Horstine AirStream - Pneumatic Fertiliser Applicator
Horstine AirStream uses hydraulically driven metering and a high capacity fan to distribute solid fertiliser. Outlets can be specified to broadcast, band apply or place fertilisers on, or in combination with a wide variety of implements. Utilising our Horstine Individual Metering System AirStream can precisely apply inexpensive grades of solid fertiliser across the machines working width, reducing input costs whilst maximising yield potential.
AirStream is a versatile applicator that can be used to apply granular and bulk fertilisers in a variety of scenarios. Here are some of the situations AirStream has been utilised:
- Placement during potato planting
- Bed top application ahead of potato/vegetable establishment
- Broadcast applications
- Banding during cereal/OSR establishment
- Placement on vegetable module planters
- Inter-row banding on established vegetable crops

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.
