Knapsack know-how on show
Knapsack, hand-held and compression sprayer manufacturer Berthoud’s Vermorel range offers professional operators the perfect tools to deliver safe, controlled, efficient spraying.
The three premium knapsack models, featuring on the Hozelock-Exel stand F125 at Saltex, share common features to heighten comfort, ease maintenance and upkeep and ensure reliable, directional spray accuracy.
The Vermorel 2000 Pro Comfort comes with fully specified padded harness, 0.6m highly mechanically and chemically resistant composite lance and 15/10 plate swirl, blue flat fan and blue anvil multi-purpose adjustable nozzles.
“This really is a great sprayer,” notes Hozelock-Exel UK National Account Manager Allan Wainwright, “and is fully-equipped to provide rock-steady reliability. I use it on my own lawn.”
Meanwhile, the Vermorel 1800, like the ‘2000’, offers ergonomic back frame and padded shoulder harness and 0.6m composite lance, plus 15/10 swirl nozzle.
Meeting rising demand for greener spray strategies, the Vermorel 3000 Electric includes a host of features to ensure grounds professionals work in optimal comfort, safety and convenience.
Fitted with 12V lithium ion battery and working to a 2.5hr charging cycle, the `3000` comes with fully specified harness, complete with waist, chest and shoulder padding.
The traffic light battery charge level indicator gives ample notice for operators to schedule work, while the three pressure settings (1, 1.5 and 3 Bar) allow three to six-hour spray sessions.
With telescopic (0.6 to 1m) composite lance as standard, the `3000` is available with cone 15/10, blue flat fan and brown anvil nozzles to cover a spread of spray applications.
All Vermorel knapsacks are easy to use and to dismantle for servicing and repair. They are ideally suited for applying sanitisers and disinfectants and are available with a host of accessories such as spray shields, seal and nozzle kits and multi-nozzle spray booms to give operators even greater flexibility.
Service excellence is a keystone of the Hozelock-Exel sprayer ranges. “Both Berthoud and sister brand Cooper-Pegler sprayers are built to giving lasting satisfaction,” Allan says, “and are backed by next-day replacement parts and accessories delivery.
“We strongly recommend though that operators thoroughly test their new sprayers with water before filling them with treatment liquids, just to ensure everything is fully operational,” he adds.
