Slop spreader draws plenty of interest

Written by 

GROWING USE of feedpads and separators for removing and stockpiling effluent for later disposal ensured plenty of interest in the Kuhn effluent spreader shown by the company at Central District Field Days.

 

“This machine can handle liquid/sloppy material through to semi solid material,” says South Island sales manager for Kuhn, Warren Eagles.

It has a hydraulically operated door that seals for filling and transport and regulates flow as it is opened. The external flap, also hydraulically operated, regulates how far the material can be thrown or distributed. It can lay the material in a windrow or, fully open, the material can be thrown a great distance depending on consistency.

There are two augers taking the material in opposite directions. They provide an even and consistent supply of material to the discharge. The left auger moves the material forward and the right auger, which is raised, moves the material back while keeping the left auger filled.

There are 12 hammers so when the material enters the discharge each hammer swings down into the material, peeling it off, pulverising it and slinging it under hand in an even and controlled spread pattern. 

There is PTO drive line protection. Capacity is three tonnes and 60hp is needed for the PTO.
