Applicator for self-propelled forage harvester
Silage Preservation
Dosing solutions for self-propelled forage harvesters
An acid applicator is on your shopping list, but you don’t have time to deal with hoses and fittings? No worries — at Happowa we’ve made choosing an applicator as easy as possible by offering ready-made product packages specifically designed for self-propelled forage harvesters.
The required pumping capacity of an acid applicator in a forage harvester is often 10–30 l/min, which is why the most heavy-duty pump in the Spreader product range, Spreader 30 (2), is usually the best choice, whether using the conventional Spreader controller (4) or the modern Spreader CAN (4). In the illustrative image above, an IBC tank (1) is used to transport the silage additive.
Spreader CAN is a new-generation acid applicator that enables automatic dosing based on actual harvested volume — litres per tonne. In forage harvester applications, Spreader CAN delivers its full potential, as harvest data–based dosing via the CAN bus is currently available only on Claas, John Deere and New Holland forage harvesters.
With the conventional 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. A Spreader applicator without CAN functionality is an excellent choice when reliability and ease of use are your top priorities.
Both applicators can be connected to the harvester control via a control relay, allowing the applicator to start and stop automatically according to machine operation, ensuring safe and effortless use.
Our nozzle solution for a forage harvester consists of two nozzle sets, each containing two nozzles equipped with a check valve. The nozzles (3) are installed either in the harvester chamber or on top of the forage harvester spout.
