Key Features

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 from each outlet.

Easy Setup & Calibration

Calibration is a quick and simple process. Simply move the outlet manifold and fit the supplied calibration tray, press the prime button until a quantity of product is collected in the tray. Weigh and input this figure into the rate controller and calibration is complete.

Auto Rate Control

Microband Air utilises the Horstine Wizard automatic rate control system. Allowing easy calibration, simple rate changes, along with low level monitoring and headland shut off to guarantee absolute accuracy of nematicide application.

Pneumatic Delivery

Microband Air uses a high capacity electrically driven fan to deliver product to the outlet, mounted in the planter openers. The use of a pneumatic fan allows the hopper to be mounted low down on the planter for easy, safe filling.
