Pöttinger launches silage additive tank for loader wagons and balers
Pottinger has released details of its newly developed LIQUIDO F front-mounted, multi-purpose silage additive tank.
Said to offer an automotive quality paint finish, the system uses cathodic dip priming and powder coating, with no solvents being used in the mixing and application of the finishes.
Austrian machinery manufacturer Pottinger has increased the production output of its rake and round baler facility at St. Georgen, with an additional 7,900m² building that includes a €33 million ($58.5m) investment in a new paint shop.
Having already spent €25 million at the plant in 2021, the new priming and coating system will be used for rake and round baler parts, which were previously delivered from the paint line at the Grieskirchen factory.
Said to offer an automotive quality paint finish, the system uses cathodic dip priming and powder coating, with no solvents being used in the mixing and application of the finishes.
“The impact-resistant coating lasts the lifetime of the product and was one of the reasons why we also invested in a painting line at this location,” says Gregor Dietachmayr, speaker of the executive board.
In addition to the approximately 60 employees assembling Impress round balers, large Top rakes and Mergento mergers, another 50 jobs will be created at the expanded site.
