Ausplow M18000 Multistream Air Cart Available at RedMac Ag Services
22 Models, 1 Aim: Higher Yields.
The award-winning Multistream is available in 22 models in tow-between, tow-behind or drawbar configuration.
The Multistream is designed to deliver granular and liquid product and can be split as required. For example, with a 4 bin model, one of the tanks can be used for liquid nitrogen, one for herbicide, one for granular fertiliser and one for seed.
All tanks are designed for any product.
In operation, using the above example, liquid nitrogen can be deep banded behind the DBS digging blade, pre-emergent herbicides can be applied at the front of the seeding bar and granular fertiliser can be split to provide ‘starter fertiliser’ with the seed whilst deep banding the balance.
The distance from the seed liquid products applied can be altered depending on the type of fertiliser used. For example, trials have shown the desirable distance for dispensing liquid nitrogen is about 65mm from the seed.
The metering system is hydraulically controlled with manual override and each bin is equipped with an individual hydramotor.
In the case of liquid, a centrifugal pump is fitted concealed in a stainless steel casing. Liquid can run through two separate lines, each of which runs to non-drip nozzle bodies. Flow is controlled using friction induced back-pressure tubing effectively eliminates potential blockages by producing a solid delivery stream at the end of the tube and accurate product placement in the furrow.
A manifold is created on the DBS bar from which the friction induced back-pressure tubing are of equal lengths to control delivery rate.
Standard 5” or 6” coupler granular fittings are used to interface between the Multistream and DBS along with a camlock interface for delivering liquids.
A choice of Topcon X35, Raven, and ISOBUS are offered on all models.
Granular fertiliser and seed are dispensed in conventional fashion through polyurethane metering wheels and adjustable metering flaps into a single or double shoot designed air stream. The metering wheels are designed for low wear life and low maintenance.
The metering wheels are designed for low wear life and low maintenance.
The metering housing under the tanks is made from stainless steel and designed to make more efficient use of the air stream.
A high volume fan running at 4000 rpm is driven by a piston hydramotor. The fan inlet is supplied air which is heated by an oil radiator with an independent relief valve, enabling oil to be returned to the tractor.
Ausplow bench tested several types of fans before choosing the turbo fan and it has proven to be the most efficient design, reducing overall power requirements.
The heavy duty polyethylene tanks are mounted on a double box section chassis and boast Ausplow designed stainless steel lids for easy opening and quick locking. Polyethylene tanks display low surface friction properties and offer excellent product flow to metering bodies.
An electronically engaged 200mm (8”) swing away auger is fitted to models ranging from 6000 to 12000 litres. A 250mm (10”) fully hydraulic auger with stainless steel barrel and polycupped flytes are fitted to all models ranging from 14000 to 28000 Litres.
