LAMMA launch for new slurry equipment
Vogelsang has announced it will launch a new UniSpread model at LAMMA in January, 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. 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,” explains Vogelsang’s Andy Hayhurst.
The trailing shoe model of the new 12-metre UniSpread will be on show at LAMMA and will showcase the brand’s DoubleFlow trailing shoe design.
“DoubleFlow halves the row spacing from 25 to 12.5 centimetres to enable more slurry to be applied more accurately,” adds Mr Hayhurst.
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. At entry level is the Compact which is capable of up to 10 cubic metres per hour and weighs just 875 kilos. At the other end of the scale, the new XS30-80 completes the range as the largest separator with a capacity of 175 cubic metres 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,” says Mr Hayhurst.
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 and VarioAdjust, a 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,” concludes Mr Hayhurst.
