The AMAZONE ZG-B bulk fertiliser spreader is a fertiliser spreader
with hoppers from 5,200 l to 8,200 l in volume.
It is used for spreading
•
damp fertiliser (spreading discs of lime) and
•
granular fertiliser (spreading discs OM).
In the municipal sector, bulk precision broadcasters are used for
•
lime treatment in forests
•
applying sand on golf courses
•
in winter service
The conveyor belt (Fig. 17/1) delivers the spreading material (Fig.
17/2) from the hopper (Fig. 17/3) to the spreader units.
The spreading discs (Fig. 17/4) are driven by the PTO shaft with
540 rpm., 720 rpm.or 1000 rpm.
The freely adjustable hopper outlet determines the amount of material
entering the spreading unit and thus the amount of material to be
spread. The spreader units distribute the spreading material.
The steep wall of the hopper and the wide floor conveyor belt mean
that no material is left in the hopper even if damp fertiliser is used.
