Air Carts

What is Air Delivery?

Air delivery helps you place seed, fertiliser and other products simply and precisely.

A basic air delivery system consists of an air cart, a series of hoses that form an air distribution system, and a seeding tool. The air cart directs the right amount of air and product into the distribution system, which in turn carries product to the seeding tool.

Three Separate Systems

With a Flexi-Coil air cart, you are not limited to one distribution system. Up to three separate systems can be placed on the seeding tool. With one system you can single-shoot. With two, you can single, or double-shoot. With three systems, you can single, double or triple-shoot.

  • Single-Shoot - mixes one or more products together in a single distribution system, with application in one location. Most common are the application of seed alone or the application of a mixture of seed and fertiliser. The application and blending of two fertilisers while banding is also single-shoot.

  • Double-Shoot - applies products separately in two locations, by adding a second distribution system. A common double-shoot system applies seed while placing fertiliser below and to the side of the seed row.

  • Triple-Shoot - adds a third distribution system, msking it possible to apply three products in a single pass. This set up requires an air cart with three tanks, such as the Flexi-Coil 3850 or 4350.
