Applicator for baler
Silage Preservation
Dosing solutions for balers
An acid applicator is on your shopping list, but you don’t have time to go through hoses and fittings? No worries — at Happowa we’ve made choosing an applicator as easy as possible by putting together ready-made product packages for balers.
In the baler, the silage additive is usually added to the forage in the pick-up before the feeder. The pumping capacity required for the additive is typically below 6 l/min, which means that a suitable pump model for baler use is, for example, the Spreader 4000 (2).
Spreader CAN is a new-generation acid applicator that enables automatic dosing either speed-based in litres per kilometre according to the requested rate or, traditionally, in litres per minute.
With the traditional Spreader acid applicator, the flow rate measured by the flow sensor is adjusted and monitored in real time on the electronic Spreader controller display in litres per minute. The Spreader applicator is the right choice if reliability and ease of use are your main priorities.
In the Easy applicator package, a simple Junior controller is used to adjust only the dosing rate, while flow monitoring is carried out mechanically using a separate glass tube flow meter, which is included in the Easy package.
For low flow rates, the robust VP stem pump is also a good option. Flow adjustment and monitoring are carried out using the Junior controller and the glass tube flow meter.
Of the applicator packages available for balers, the Spreader CAN, Spreader and Easy packages include a spray bar with a check valve and flat fan nozzles, which distributes the additive evenly and accurately into the forage mass at low flow rates. In the VP arm applicator package, the nozzle solution is a pick-up spray bar with spoon nozzles. All packages also include an anti-drip valve as well as the required hoses and fittings. The anti-drip valve should be installed as close to the spray bar as possible.
