Cannon Volute ®

Our latest volute design is built with a longer lasting 4-nozzle polyurethane construction that will not rust or dent, creates a better spraying pattern, provides greater atomization, enhances the distance that spray droplets are able to cover, and creates more CFM's of air than a horizontal volute.

Mist Spraying Versus Hydraulic or Dilute Spraying

Dilute or hydraulic spraying patterns (below left) produce large spray droplets
which run off crops, wasting water and chemical. Mist spraying (below right
will give you better distribution of small spray droplets which produce better
penetration and coverage while using less chemical, water and time.
