Frequently Asked Questions

How far can the CAS throw material?
While distance is very important, the real question should be how far can a CAS throw and still maintain high volume. We have shot material up to 170 ft., but typically we can shoot material from 100 – 150 ft. with no problem while maintaining high volume and a tight stream.

Can I use my own chassis to mount this equipment?
