Quick & Simple Rate Changes
Streambar MR features an integrated multi-rate metering system to alter application rate. Instead of removing the bar and changing a colour coded restrictor, rates are changed by adjusting the sliding metering mechanism. Six different restrictor options offer a wide range of application rates from 100 to 1500 L/ha
Not only does the Multi Rate system save the expense of purchasing different restrictors but it also offers large practical benefits. The operator is not exposed to fertiliser when changing restrictors as the metering unit is completely sealed. Rate change can be achieved quickly as the Streambars can be left on the boom and no spare restrictors need to be carried with the sprayer.
Even application with Minimised Crop Scorch
Uniform flow across the Streambar MR is crucial to ensure even application especially on sloping ground. Once liquid has passed through the Multi Rate metering system each of the four ports are fed independently to ensure even application.
Because the pressure at each outlet is low, the stream of liquid produced contains only large heavy fertiliser droplets. These large droplets created by the Streambar MR ensure that fertiliser rolls off the crop onto the ground minimising the risk of crop scorch.
Unaffected By Boom Height
Unlike fertiliser caps Streambar MR creates vertical streams of liquid fertiliser. This means that the application pattern is consistent regardless of boom height. On breezy days when a normal fertiliser cap could not be used a Streambar MR can extend the sprayers working window. The boom can be dropped to just above the crop minimising spray disruption but without compromising spray pattern.
Versatile Fitment & Full Serviceability
Streambar MR is available with a variety of nozzle caps and can be fitted directly to a wide range of sprayers. The compact design and LinkSystem ensure alignment reduces the chance of breakage if the boom comes in contact with the crop or ground. Manufactured from UV-resistant ASA with stainless steel fixings Streambars are highly durable with a long working life.
The Streambar MR metering system is protected by a durable environmental seal, and unlike many other types of dribble bar, the metering system itself is fully serviceable. With only one moving part and three O-rings, the unit can easily be refurbished. Service kits, including sufficient parts to repair five Streambars, are available through your local distributor.
