RAUCH pneumatic spreaders – precision reimagined
With its pneumatic spreaders, RAUCH Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH offers a solution for farms that demand the highest standards of accuracy in fertiliser application. Unlike conventional systems, the fertiliser is not thrown out, but is transported precisely to the individual outlets via air currents. This results in a particularly accurate and uniform spread pattern – regardless of external influences.
Whilst disc spreaders such as the AXIS fertiliser spreader excel over large areas, pneumatic spreaders are primarily used where precision is crucial. The difference is particularly evident when dealing with specialist crops or in sensitive application areas.
AERO pneumatic spreader with fan drive
For the pneumatic spreaders in the AERO series, RAUCH Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH relies on a powerful blower drive that enables precise conveyance and distribution of fertiliser via air currents. The system ensures that every grain is placed exactly at the desired drop point, regardless of external influences.
The AERO pneumatic spreaders impress with their high metering accuracy and uniform distribution across the entire working width. Through targeted conveyance via air ducts, the fertiliser is actively transported, virtually eliminating the effects of factors such as wind or varying fertiliser properties.
Equipped with modern metering technology and intelligent control systems, the pneumatic spreaders can be optimally adapted to different operating conditions. In combination with digital solutions such as ISOBUS in agriculture or site-specific application, even more efficient and resource-saving fertilisation is made possible.

Fertilise more efficiently – use resources in a targeted manner
The growing demands for cost-effectiveness and sustainability make precise fertilisation increasingly important. Pneumatic spreaders play a crucial role here, as they enable accurate metering and targeted application.
The targeted application of nutrients not only reduces costs but also makes it easier to comply with environmental regulations. This technology offers clear advantages, particularly in regions with strict regulations.
When combined with digital solutions, such as those used in modern ISOBUS-compatible agricultural machinery, a future-proof integrated system is created.
Pneumatic spreader – Designed for specialist applications
Pneumatic spreaders are the ideal choice for farms with specific fertilisation requirements. This includes not only specialist crops but also farms with varied land layouts or changing operating conditions.
Whilst conventional spreading techniques often reach their limits, pneumatic spreading allows for precise adaptation to any situation. This makes them particularly attractive for specialist arable farms and contractors.
On the other hand, those looking to work large areas efficiently will find RAUCH’s disc spreaders, such as the AXIS M and AXIS H, to be a high-performance alternative.
When is a pneumatic spreader the right choice?
A pneumatic spreader – also known as a boom spreader – is the right choice when uniform and precise fertiliser application is required, regardless of external factors. Unlike twin-disc spreaders, the fertiliser is distributed precisely via outlet points along a boom. Systems such as the AERO or AERO GT demonstrate just how precisely this technology can be used, even over large working widths.
When is a pneumatic spreader better than a twin-disc spreader?
A pneumatic spreader is superior when wind, inconsistent fertiliser quality or high precision requirements come into play. Whilst twin-disc spreaders are heavily dependent on flight characteristics, a pneumatic spreader operates much more consistently.
For which applications is a pneumatic spreader particularly suitable?
Pneumatic spreaders are particularly suitable for large working widths, precise fertilisation and demanding applications. Models such as the AERO GT are specifically designed for high area coverage and modern farming practices.
What are the advantages of a pneumatic spreader when dealing with difficult fertilisers?
Even fertilisers with uneven particle sizes or poor flow properties can be applied reliably. Pneumatic systems such as those on the AERO operate independently of the fertiliser’s flow characteristics.
Frequently asked questions about pneumatic spreaders
Why is a pneumatic spreader less susceptible to wind?
As the fertiliser is not thrown but deposited precisely, wind has significantly less influence on distribution than with a twin-disc spreader.
Can I use fertiliser more efficiently with a pneumatic spreader?
Yes, the even application ensures that fertiliser is distributed more precisely. Systems such as the AERO enable low-loss application and can therefore help to use fertiliser more efficiently.
Is a pneumatic spreader suitable for undersowing or seed?
Yes, thanks to the even distribution across multiple outlets, the system is also very well suited for undersowing or fine seeds.
Is a pneumatic spreader more accurate than a twin-disc spreader?
A pneumatic spreader enables very precise distribution across the entire working width, regardless of external factors such as wind or fertiliser quality.
Pneumatic spreader or twin-disc spreader – which is better?
The choice between a pneumatic spreader and a twin-disc spreader depends primarily on the requirements for precision, operating conditions and budget. The two systems differ significantly in terms of how they work and their areas of application.
Is a pneumatic spreader more expensive than a twin-disc spreader?
Yes, pneumatic spreaders are generally more expensive to purchase. However, they offer greater precision and additional applications.
When is a pneumatic spreader economically viable?
The investment is worthwhile if precise application, difficult fertilisers or large working widths are a factor. Costs can also be saved through more efficient use of the fertiliser.
When is a twin-disc spreader the better choice?
A twin-disc spreader is a sensible choice when standard fertilisers are being applied under good conditions and a simple, cost-effective solution is sufficient.
