Cascade - Granular Chemical Applicators
Horstine Cascade utilises four hydraulically driven metering units and a high capacity fan to distribute solid fertilisers, chemicals and slug pellets. Outlets are located at one metre spacings along the vertically folding boom, with each outlet fed by its own individual rotor. Cascade offers the most accurate application of solid products over a 24m width, increasing product efficacy and widening the application window available to growers.
The Horstine Cascade is an extremely versatile applicator, allowing a range of seeds, chemicals and fertilisers to be applied in a variety of situations in widths of 12 to 24 metres.

Individual Metering
Horstine`s precision metering system provides extremely accurate application, with each product outlet being fed by its own individual rotor. This system of metering guarantees application accuracy across the full width of the implement.
Easy Setup & Calibration
Calibration of the AirStream is quick and simple. Remove the calibration cover, press the prime button until a quantity of fertiliser is collected in the tray (provided). Weigh the fertiliser an input this figure into the rate controller and calibration is complete.
Auto Rate Contro
The Horstine Wizard application controller comes fitted as standard and is used to compensate for changes in forward speed. Wizard also allows he application rate to be changed quickly, adjusting fertiliser rates to suit soil conditions (Variable Rate option available).
Pneumatic Delivery
AirStream uses a high capacity hydraulically driven fan to deliver fertiliser to the outlet, from low rates for inter row banding up to the high application rates required during placement on modern belt driven potato planters.
