What is the function of the sprayer agitator?

• A. Mixes components of spray mixture uniformly and keeps material in suspension
• B. Filters the spray mix
• C. Measures liquid level
• D. Regulates air intake

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the agitator keeps the spray mixture uniform and prevents materials from settling out. When you mix pesticides with water, some components can settle, separate, or clump together. The agitator uses blades or an impeller in the tank to continuously stir the liquid so every drop has the same concentration. This helps ensure the spray you apply is consistent in strength and coverage and reduces the chance of clogging filters or uneven results.

Filters clean the spray before it leaves the tank, so they’re not the function of the agitator. Measuring liquid level is done by gauges or sensors, not by stirring. Regulating air intake is part of the sprayer’s engine or ventilation system, not the mixing action inside the tank.
