Valve for sprayer is a valve purposed to use in sprayers. Sprayers are the agricultural equipment used for applying liquid substances to plants. These substances could be fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides.

Based on the specification, type of field, the size of crops, and their requirements sprayers are of different types, like hand-operated sprayers, low-pressure sprayers, high-pressure sprayers, air carrier sprayers, and foggers.

Valves for sprayers are crucial parts of any sprayer's design. They allow users to maintain the correct operation of their hydraulic system. A user usually does that by manually controlling a valve with a handle attached to the stem. If the handle is turned ninety degrees, the valve is called a quarter-turn valve. Examples of those valves are butterfly, ball, and plug valves.

If the handle is circular with the stem as the axis of rotation in the center of the circle, then the handle is called a handwheel. Valves can also be controlled by actuators attached to the stem. There are three different types of actuators. They can be electromechanical, such as an electric motor or solenoid, pneumatic, which are controlled by air pressure, or hydraulic, controlled by the pressure of a liquid such as oil or water.


Pneumatic and hydraulic actuators need pressurized air or liquid lines: an inlet line and an outlet line. Valves used to achieve this are called pilot valves. They are used to control other valves. In some valves for sprayer designs, the pressure of the flowing fluid itself or the pressure difference of the flowing fluid between the ports automatically controls flow through the valve.

There are many different types of sprayers available on the market. Examples of the most general types include boom sprayer, boomless sprayer nozzle, mist sprayer, three-point hitch sprayer, truck-bed sprayer, towing sprayer, hitch sprayer, UTV sprayer, ATV sprayer, spot sprayer, and backpack sprayer.

Some of the manufacturers of sprayers are MANTIS-ULV, Agropa, TIMSPRAYER, AGROZENIT FARM EQUIPMENT, CLOOS & KRAUS, and SIMOL.
