The invention relates to a device and method for applying a spraying means using a portable spraying device.

A backpack sprayer system includes a mounting bracket having a battery receiving fixture. A first tank is mounted to the mounting bracket and holds a diluent. A second tank is mounted to the mounting bracket and holds a liquid concentrate. The second tank is selectively, individually removable from the mounting bracket. A mixing manifold is mounted to the mounting bracket and has a first inlet fitting to receive a fixed amount of diluent and a second inlet to receive an adjustable amount of liquid concentrate. The diluent and concentrate are combined to form a mixed solution with the mixing manifold including a mixed solution outlet. A positive displacement pump is mounted to the mounting bracket and has a suction port coupled to the mixed solution outlet and a pressure port coupled with a spray device. A control unit is mounted on the mounting bracket and receives power from the battery.

Improvements in an agricultural manual sprayer for preventing leakage of fluids such as insecticides, herbicides or fungicides that comprises tank with a large storage capacity into which a pressure vessel is installed. A manually activated pumping assembly is connected with the inferior section of the pressure vessel and also with the inferior section of the tank. The pumping assembly comprises a reciprocating piston pump for extracting the fluid from the storage tank and pressurizing it within the pressure vessel. The pressurized fluid is applied with a hose and a throttle valve attached to the pressure vessel. The assembly also comprises a double walled piston and barrier against leakage consisting of a ring with interior lips which seal it against the cylinder preventing the exit of fluid, forcing it to remain in the collection chamber until it is emptied with the downward movement of the piston, returning the liquid from the collection chamber to the storage tank through a return hose and internal ducts.

A system for micro spray backpacks is a reusable device which has at least one cartridge that contains at least one agrochemical element or another type of concentrate which is to be dispensed separately from the dilution, performing this task at the very moment at which its application is required. The device contemplates the adjustment in the concentration of the mix, as well as the change of the cartridges without spilling the solvent contained in the tank of the backpack. The cartridge prevents oxidation of the concentrate which is to be applied due to its being isolated, reducing economic and environmental costs. The device is designed for use in agricultural and industrial sectors.
