The jet agitation system of the self-propelled sprayer is a configuration where one outlet of the sprayer's liquid pump is directly connected to the jet agitation device inside the tank. By utilizing the high-pressure water flow from the pump, the liquid in the tank is thoroughly agitated, ensuring a more uniform mixture. There are several essential conditions for jet agitation:
Some products in the market claim to have a jet agitation device, but in reality, they only have a return port of the pump: after the pump supplies the liquid to all spraying components and pipelines, the excess liquid returns to the tank through the one-way valve of the pump. The pressure is relatively low and the water flow is columnar, only capable of causing a circulation effect at the bottom of the tank.
On many advanced agricultural sprayers, especially large-scale equipment, a "combined agitation" solution is often adopted to achieve the best mixing effect and reliability, which is a combination of jet agitators and recirculation agitators. The jet agitator acts like a dedicated "powerful cleaner", specifically responsible for dealing with stubborn sediment; while the recirculation agitator is more like a "circulatory system", taking care of agitation, mixing and system safety. Understanding the differences between the two helps users better use and maintain the equipment based on the type of pesticide applied, the model of the sprayer and the operational requirements, ensuring the quality of pesticide application.
