The new Mercedes-Benz Unimog-based Dammann DT500 self-propelled sprayer is now available from importer Chantry-Dammann UK Ltd.
Built on the Unimog U500 chassis, new features on the sprayerinclude four-wheel steering manufactured by Mercedes-Benz; a 4,500-litre water tank; a 60-litre induction hopper; and a three-section folding 36m boom with aluminium outer sections that can also be used to spray at 24m, 30m and 32m spray widths.
An all-new drivers’ cabin for 2012 is purpose-built by Dammann and will be fitted to their complete range of self-propelled sprayers. The new cab features sliding-door access, improved visibility, driver comfort, storage and enhanced accessibility for service maintenance.
An automatic transmission with eight-forward and six-reverse gears is fitted, along with an additional low-range set. Damann’s philosophy is to retain as much as possible of the original Mercedes-Benz Unimog componentry and layout, including the side-mounted engine cooling radiator, positioned to reduce the risk of it becoming blocked with debris; particularly useful when spraying oilseed rape. The U500 also features all-round coil spring suspension with telescopic shock absorbers, stabilisers and portal axles with rear differential locking.
Dammann is Germany’s leading self-propelled sprayer manufacturer, at the quality end of that market and with more than 30 years’ experience converting the Mercedes-Benz Unimog for spraying applications. The DT500 2012 model is the company’s first Unimog-based machine to feature four-wheel steering; it offers the benefit of a full Mercedes-Benz warranty as it is a fully factory-approved product.
As with all Dammann sprayers, the DT500 is covered by a five-year spray tank warranty, and a three-year warranty on the sprayer chassis and boom, reflecting the high quality levels these machines are built to. Dammann sprayers use pneumatic boom control rams for best possible control and boom stability with ‘softer’ inputs than hydraulic rams, thereby reducing component stress and increasing long-term reliability.
Pneumatic high-pressure spray-line purging is standard equipment to allow efficient expulsion of all liquids to prevent freezing in low temperatures. The spray tank has a completely smooth, polished interior to enable easier and more effective cleaning.
Dammann also offers a range of trailed sprayers with single, double and triple axles, as well as hydrostatic self-propelled machines with DAS air-assisted application and Highlander high-clearance model options.
