Description

The vehicle-mounted ULV1400 model is a versatile and combined spraying machine that provides effective control in four different application areas. It has the capability to perform garden spraying (high-volume spraying) for residual effect applications as well as cold fogging (low-volume spraying) for contact effect applications.

This model has a single 100-liter spray tank made of stainless steel. The ULV and sprayer systems cannot be separated, they share the same formulation tank. Cold fogging is carried out by filling the tank with insecticide for winged insects. Once the tank is emptied, residual-effect insecticide can be added to use the sprayer function. The shared tank design takes up less space in the vehicle compared to other sprayer-equipped devices.

The ULV and sprayer motors are both USA-made Vanguard-Briggs Stratton, considered the highest quality. The sprayer pump is an Italian-made Comet. The sprayer pressure regulator is also an Italian-made Comet. The electric valves for opening and closing pesticide flow are Italian-made CEME. In short, all components used on the machine are selected from the highest quality brands.

✅ Spraying at 15 µm (cold fogging) and 30 µm ULV water-based with the nozzle for open-area control of flying insects like mosquitoes and houseflies.
✅ Spraying at 55 µm in parks and gardens (by increasing flow rate) to extend fall time for controlling ticks and similar crawling pests in grass.
✅ Using the 50-meter hose and spray gun to reach difficult areas and apply residual-effect pesticides in garbage containers.
✅ Suitable for slaughterhouses, rived beds, treatment plants, building entrances and interiors, water puddles with larvae, animal shelters, livestock facilities, and waste collection areas.
It is a multifunctional spraying machine, designed to perform all these applications with ease.

The ULV1400 model can operate according to four spraying criteria: Cold Fogging (0–30 µm), ULV (30–50 µm), Mist (50–100 µm), and Garden Sprayer (100–300 µm). This all-in-one spraying machine is ideal for a variety of pest control tasks: it combats winged insects like mosquitoes, houseflies, and midges with its ULV nozzle; targets ticks in parks and gardens using a 50-meter hose and spray gun; and applies Agita residual-effect chemicals in slaughterhouses, animal shelters, or waste areas, providing up to 60 days of effectiveness.

Spraying must be done with droplet sizes suitable to the size of the target pest. For mosquito control, the World Health Organization (WHO) criterion is a maximum droplet size of 20 µm. For houseflies, it is 30 µm, and for ticks and larvae, larger droplet sizes are needed.

Advantages:
✔ Equipped with one main regulator to control flow rate and droplet size for all four nozzles, plus four independent sub-regulators for each nozzle. This allows setting all droplet sizes at once via the main regulator or setting each nozzle to a different droplet size. For example, two right-side nozzles can be set to 30 µm for housefly control, and two left-side nozzles to 20 µm for mosquito control. This enables simultaneous control of different pests, saving time and pesticide.
✔ Nozzles can be manually adjusted to any position, with 360° horizontal and 360° vertical rotation. All nozzles can rotate simultaneously from the base, or each nozzle can rotate independently. This allows wider coverage and better contact with pests for increased efficiency.
✔ Equipped with a Roots-type blower, which is a two-lobe positive displacement pump. These blowers are the most durable and high-performance for vehicle-mounted ULV devices, capable of spraying at the smallest droplet sizes. Centrifugal pumps may break, and electric vacuum motors used in some devices can burn out or deform quickly. For lowest failure risk and highest performance, a Roots-type blower is recommended.
✔ 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects, plus 10 years of spare parts availability.
✔ Chassis dimensions fit all double-cabin vehicles.
✔ Licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
✔ Optional two-nozzle configuration available.

Frequently Asked Questions ;

What should be considered when purchasing a spraying machine?

When purchasing a spraying machine, the primary criterion is the uninterrupted continuation of periodic spraying activities. For example, mosquito control is generally carried out in 8-day cycles, and during this period, daily spraying must be done regularly considering the larval stage. Since the exact timing of larval deposition from previous mosquitoes cannot be known, the entire population is controlled by daily spraying for the first 8 days. Then, control is maintained with repeated periodic spraying every 8 days. This approach ensures significant savings in biocidal chemical consumption, effectively controlling the entire population.

However, if the spraying machine frequently breaks down, this routine is disrupted, and spraying activities must be restarted daily from scratch. This causes significant losses in both time and chemical costs.

Therefore, when choosing a spraying machine, instead of focusing solely on price-performance ratio; robust, durable, low-risk of break, simple, and purpose-appropriate machines should be preferred. Additionally, purchasing from manufacturers with a proven track record of easily and promptly supplying spare parts and providing after-sales support will be far more efficient in the long run.

In biocidal control, spraying machines are typically purchased once and used for about 10 years. However, biocidal chemicals must be regularly supplied every season for many years. Therefore, the correct equipment choice directly impacts chemical costs in the long term. To save on chemical use and conduct effective control, machines that can spray chemicals at the micron size most suitable for the target pest, have minimal risk of breakdown, and are made with quality components should be preferred. Such machines provide significant savings in labor, time, and chemical consumption, yielding successful biocidal control results in the long term.

What should be the droplet size according to the target pest?

