The SAM 2500 Lowline Airstream Sprayer provides the user with the
choice of air assisted or conventional spraying. Equipped with
a12/18/24 metre boom as standard, it is the only machine to offer air
assisted spraying at three working widths. The Sam Airstream can
produce exit air velocity from the fan of 40 metres per second or 144
kilometres per hour. By using an angled air outlet the system
produces "crop tilt" to ensure excellent penetration of the most
difficult crop canopy. Nozzle spacings of one quarter of a metre
ensure accurate droplet placement and an air pressure gauge fitted as
standard takes the guesswork out of pre-setting. Power for the
Airstream is provided by a Deutz 159hp engine allowing 52hp to drive
the Airstream system without compromising the machine's overall
performance. By using a closed loop hydraulic fan drive with an
integral cooler there is zero hydraulic demand during conventional
spraying. The Sam Airstream addresses the two areas users of other
systems have expressed concerns about, namely, not enough power and
not enough air pressure. All this has been achieved without affecting
any of the machine's normal capabilities, proven over thousands of
acres quite simply it is the ultimate air assisted sprayer available
in the world today.
