  Conventional sprayers use low velocity air and high-pressure spray.  Due to the high velocity air and charged spray cloud, LectroBlast® sprayers produce superior canopy penetrations while traveling at higher speeds.

• Fewer fill-ups:   LectroBlast® Electrostatic Sprayers are concentrate sprayers and usually apply rates less than 40 gallons per acre (GPA).  The results are fewer fill-ups than conventional sprayers.  And for those cases where you want to "wash down",  LectroBlast® sprayers are capable of up to 350 GPA.  Our sprayer offers the best of all worlds: electrostatic, concentrate and high volume when you need it.

• Easy Calibration:  Calibration is simple and quick.  Just apply your application to the simple formula shown on the Calibration chart, select the position on the metering valve and you are done.  No nozzles to change or size.  No orifices to switch.  Changing calibration takes only a minute.

• Low maintenance:   LectroBlast® Sprayers are high volume, low pressure Ace centrifugal pumps that pump 120 GPM at 20 psi.  Low pressure means low wear, and since we only deal with low pressure lines, no clamps or special high-pressure fittings are required.  The air shear nozzles feature a 3/16-inch orifice, which virtually eliminates plugging and wear.  The 540-rpm PTO shaft is a Walterscheid Constant Velocity driveline, designed for tight turns without chatter or damage.  The power train is well balanced, well tested and highly reliable.  Everything that has to be serviced on a daily basis is easy to get to.  Even our painted surfaces are unique.  They are powder coated for a high quality finish that is resistant to chipping and deterioration by sun and chemicals.

• High volume dilute kit:  (Available as optional equipment).  Choose to equip your  LectroBlast® sprayer with the optional Dilute Kit and you will be able to apply non-electrostatic rates of up to 350 GPA.

LectroBlast® Electrostatic Sprayers are made in Modesto, California.  They are designed and built for tough, high use conditions growers face every day.  Being local also means parts are readily available from the factory or one of several parts depots located in all regions of California.
