Turbinensprüher

Turbinensprüher, also known as turbine sprayers or rotary atomizers, are a type of agricultural spraying equipment used to apply pesticides, herbicides, and other liquid chemicals to crops. They utilize a spinning disc or wheel, often driven by an electric motor or an internal combustion engine, to atomize the liquid into fine droplets. The rotation of the disc imparts a centrifugal force on the liquid, causing it to be flung outwards and broken into a mist.

This atomization process results in very small droplet sizes, which can lead to more uniform coverage and better penetration into plant canopies. The fine mist also means less drift compared to some other spraying technologies, although precise calibration and operating conditions are still crucial for effective and safe application. Turbinensprüher are often favored for their efficiency and the quality of the spray pattern they produce.

Different designs of turbinensprüher exist, varying in the number of discs, their speed of rotation, and the overall configuration of the machine. They can be mounted on tractors, carried by operators, or integrated into larger automated spraying systems. The technology is particularly useful for applications where thorough coverage is essential, such as controlling certain types of pests or diseases. Maintenance typically involves cleaning the discs and ensuring the motor or engine is functioning correctly.
