What characterizes a blower type granular spreader?

A blower type granular spreader is characterized by its use of motor-generated air pressure to propel granules. This mechanism allows for a more uniform and controlled distribution of the granules over a given area. The air pressure effectively carries the granules from the hopper and spreads them out as the user moves across the treatment area. This method is particularly advantageous in terms of efficiency and coverage, especially when dealing with larger spaces or specific application patterns.

In contrast, other types of spreaders might rely on gravitational force, which limits their performance to sloped or flat surfaces and can lead to uneven distribution. Furthermore, while some spreaders may require manual effort, a blower type spreader typically incorporates a motorized system to minimize physical strain on the operator. Lastly, a blower type spreader is specifically designed for distributing granular materials, rather than being limited to liquid applications, making it versatile for various types of pest control products.
