Adjustable air to suit your spraying
The HARDI AIR STREAM boom comes in 12, 15 and 18m widths and delivers increased spray opportunities, reduced drift, reduced chemical usage, more accurate placement, and faster spraying speeds - saving time, money and the environment.
Drift control
Weather dictates most everything a farmer does. Wind in particular can force a farmer to interrupt or postpone spraying due to drift.
The HYS AIR STREAM boom uses air streams to direct the spray to the target, reducing drift and increasing crop penetration and coverage. Less drift means more spraying days, higher application speeds and fewer filling stops. It also allows farmers to address pests and diseases as they appear rather than having to wait for calmer spraying days.
All in all, this will give the farmer higher spray capacity, real savings on water and plant protection products and a better environmental footprint.
Control drift with air
The HYS AIR STREAM boom is fitted with a blower unit and an inflatable air bag running the length of the boom. The air exits the bag through openings along its underside, creating forward-angled air streams, which hit the spray before it reaches the crop. The air distribution along the bag is very even, creating a curtain-like airflow that focuses the spray onto the crop.
The HYS AIR STREAM is available in two versions – a standard HYS driven by tractor hydraulics and an upgraded HYSZ operated by electro-hydraulics directly from the tractor cabin.
Both models offer boom lift, optional slant and flexible fold/tilt of the entire boom, one arm or outer sections – with or without air – for easy passage of obstacles in the field.
Two sprayers in one
TWIN gives the operator more options for spray control than other air-assisted sprayers. By adjusting the air curtain’s speed and angle, from no air to full air, in effect producing two sprayers in one, the operator can guide all droplets, irrespective of size, to the target.
Angling of the spray ranges from +/- 18 degrees, and the fan blower provides 1,500m3/h/m boom width at speeds up to 27m/s.
