The Curtec Air Curtain Sprayer is a low volume air sprayer that improves coverage and sprays more acres per hour than conventional air blast sprayers. Curtec has seasons of field use in orchards and groves, and on such crops as apples, cherries, peaches and citrus. The Curtec Sprayer is a unique system that utilizes a Cross-Flow Fan and a Rotary Atomizer . Curtec's Rotary Atomizers create a uniform spectrum of small droplets.
Small droplets improve the coverage by creating more surface area for a given volume.
The atomizer is mounted within the outlet of the cross-flow fan and spins the droplets into the core of the air curtain. There are no orifices or nozzles to become plugged or worn. The Cross-Flow Fans develop a high volume, medium velocity air curtain. This air curtain remains intact and penetrates the foliage more uniformly and efficiently than conventional sprayers. Chemical droplets are laminated within the core of the air curtain which is uniformly directed into the tree where the droplets deposit on both the tops and bottoms of the leaves.
