Vogelsang has announced it will launch a new UniSpread model at LAMMA, alongside a new super-scale separator.
The new 12-metre UniSpread will join the existing range to offer an additional one fifth working width. The new XSplit XS30-80 separator offers a throughput capacity of 175 cubic metres per hour.
“The new UniSpread is aimed at farmers and contractors who need a compact solution for spreading liquid manure close to roots,” ,” explains Vogelsang’s Andy Hayhurst.
“The linkage is available as a dribble bar and trailing shoe and features Vogelsang’s tried-and-tested folding mechanism behind the drum, making it an easy retrofit to any size of tanker,” he adds.
Better accuracy
The trailing shoe model of the 12m UniSpread will be on show at LAMMA and will showcase the brand’s DoubleFlow trailing shoe design. DoubleFlow halves the row spacing 12.5cm, enabling more slurry to be applied more accurately.
The new model features two side support wheels to ensure optimum guidance, and operators can specify an optional piping kit. The UniSpread also benefits from the long- established ExaCut precision distributor.
Vogelsang has developed and launched a range of XSplit separators in recent years. The entry level Compact has a 10m³ per hour capacity and weighs just 875kg. At the other end of the scale, the largest XS30-80 separator has a capacity of 175m³ per hour.
“The XSplit XS30-80 is specially designed for use in large biogas plants and agricultural operations. As the largest model in its range, it offers users who need to separate large quantities of digestate or liquid manure a reliable and needs-based solution.”
The XS30-80 offers a maintenance friendly design with shorter service times than conventional screw press separators. The modular, three-part sieve enables just the worn part to be replaced.
Meanwhile, the VarioAdjust hydraulic adjustment system allows the contact pressure to be flexibly adjusted during operation to reduce wear and tear. There is now a separator in the range for every size of farming operation.
“Our specialists will be on hand at LAMMA to explain how the separators, pumps and applicators can help make slurry and digestate handling and application more efficient,” says Mr Hayhurst.
