ASC Rotary
Atomizers
 The ASC Rotary
Atomizer, originally developed by industry legend Mr. Cal
Butler, is now currently produced by the Curtis Agri-Line
Company in Westfield Indiana, and distributed in Canada
by us at Yorkton Aircraft.

Main Features:
- Superior coverage by accurate droplet control,
allowing reduction in chemical and carrier.
- Double shut off design provides instant chemical
flow cut-off reducing the possibility of over-spraying non
target area.
- Adjustable Droplet Size ranging from 50-800 microns
VMD
- Adjustable Flow Settings are easily done with the
Variable Output Restrictor giving you the convenience of
one of 6 flow settings (or shut off) without touching the
nozzle.
What are the advantages to this atomizer?
1. Price - the cost of the units is approximately 25% less than the competition and when you consider that for an aircraft set, it amounts to a considerable savings.
2. Greater capacity - the maximum flow per atomizer for an AU5000 is 25 L/min. An ASC can handle much higher volumes per unit. This means in certain cases, you need less units, meaning you spend less (a type of compound savings here!) The versatility to handle flow rates from ultra-low up to high volume increases their working potential for you. The present range of the ASC-A10 is 0.13 GPM, through to a range of 18GPM per nozzle depending on the aircraft plumbing system. (0-68 liters/minute)
3. Simplicity in use and construction - meaning less maintenance and fewer replacement parts. When parts are needed they are at lower cost. All this = even more SAVINGS!
4. Sustainability - made from corrosive resistant materials; the perforated sleeve is less vulnerable to damage than the competitor's gauze cage; blades are made from high strength graphite; the heavy duty sealed bearings are the best on the market, highly affordable and can be changed by the operator (no need to ship to the factory for replacement).
5. Aerodynamics-designed with a shape that lends itself to the least amount of drag; units are lightweight (4 lbs. including mounting bracket) yet structural integrity has not been compromised.
6. Increased Production-droplets of more even size allow the use of less chemical and less carrier. Superior coverage is produced, more production is possible. Win-win. Controlling both spectrum and size we gain better plant coverage and more effective chemical action.
ASC's ability to produce uniform
droplet sizes, whether uniformly large or uniformly small,
is giving this product line tremendous momentum.
