Everything seems to suggest that the three terms in my translation are more or less the same and can all be translated as "sprayer". I will therefore be using this generic term, together with a literal translation of the word in question.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Don't think this can be it as the description in the catalogue includes a "cisterna" and a "pompa" and revers to drop size, which wouldn't be the case if it was "dust".
