Description
Handheld backpack foggers struggle to lift dense chemical droplets into thick orchard canopies and tall hedge lines. The Makita 40V max XGT Brushless 4 Gallon Backpack Mist Blower 8Ah Kit atomizes liquid treatments across large outdoor zones using powerful air velocity. It projects mist plumes up to 40 feet. Extended spraying runs drain high-capacity battery packs fast.
A high-output brushless motor turns an engineered glass-fiber-reinforced polymer impeller to generate hurricane-force air volume inside an ABS resin blower housing. Chemical passages utilize fluoropolymer tubing and stainless steel metering valves that withstand corrosive agricultural pesticides, fungicides, and mosquito control formulations. The heavy backpack chassis features molded polypropylene with closed-cell foam shoulder harnesses that reject chemical absorption.
High Velocity Mist Application Matrix
Air-shear atomization breaks liquids into microscopic droplets that wrap around leaf surfaces rather than dripping onto bare soil. Operators tune spray delivery on the fly using the multi-stage control handle.
- 40V max XGT brushless drive motor spins the blower fan up to 24000 RPM for maximum air volume.
- Four-gallon chemical solution tank includes deep liter volume markers and a wide mesh sediment strainer basket.
- Multi-position solution flow control knob adjusts chemical output from 0.05 GPM up to 0.42 GPM.
- Long-range air nozzle projects fine droplet clouds 40 feet horizontally into dense brush.
- Cruise control lever locks air speed settings to reduce operator hand strain during long treatments.
- Comfortable padded harness incorporates breathable air channels to disperse torso heat during summer work.
- Dual battery dock automatically switches to a second pack to double uninterrupted jobsite spray time.
Airflow Bench Telemetry Thermal Profile
The brushless drive pulls 38 Amps from the 8.0 Ah battery at full throttle, generating 495 CFM air volume at 142 MPH. Continuous high-volume fogging increases motor core temperature by 24°F over a single tank discharge cycle. Fluid flow holds steady at 0.38 GPM with zero line surge. Sound output registers 78 dBA at 50 feet under maximum air discharge velocity.
Mosquito Mitigation Bounds Field Care
Commercial pest control operators, municipal groundskeepers, and greenhouse managers eliminate flying insects and foliage disease with this mist blower. Do not purchase this mist blower for painting applications or spraying acid-based industrial masonry cleaners. Never operate the machine with an empty liquid tank while the solution valve remains open.
- Rinse the chemical tank with fresh water and flush the spray lines after every application cycle.
- Clean the air intake fan screen of leaves and clothing lint before starting each shift.
- Store 40 Volt battery packs in climate-controlled lockers away from damp chemical storage sheds.
