ULV Aerosolgeneratoren

Special equipment for professionals

ULV is the definition as the ultra low volume application rate per unit area/space which guarantees economical pest control.

 

Why ULV-Application?

The aim is to keep the application rate as low as possible and thereby diminish both the cost of the total quantity applied as well as the actual treatment time.

The chemical preparation is conducted to the spray head where a powerful blast of air from a blower breaks up the chemical substance into minute droplets. On its way to the spray head, the solution passes through a flow meter or dosage nozzle to ensure a constant application rate and produce droplets of uniform size. This shortens the treatment time and reduces the quantity of active agent applied, thereby achieving the highest standards of efficiency and optimum coverage.

 

Example:

  • 1 ml liquid at 20 Micrometer droplet size = 239 Mio. droplets
  • 1 ml liquid at 100 Micronmeter droplet size = 1,91 Mio droplets

 

That means that a certain application rate applied by the ULV method produces more droplets compared to the traditional spraying or LV (low volume) method. The smaller the droplet size, the more droplets are produced, ensuring an effective coverage of the target area.
