Abbey Machinery showed its new Tri-App 7.5m Slurry applicator at this year’s Royal Highland Show.
The Tri-App is a new concept in slurry application and combines the three functions of dribble bar, trailing boot and trailing shoe applicators into one machine – hence the its name.
The new machine can be mounted on to a tanker via fixed mounting or with the use of a hydraulic mast. It’s also possible for it to be mounted on the back of a tractor to run with an umbilical system.
“With the increased legislative focus on low-emission slurry spreading, the market for low-emission slurry spreading products is set to grow,” Abbey Machinery’s Owen Cavanagh said.
The mounting to the tanker has been optimised to reduce the overhang and minimise the weight of the applicator on the back of a tanker. The Tri-App has also been engineered to offer lightweight construction with robust design to ensure maximum durability and productivity for the end user.
Fitted with a 40mm heavy duty durable hose, the system is designed with no internal hose restrictions at hose joints and ensures that there are no restrictions to the flow from the Vogelsang Exacut macerator to the ground.
The double-pivot, three-section boom allows the outlets to follow the ground contours individually, and when travelling forward protects the frame from any uneven ground
Key features of the Tri-App includes: 5m boot; individual floating sections; 40mm housing; forward folding boom Individual folding rams; capacity to carry a rear mounted 600m reel; machine Rigidly mounted; galvanised; Vogelsang Exacut distributor with Auto Reverse; rear-mounted splash plate; lightweight construction; and LED lights.
Optional equipment available includes: umbilical arm; trailing shoe points; mast-mounted machine; A-frame to retro fit 600m reels; and electro-hydraulic controls.
