On all SlurryKat Dribble Bar & Trailing Shoe spreading systems we only use 40mm internal diameter specially manufactured delivery hoses.
When SlurryKat first pioneered Dribble Bars back in 2007, we started with 50mm delivery hoses only to experience problems with blockages, flow rates and overall spreading performance.
Through in-field testing our extensive contracting division has clearly proven that 40mm hoses boast much enhanced performance, trouble free blockages and enhanced environmental benefits despite confusing myths from other manufacturers.
Our unique Super-flow™ design has 40mm delivery hoses which are inserted directly into 50mm drop hoses. These connections are retained with a patented clamping bracket (see photo opposite) which means that when the slurry leaves the 38mm outlets of the distributor head there is nothing to restrict the slurry flow all the way until it leaves the machine to drop effortlessly to the ground.
Competitor machines use 50mm hoses with internal steel tube connections. These internal steel connections not only corrode very rapidly after the first few months of operation but also massively restrict the flow by snagging with silage/ straw fibres on the inside of the PVC hoses.
Our in-depth trials have also proved that 50mm hoses resulted in increasingly messy "splashing" leading to much less precise delivery of slurry to the ground.
This lead to an increased surface area and exposure to the air resulting in significant ammonia and nutrient losses and lower crop performance than compared to 40mm diameter hoses.
