Gravitasjonssprøyte

Gravitasjonssprøyte refers to a type of agricultural sprayer that utilizes gravity as the primary force for dispensing liquid. Unlike sprayers that rely on pumps or pressurized systems, a gravitasjonssprøyte typically consists of a reservoir positioned above a distribution mechanism. As the liquid level in the reservoir decreases, gravity naturally pushes it downwards through a series of tubes or nozzles. This design often results in a simpler and more robust spraying system, as it eliminates the need for complex mechanical or electrical components.

The application of gravitasjonssprøyter is generally limited to specific scenarios where precise pressure control is not critical. They are often used for simple tasks such as applying liquid fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides in smaller agricultural settings or for non-commercial purposes. The flow rate is dependent on the height of the reservoir and the viscosity of the liquid being sprayed. Maintenance is typically straightforward due to the minimal number of moving parts. While less common than pressurized sprayers in large-scale commercial agriculture, the gravitasjonssprøyte offers a low-cost and energy-efficient alternative for certain spraying needs.
