Reliable Fire Control for Fire Breaks and Small Veld Fires
The 20L Knapsack Sprayer is a practical and affordable tool for managing fire risks in rural and agricultural environments. While originally designed for crop spraying, it has proven effective for fire breaks, spot fires, and early-stage veld fire suppression—when used together with fire beaters. Lightweight and easy to carry, it allows rapid response in areas where larger firefighting equipment may not be accessible.
✅ Key Features

- Manual Spray Pump: Efficient hand-operated pump for continuous water flow.
- Adjustable Nozzle: Suitable for mist or fan spray patterns.

🔥 Firefighting Use Case
This sprayer is ideal for:
