Electrostatic speayer

Tunin · Feb 26, 2022

Hi guys, I have been researching the electrostatic sprayers for my vineyards, olive prchards for some time now.

Has anyone had any experiance with this type of sprayers?

I was looking at the Turkish made Boa also talked to some people with Vicar company (being that my current Vicar sprayer is awesome, built like a tank with the best type of pump, AR. The people from Vicar are not yet pushing for that tech but they have been researching it.

any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yes was on development team doing orange groves. Had good efficacy in the center of the trees. Wrap around of the canopy was excellent. The problem was no farmer was comfortable with estat spray equipment. Dealing with DC voltage low micro amps. Same as what fence charger puts out to keep livestock contained. We were using roots blower coupled with estat external charge. Two things needed to happen in this industry before estat takes off reformulation of pesticides to only put on few gallons an acre and the second willingness of the farmers to adopt the technology. It does work we have the field studies to prove it. Also Ohio Science research has quite bit of field studies done with multiple estat sprayers. Been in Estat spraying segment covering industry and auto markets for 35 years. Never could get pesticide companies or farmers to embrace technology. Farmers have to want the technology to get manufacturers interested in the market.