For the control of small flying insects like mosquitoes, the World Health Organization (WHO) has set a standard that the diameter of particles sprayed using the cold fogging method should be at most 20 microns (µm). The main purpose of this approach is to prolong the suspension time of sprayed droplets in the air, to increase their drift distance, and enhance the likelihood of effective biocidal particles reaching the target pests through contact.

For controlling black flies and other medium-sized insects, the WHO recommends using droplets of 30 microns (µm) in diameter via the ultra-low volume (ULV) spraying method. This method ensures the appropriate dosage of insecticide reaching the target flies effectively and eliminating medium size insects.

In the case of large pests such as locusts, ticks, and stink bugs, sprayed particle diameters should range between 50-100 microns (µm) using the Mist Blower method. This allows the application of biocidal chemicals in sufficient doses by matching the droplet size to the pest’s physical size, producing effective results. There are two main reasons for preferring droplet sizes of 50-100 microns (µm) in Mist Blower applications:

✔ Larger droplets are needed to effectively neutralize larger sized insects,
✔ In contact or systemic based spraying activity, to prevent the excessive drift of droplets in the wind. With Mist Blower method, insecticide can travel up to approximately 30 meters and settles within 90 seconds; reaching the ground as large droplets. Thus, even if a month passes after application, insects consuming insecticide residues on the ground are eliminated through residual effects.

This method is ideal for source control of large pests such as larvae, ticks, and cockroaches found in parks, gardens, garbage areas, water channels, and residential surroundings.

For the control of larvae, bacteria, and parasites, the Garden Sprayer method, which uses droplet sizes between 100-300 microns (µm), and systemic (residual) insecticides should be preferred. The machine is equipped with a 50-meter hose gun, allowing both short and long-range spraying. This enables effective spraying and disinfection applications in various areas and conditions. When the garden sprayer mode is activated, sprayed droplet diameters range between 100 and 300 microns. This feature offers a wide application scope, from systemic fly control in slaughterhouses to larval control in water paddles. It is also successfully used in disinfecting animal habitats from viruses and parasites, and effectively sanitizing garbage containers.

For successful and effective biocidal control, selecting appropriate particle sizes according to the pest species and strictly adhering to the application criteria set by the World Health Organization is essential. The WHO guide titled “A practitioner’s guide” provides detailed spraying criteria. Consulting expert specialists also contributes to successful biocidal control.

Incorrect micron sizes and non-compliant applications lead to failure in pest control, unnecessary loss of time, and wasted chemicals.

How should biocidal control be conducted?

Wind direction, wind speed, air temperature, high pressure, low pressure, and other atmospheric conditions directly affect spraying activities. In this context, detailed spraying criteria can be found in the World Health Organization (WHO) guide titled “A practitioner’s guide.” Additionally, consulting expert specialists in the field will ensure successful biocidal control.

What is the criterion for cold fogging?

The cold fogging method is defined by the World Health Organization with a droplet size range of 0-30 microns (µm). In this method, the chemical substance in liquid form is sprayed as droplets sized 0-30 microns (µm). It is called “cold” because the process involves spraying as fog without using heat, by exposing the liquid to high air flow through a vortical type nozzle.

What is the ULV criterion?

The U.L.V. (Ultra Low Volume) method is defined by the World Health Organization with a droplet size range of 30-50 microns (µm). In this method, the chemical substance in liquid form is sprayed as droplets sized 30-50 microns (µm). The liquid is sprayed at low volume without using heat, by exposing it to high air flow through a vortical type nozzle. The term Ultra Low Volume has been adopted in the literature as “low volume spraying.”

What is the Mist Blower criterion?

The Mist Blower method is defined by the World Health Organization with a droplet size range of 50-100 microns (µm). In this method, the chemical substance in liquid form is sprayed as droplets sized 50-100 microns (µm). The liquid is sprayed at high volume without using heat. The term Mist Blower has been adopted in the literature as “high volume spraying.”

What is the Garden Sprayer criterion?

The Garden Sprayer method is defined by the World Health Organization with a droplet size range of 100-300 microns (µm). In this method, the chemical substance in liquid form is sprayed as droplets sized 100-300 microns (µm). The liquid is sprayed at high volume without using heat. The term Garden Sprayer has been adopted in the literature as “handgun spraying.”

What is the Thermal Fogging criterion?

The Thermal Fogging method is defined by the World Health Organization with a droplet size range of 1-100 microns (µm). In this method, the chemical substance in liquid form is sprayed as droplets sized 1-100 microns (µm). The liquid chemical is vaporized at a high temperature (400°C) and then sprayed as a dense fog (aerosol) cloud when it comes into contact with cold air. The sprayed particles are not transparent like in water-based spraying but appear as dense white smoke. The thermal fogging method does not burn the chemical or reduce its effectiveness. On the contrary, it provides an application that is 12 times more effective and efficient compared to water-based spraying. But because it obstructs visibility in traffic, its use on highways requires permission from local authorities. However, it is not subject to permission in private properties, rural areas, and residential neighborhoods. The term Thermal Fogging is known in the literature as “oil-based spraying.”
