What are chemical spraying pumps used for?
Chemical spraying pumps are essential for moving liquids, such as herbicides, pesticides, and fertilisers, from the tank to your spray boom, hose, or lance. They ensure chemicals are delivered evenly and at the right pressure, helping you achieve effective weed and pest control.
What types of chemical spraying pumps are available?
Bushfire Store stocks two main types of pumps:
- 12 Volt Spraying Pumps: compact, easy to power from ATVs, UTVs, or small sprayers. These are great for spot spraying, smaller boom setups, or hobby farmers.
- Petrol Driven Spraying Pumps: powerful and suited to larger tanks and spraying jobs. Ideal for broadacre spraying, contractors, or anyone needing high output and extended use.
How do I choose the right spraying pump?
Consider:
- Tank Size: Larger tanks often require petrol driven pumps for reliable flow.
- Spray Type: Spot spraying is well supported with 12 volt pumps, while wide boom spraying benefits from the higher flow of petrol pumps.
- Workload: Occasional users may find 12 volt models sufficient, but frequent spraying across large properties usually calls for petrol powered options.
Can chemical spraying pumps handle different chemicals?
Yes. These pumps are designed for agricultural chemicals, including herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and liquid fertilisers. Always check compatibility with the chemical manufacturer and rinse pumps after use to extend service life.
