A completely new, low-budget, low-specification range of slurry tankers has been launched by SlurryKat to cater for growing demand in that sector. The Pantera tankers demonstrate a more basic design and options list compared to the original premium range of SlurryKat flagship tankers made by the company for larger famers and contractors.
There are a number of models available in the range from 1,600 to 2,750 gallons on a single axle and 2,500 to 3,500 gallon models on tandem axles.
The Pantera range is manufactured with steel shot blasted and finished in high gloss two-pack black paint as standard to ensure a long durable protection against corrosion. Tankers can also be sprayed in SlurryKat’s flagship red and green colours if the customer desires.
SlurryKat’s unique internal anti-surge baffle system and full internal welding is also maintained in the range.
Sales orders and positive feedback on pre-production Pantera models have been very strong from customers, and the range is now in full production at the company’s manufacturing facility at Waringstown, County Armagh.
SlurryKat’s chief executive, Garth Cairns, said the vision behind the new Pantera range was to offer the market a more affordable tanker with less specification, while still maintaining vital reputable build quality and reliability, something SlurryKat is strongly recognised for in the agri industry.
“The same high-quality components and high-tensile steels, Jurop vacuum pumps, axles, wheels and valves that we use to manufacture our premium range of SlurryKat tankers are also fitted to the Pantera range,” he added. “Pantera tankers are built on the same production line by the same experienced SlurryKat engineers, so no cuts have been made to save costs using inferior components.”
SlurryKat is now seen as the main trend setter when it comes to manufacturing slurry handling equipment.
Traditionally recognised for supplying umbilical systems, the company first entered into the competitive slurry tanker market almost eight years ago and has gone from strength to strength in that time.
SlurryKat incorporated new innovative designs that originally focused on tankers with spreading technology equipment on the rear such as dribble bars and trailing shoe injectors to coincide with the EU nitrates directive in 2007.
Prices start at £7,995 for the Pantera 1,600-gallon model (correct at December 2015).
