SlurryKat has launched a completely new Duo (Dual Purpose) Dribblebar range ahead of this year’s upcoming umbilical season.
With the threat looming of the all-out ban on splash plates imminent, there’s never been a greater focus on alternative spreading methods, of which the dribblebar has been the most favoured and cost effective option to date.
To meet this increasing demand and to satisfy more intensive users, SlurryKat has developed an all-new 10m and 12m vertical folding dribblebar that can be both tanker mounted or alternatively used on an existing umbilical system.
The all new Duo Dribblebar has been tried and tested during the past season within SlurryKat’s own in-house contracting division, where it was put through its paces in various conditions and terrain. It’s this hands on product development which makes SlurryKat unique and allows them to manufacture market leading equipment ready for the tough Irish conditions.
The 10m and 12m Duo Dribblebars now feature a lower frame height in order to maximise visibility to the rear when operating the system on an umbilical set up. The frame is again heavy duty and capable of carrying the all new Bak Pak Reeler system which has also been redesigned to now carry up to 1,200m of five-inch umbilical hose. The dribblebar arms fold vertical initially with the outside section hydraulically folding backwards and down in order to keep transport height to a minimum.
When in operation, the arms folded down and out in working position are supported for use in high-stress rough terrain. As always, the market-leading German-manufactured Vogelsang macerator, complete with stone trap, is used on the dribblebars, with a twin macerator option available on the 12m unit for use on slopes in order to keep an even and steady spread.
As with all SlurryKat Duo Dribblebars, they have the added benefit that they can be tanker mounted. To further add to the new dribblebars’ versatility they can be fitted with a splash plate attachment for effortless cleaning of the umbilical hose, or when tanker mounted it eliminates the need to remove the dribblebar if the splash plate is required thus saving time and effort.
