The elastic hopper is the centerpiece of most docking systems. Mounted on transporters, hopper stations or on field edge containers, it allows clean overfilling even on sloping terrain. With nominal widths of 150, 200 and 250 mm, fast filling times are no problem. The soft material means there are no wearing parts to replace.
The ISOBUS control system simplifies and standardizes the operation of implement-specific displays. All functions of the slurry tanker can now be displayed and controlled via the ISOBUS terminal in the tractor. This increases convenience and improves data management. This makes it easier to transfer data from the tractor and slurry tanker to the office PC and into a field database.
The small, compact tankers in the AKE series are particularly suitable for use on slopes. With their lightweight construction and compact shape, slopes and inclines are no problem. To make full use of the working time, the tanker can be filled very quickly and completely thanks to the integrated suction line. The slurry flows through the frame on the pressure side to the tanker’s three-way valve, which allows switching between suction, agitation and spreading. There is no need for recurring pressure testing as the plastic tank is unpressurized.
The slurry technology manufacturer Zunhammer develops the Duplo nozzle with a view to clean green fodder.
Technically, the key difference to the tried and tested nozzles is the line spacing. This is reduced from 25 cm to 12.5 cm, which results in significantly narrower slurry strips per outlet.
The Zunhammer Profi-Fant front suction unit is connected to the front and rear hydraulics of the tractor. The pipe, in which the liquid manure will then flow, runs over the cab roof of the tractor. Zunhammer focuses on an intelligent and flow-optimized slurry flow and relies on rubber joints that are straight when folded out. In contrast to swivel joints with 90 degree bends, this generates hardly any friction and effectively saves power.
With an unbeatable 652 hp (480 kW), the Terra Variant 650 is the most powerful self-propelled slurry tanker from Holmer. The power-to-weight ratio of 34.4 kg/hp also makes it the world’s most powerful self-propelled slurry tanker.
