Slurry handling specialist Storth Machinery will launch a range of umbilical spreading equipment at the 2015 Lamma Show, including a number of different reelers with sizes and designs that will suit everyone from small-scale farms to large-scale contractors.
The range includes bobbin reelers, rear-mounted and trailed reelers. All are galvanised and rely on a heavy-duty planetary gearbox drive: this gives better torque when reeling in, has less wear and is more reliable than chain alternatives.
Storth is also offering a full range of slurry applicators, from simple splash-plates to trailing shoe injectors and dribble bars.
On the Storth stand at the Lamma Show there will be a heavy-duty trailed reeler, ideal for large-scale operations where up to 2,000m of hose needs to be transported long distances.
A hydraulic control valve fitted to the rear of the reeler, allows the operator full control when reeling in the hose. Storth’s trailed reelers all come fitted with 550/55×22.5 flotation tyres, and have a drawbar attachment at the rear for towing.
This model carries 2,000m of hose, weighs 789kg and is 2.8m width. It retails at £12,400 (correct at December 2014).
Also on the stand will be Storth’s new rear-mounted reeler, capable of carrying 1,200m of umbilical hose, shown in combination with a 7m dribble bar. This set-up retails at £16,000.
