The invention relates to automated devices for pro¬ducing aerosols of liquid disinfectants and for spraying same. A mo¬bile hygiene unit comprises a housing (1) containing a disinfectant spraying unit (2) with a spraying nozzle (3), a tank (4) containing disinfectant, a compressor (5), and a control unit (6). It further com¬prises a mechanism for regulating the droplet size distribution of the aerosol, including a pump (7), an electromagnetic valve (8), and a dosing nozzle (9) with an internal cylinder. The disinfectant spraying unit (2) comprises a shaped nozzle (3) having a nozzle head (10) of axisymmetric cross-section attached thereto, and a mixing chamber (11) for mixing disinfectant with compressed air, having two thread¬ed inlets for a pneumatic line (12) and a hydraulic line (13), said inlets being arranged at an angle of 180°. The dosing nozzle (9) contains an internal cylinder and a rod with a threaded tip. The mobile hygiene unit generates an aerosol in four droplet size distribution modes: dry fog (from 3.5 to 10 pm), wet fog (from 10 to 30 pm), mist (from 30 to 50 pm), and spray (from 50 to 100 pm). The invention allows highly precise regulation of the droplet size distribution of the aerosol in each mode without the need to change the spraying nozzle.

A mobile spray manifold assembly has a frame and at least one attachment arm secured to and extending from the frame and configured to removably mount to a vehicle for movement and maneuvering of the mobile spray assembly. A spray manifold is removably secured to, and supported by, the frame and has a plurality of spray nozzles mounted thereto and configured to spray a substance onto an underlying surface. A distribution manifold has an inlet and a plurality of outlets fluidly connected with the plurality of spray nozzles in parallel. A valve system is positioned upstream of the distribution manifold and fluidly connected with the inlet of the distribution manifold. The valve system includes a first flow control valve configured for fluid connection with a first substance containing container and a second flow control valve configured for fluid connection with a second substance containing container.

A sprayer includes a spray gun and a hopper. An air source provides compressed air to the sprayer to both eject fluid from the spray gun as a spray and to pressurize the hopper. The spray gun includes passages for providing compressed air to the nozzle for spraying and to the hopper for pressurizing the hopper. The spray gun further includes a relief valve for venting pressurized air from the hopper. The hopper receives the compressed air through a port in the hopper, and the compressed air assists the flow of material out of the hopper and into the spray gun.

A treatment system for spraying treatment fluid onto plants in a field is described. The treatment system includes a highly configurable treatment mechanism including an array of nozzles and valve assemblies coupled into manifolds, and manifold assemblies. The manifolds of the manifold assemblies can be oriented in an open state or a nested state, the open state with no overlap between nozzles of adjacent manifolds and the nested state with overlap between nozzles of adjacent manifolds. The manifolds can have multiple configurations, examples of which include a tube manifold and an offset manifold. The nozzles of the system can have multiple configurations, examples of which include a tri-spray nozzle, a bar nozzle, a fan nozzle, and a deflected fan nozzle. The system can be controlled by a system controller which detects plant material and instructs a nozzle or combination of nozzles to spray treatment fluid.

A sanitizing spray system includes a Nitrogen generation system that produces Nitrogen used as a carrier gas source for spraying an alcohol-based disinfecting and sanitizing composition without flashing.
