Experienced summer residents know how hard it is sometimes to get rid of dangerous diseases and pests in a personal plot. In order to facilitate this work, you can use an industrial sprayer. Products of the Shtil brand have been very popular for many years.

Description of the device, features of sprayers Stihl

Sprayer "Shtil" is intended for the following gardening works:

  • processing trees and shrubs in order to destroy dangerous pests;
  • preventive treatment of crops from fungus and powdery mildew;
  • watering with a uniform distribution of liquid over the surface of the plant;
  • application of liquid fertilizers to the soil.

The technique of this brand is often used for spraying vineyards.

Sprayer "Calm"

The sprayer is very simple: a liquid for processing plants or a liquid fertilizer is poured into a plastic or metal tank equipped with a measuring scale. When the power is turned on (for electric, petrol, battery versions) or mechanical pressure is applied to the lever (manual version), the compressor starts working.

An increased pressure is created in the tank, and the liquid begins to flow from it into the atomizer, from which it enters the air in the form of a powerful stream, a weak jet or the smallest particles resembling fog (depending on the pressure that can be adjusted).

Types of sprayers Stihl

There are the following types of sprayers produced under the Shtil brand:

  • gasoline;
  • knapsack;
  • electrical;
  • rechargeable.

The gasoline sprayer "Calm" is easy to use, but it is quite expensive and often breaks down. He also consumes a lot of gasoline.

The electric model is more economical than the Stihl petrol sprayer, as it does not require liquid fuel and does not consume much electricity. However, the electrical model is inconvenient because it is "tied" to a wire. Therefore, if the plot is large and you need to process the plants at different ends of the garden, the electrical unit will be inconvenient to use. Better to purchase a rechargeable version. It is compact and can be easily carried from place to place.

Note! Some models come with spare batteries. This is very convenient as the batteries drain quickly when the device is running at full capacity.

The Stihl knapsack sprayer sprays liquid due to the mechanical action on the pump lever, which is why it is also called manual. Most models are equipped with shut-off and safety valves. Most often in stores you can find sprayers with a tank designed for 12 liters.

Garden sprayer "Shtil" can be used:

  • in the garden;
  • in the garden;
  • in a flower garden;
  • in parks and squares where there are green spaces that require processing.

Variety of models of sprayers "Calm"

The volume of the tank of the unit should be selected depending on the area of ​​the cultivated area and the number of plantings. If the area is small, it makes no sense to purchase a device with a large-capacity tank. Conversely, a small compact sprayer is not suitable for large farmland applications.

Advantages and disadvantages of Stihl sprayers

Gardening equipment "Shtil" has long been known to Russian gardeners and gardeners. This brand is really trusted. The Shtil brand garden sprayer has many advantages over other industrial spray gun options. Among the obvious advantages are the following:

  • good quality metal and plastic used for the manufacture of the device;
  • a large number of additional accessories included in the kit;
  • fast and high-quality distribution of liquid, its deep penetration into the soil;
  • the possibility of high-quality irrigation under strong pressure without erosion of the root system.

However, this device also has disadvantages. Gardeners who often use this brand of sprayers say:

  • If the device breaks down, finding spare parts for it and fixing the sprayer at home with your own hands is quite difficult.
  • For spray guns with a plastic reservoir, the tank fails quite quickly.
  • When using hand sprayers, sometimes you have to push the lever with force to increase the pressure, which can subsequently lead to the failure of the lever.
  • The liquid that is poured into the tank must have a temperature of up to 30 degrees. In this regard, the Stihl spray gun is not suitable for applying fertilizers that must be diluted in hot water.

Important! Unlike other brands (for example, from the well-known Beetle), the Shtil sprayer has special seals made of especially durable material, so it can be used to spray aggressive chemicals, including powerful poisons to destroy the Colorado potato beetle.
