Applicator for silage loader wagon
Silage Preservation
Dosing solutions for loader wagons
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 silage loader wagons.
For most silage loader wagon models, the most suitable pump option is the Spreader 6000 (2), with a maximum flow rate of 12 l/min, or the Spreader 15 (2), which delivers a pumping capacity of up to 15 l/min.
Spreader CAN (4) is a next-generation controller for acid applicators that enables automatic dosing in loader wagon applications either speed-based in litres per kilometre (according to the requested rate) or, conventionally, in litres per minute.
With the conventional Spreader acid applicator, the flow rate measured by the flow sensor is adjusted and monitored in real time on the display of the electronic Spreader controller (4) in litres per minute. The conventional Spreader controller is the right choice if you value reliability and ease of use above all.
For transporting silage additive on a loader wagon, the best choice is usually Happowa’s 700-litre bottom-mounted tank, installed beneath the wagon bed where it does not obstruct visibility or limit wagon functions. The tank’s patented design reduces preservative sloshing and effectively prevents suction disturbances in the applicator. Applicator packages compatible with 200-litre barrels are also available.
All loader wagon packages include a spray bar (3) for applying the additive into the forage mass. The spray bar is a 180 cm long steel bar with 1.5 mm holes at 5 cm intervals. Free flow of additive from the tank to the spray bar must be prevented with an anti-drip valve, as the nozzle bar is most often located below the liquid level in the tank. The anti-drip valve should be installed as close to the nozzle bar as possible.
