Abstract:
An injector system for preparing a water dilutable insecticidal formulation which comprises:a container having an inlet and an outlet for holding the water dilutable insecticidal formulation prior to dilution with water;a mixing system for mixing the water dilutable insecticidal formulation in the container prior to dilution comprisinga recirculation pump,fluid lines connecting the outlet of the container to the recirculation pump and connecting the recirculation pump to the inlet of the container forming a recirculation loop for recirculating the water dilutable insecticidal formulation through the recirculation loop and the container, anda valve in the recirculation loop between the container and the recirculation pump for diverting the water dilutable insecticidal formulation from the recirculation loop and the container to a water injection pump;a water source;the water injection pump comprisinga water inlet port,a water outlet port,a water dilutable insecticidal formulation inlet port, anda water dilutable insecticidal formulation outlet port,wherein the water inlet port is connected to the water source providing a water stream passing through the outlet of the water injection pump,wherein the water dilutable insecticidal formulation inlet port is connected to the valve for diverting the flow from the recirculation loop providing a fluid stream for the water dilutable insecticidal formulation passing through the water dilutable insecticidal formulation outlet of the water injection pump;a water line connecting the water outlet port of the water injector pump to a dispensing system;a fluid line connecting the water dilutable insecticidal formulation outlet of the water injection pump and the water line, whereby the water injector pump injects a predetermined amount of the water dilutable insecticidal formulation into the water stream forming a final water diluted insecticidal formulation; andthe dispensing system connected to the water line for dispensing the water diluted insecticidal formulation into application equipment comprisinga dispensing nozzle, anda hose connecting the water line to the dispensing nozzle.
