MANAGING noxious weeds in hard to reach places is part and parcel of land management.
Spraying gullies, under fence lines, in tree plantations and roadside verges all require compact equipment that produced good coverage.
Silvan Australia have released a new 300 litre capacity Smoothflo Squatpak spray unit combination to fit this market.
According to the release the Squatpak is compact and fully equipped with a 12-volt electric pressure pump with a choice of hose reels.
The atomising spray gun has an adjustable spray pattern. This allows the gun to apply a fine mist or a pencil stream depending on target and purpose.
The 300-litre capacity tank is fitted with an internal baffle and a drain plug that facilitates draining and cleaning after use.
There is an external suction filter with a clear bowl.
According to the specifications the Squatpak has a footprint that is just over one metre square. Dimensions are 1050 mm in length by 580 mm in height by 1010mm in width.
The Squatpak has an Aquatec DDP 552 series pump that includes an auto bypass, a pressure sensing switch with adaptive pressure sensing mechanism.
The Aquatec pump provides a seven litres per minute open flow or a 120 psi working pressure.
The unit offers the choice of a 30-metre hand wand up or 15 metre swivelling spring retraction hose reel making it ideal for spraying from a vehicle in motion along defined areas, like driveways, plantations, beneath fence lines or roadsides.
