Based in Berri, South Australia, Enviromist Industries is committed to the on-going development of safer, more reliable, cost effective and accurate spraying utilising Controlled Droplet Application technology.

Enviromist’s development of new spraying technology is based on objectives to lower the volume and cost of chemicals used, to lower the capital cost of equipment used, lower operating costs and to extend the application season allowing operators to spray during conditions which could otherwise be prohibitive.

The original concept of “covered spraying” for orchards and vineyards was initiated at South Australia’s Loxton Research Centre during the early 1980’s.

Enviromist Industries began in 1989 manufacturing a shrouded sprayer called the Spraymiser® - a light, robust, trailed sprayer for applying herbicide between rows in orchards and vineyards. The unique design of the Spraymiser® incorporated a variable speed Controlled Droplet Applicator (CDA) covered by a dome to prevent drift. The Spraymiser® won “The Land” Machine of the Year title and New Implement Award of Merit at the 1990 Australian National Field Days.

In 1992 Enviromist released the Undavina® - a circular, covered, vehicle mounted CDA sprayer designed for use in vineyards and orchards. The Undavina® won The Innovative Horticultural Award and New Implement Award of Merit at the 1992 Australian National Field Days.

The vehicle mounted Spraydome® 1000, released in 1993, is specifically designed for under vine or tree applications where the trunk or stem of the young plant has to be protected from herbicide contact. The Spraymiser® 1000 won “The Land” Machine of the Year title and New Implement Award of Merit at the 1993 Australian National Field Days.

Based on the earlier success of the Spraymiser®, subsequent generations of centre-row sprayers have been refined. The more compact and manoeuvrable Spraydome® 2000 was developed during 1996, followed by adjustable width versions early in 2000. These popular new designs are available in both towed and 3-point linkage configurations.

The popularity and success of Enviromist systems is confirmed by over 6000 customers world wide who have purchased sprayers over the years. Usage extends to vineyards, farms, orchards, plantations, golf courses, councils, parks, gardens, woods and forest groups and many others.

Enviromist has a national dealer network and a rapidly growing international market for its products. Enviromist Industries currently exports to USA, France, Canada, UK, Spain, Portugal, Chile, South Africa, Israel, Thailand, New Zealand and Argentina. As a consequence of our ongoing commitment to our expanding export markets, the company won a South Australian Export Award in 1997 and in 2000 a gold medal at Dionysud in France.

Common advantages of Enviromist’s technology reported by users include trouble free operation, significant savings in chemical, water, fuel, labour, capital cost of equipment, reduced soil compaction, more timely operations by being able to spray even when conventional sprayers cannot be used because of unfavourable weather conditions.
