What is it?
The electrostatic sprayer is a cordless backpack that sprays cleaning product to sanitize large and small areas quickly.
What is its role on the farm?
The backpack is battery-powered, allowing personnel the mobility to disinfect storage areas and harvest equipment. It is designed to replace slow hand-wiping and heavy, corded machines. On the farm, the sprayer reduces the spread of foodborne illness bacteria through access to in crevices in packaging, washing, transporation, or storage in the post-harvest process. The sprayer overall helps save time on manual labor and uses less chemical sanitizer.
How does it work?
The device uses air pressure to turn liquid disinfectant into a fine mist of tiny droplets. As these droplets leave the sprayer, they receive an electric charge that turns them into tiny magnets. This charge causes the mist to actively jump toward surfaces and wrap entirely around objects, including crates, handles, and bins, coating the front, sides, and back by itself.
