Abstract

A method and apparatus for applying liquid droplets to a particulate material (29), includes an axially rotatable disc shaped device (20) to spray droplets of liquid in a generally outward manner. The device also includes means for supplying particulate material (28), in a generally separated manner past a disc shaped device (20). As the particulate material (29) passes the spraying droplets, droplets become applied to the particulate material (29). The device is particularly useful for the application of herbicides, fungicides, fertilisers etc.

Claims (18)

1. An apparatus for applying liquid droplets to a particulate material, said device including:
an axially rotatably disc-shaped device to which a liquid is adapted to be supplied, such that, as said device is rotated, said droplets of said liquid are sprayed generally outwardly therefrom;
means for supplying said particulate material, in a generally separated manner, past said disc-shaped device in a direction generally transverse to that in which said liquid is sprayed, such that said droplets become applied to said particulate material.
2. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said disc-shaped device is a substantially solid disc device, optionally including etched grooves, or similar, in an upper surface thereof.
3. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein said disc-shaped device includes a plurality of fibres extending substantially outwardly from an axial portion of said disc-shaped device.
4. An apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein the density of said fibres increases progressively from a first side of said disc to a second side thereof, wherein, in use, some of said liquid is dispersed from the fibres adjacent said first side, and the remainder of said liquid is progressively dispersed by the fibres adjacent the second side of said disc.
5. An apparatus as claimed in claim 4, wherein said second side of said device is provided with a heavy concentration of said fibres such that it is substantially impervious to said liquid.
6. An apparatus as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein said disc-shaped device is rotated by an electric motor.
7. An apparatus as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 6, further including:
a housing, within which said disc-shaped device is provided substantially centrally, wherein said particulate material ingresses through a first end of said housing and egresses through a second end of said housing.
8. An apparatus as claimed in claim 7, further including:
a separator means provided upstream relative to said disc-shaped device, to separate said particulate material supplied via said first end of said housing.
9. An apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein said separator means is embodied as a plate-like device.
10. An apparatus as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 10, wherein the axis of said disc-shaped device is substantially vertical, and, said particulate material falls past said disc-shaped device by gravitational forces.
11. An apparatus as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 11, wherein said liquid is supplied from a container to said disc-shaped device by gravitational forces, by utilising a hand operated pumping devices, under pressurisation provided within said container, and/or via an electric, mechanical or hydraulic pumping device or the like.
12. An apparatus as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 11, wherein said apparatus is supplied intermediate a delivery system and a storage container.
13. An apparatus as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 11, wherein said apparatus is portable.
14. An apparatus as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 13, wherein said liquid is an insecticide, fungicide, fertiliser, a biological inoculant, or like liquid.
15. An apparatus as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 14, wherein said particulate material is seed, grain, or like particulate material.
16. A method of applying liquid droplets to a particulate material, including the steps of:
supplying said particulate material to fall in a generally separated manner;
spraying liquid droplets from a rotating disc-shaped device provided intermediate of said falling particulate material, such that said droplets become applied to said particulate material.
17. An apparatus for applying liquid droplets to a particulate material, substantially as herein described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
18. A method of applying liquid droplets to a particulate material, substantially as herein described.
