Sludge spreading boom PENDITWIST

drip hosefolding

General Points The Penditwist line spreading boom has a hot-dip galvanised frame for a maximal durability and an optimal protection against corrosion. The 6’’ (Ø 150 mm) feeding hoses connect the back of the tanker to the Scalper macerators. These macerators distribute the slurry and direct it towards the line hoses (Ø 40 mm), which are orientated towards the rear and spaced 25 cm or 30 cm apart depending on the model. The Penditwist spreading boom is available with different widths (9, 12, 13.5, 15, 16 and 18 m) and has many applications. It lays the slurry on the ground without slowing down the growth of the plants and with no slurry residue in the forage, which is ideal for grass or maize silage, the fertilisation of meadows, growing crops, etc. Eccentric SCALPER Macerator The vertical macerator is of utmost importance in order to make sure the spreading implement works properly. The 9-m spreading booms have one single macerator, while the booms from 12 m have two of them in order to get a greater reactivity at the beginning of the spreading phase and to reduce load losses (slurry is more uniformly spread). This macerator has a variable opening of the counter blade, which allows an extremely precise dosing of the quantity to be spread, regardless of the desired flow. A hand-accessible thumbwheel allows the operator to change the flow rate according to the type and quantity of material to be spread. The macerator has a single knife unit in the form of a diabolo that rotates eccentrically on the Hardox counter blade for an even distribution.
