AS 1200 spray blower now also features the CAS battery pack

The AS 1200 battery-powered spray blower is designed to be used as an attachment in conjunction with a sprayer from Birchmeier’s “Accu-Power” range. The manufacturer has now upgraded the spray blower to 36 volts by coupling two CAS (Cordless Alliance System) 18-volt battery packs that are attached side by side.

The powerful LiHD batteries, the voltage increase and extremely low-resource energy efficiency increase the battery-powered spray blower’s run time by approximately 50 per cent. What’s more, the highest blower level (the turbo level), which was previously limited to 30 seconds, can now be used permanently. As such, large ranges can be covered during the entire operating time.

Birchmeier has developed a handy 2-in-1 solution for attaching the battery packs: the unit containing the two battery packs can either be attached to the backpack sprayer or worn as a hip belt, for example when using wheelbarrow sprayers.

The spray blower optimises the application of pesticides and plant strengtheners, whether users are aiming to spray a specific area with pin-point accuracy or cover dense foliage, hedges or flat areas. The choice of different nozzle types and spray pressures enables users to make the right adjustments to suit the application in question. Using a low blower level results in a light airflow capable of moving leaves in close range, meaning that the droplets will land perfectly on the foliage and gently moisten both the upper and lower sides of each leaf. The blower power can be increased to hurricane level, the spray pressure can be adjusted and the nozzle type can potentially be changed for higher applications (up to 13 metres).

This new process enables users to penetrate their plants better and hence increase effectiveness. The process also saves spray solution because more of it lands on the plant, it is distributed better and less of it is lost when spraying. It prevents almost all unwanted spray drift.
