With 30 years of experience in slurry technology, Alrena has developed several high-quality precision slurry distributors for slurry processing.
A precision macerator, also known as slurry macerator or precision distributor is a sophisticaded device that is integrated into slurry spreading systems and makes sure that slurry is evenly distributed among the various hoses. This accurate distribution and cutting is crucial for uniform application of slurry across agricultural lands, optimizing nutrient use and enhancing crop yields.
The precision macerator ensures unique precision in slurry distribution. Its patented airflow system, in combination with a rotor and various cutting plates, allows for very precise slurry distribution across both large and small application quantities. This system enables the macerator to adjust to different configurations easily, permitting various application rates with the same machine. When running dry, the specially developed macerator experiences almost no temperature rise, minimizing wear. The core of a macerator's functionality lies in its rotating cutting system, which utilizes round knives that rotate constantly due to different pivot points and the resistance of solid parts in the slurry. This constant rotation ensures that each cut is made with a fresh section of the knife, significantly reducing wear. Moreover, the rotating movement causes the cutting discs to self-sharpen, thereby extending the wear parts' service life. A coil spring ensures consistent blade force throughout operation. There are several animation video's that explain how a precision macerator works.
Yes, the precision distributors are designed to be compatible with a variety of slurry distribution systems, including trailing shoes, dribble bars, umbilical systems, liquid manure cultivators, disc injectors, and strip till systems. Their adaptability allows for easy integration into existing setups, offering a cost-effective solution for improving slurry application efficiency and accuracy.
The cost of precision macerators can vary significantly based on their configuration, capacity, and specific features designed to handle both very small and very large volumes efficiently. The pricing is tailored to the needs and specifications of each agricultural operation, ensuring that farmers and agricultural professionals get a device that meets their exact requirements. For accurate pricing, it's essential to request a quote, as the cost is determined by various factors including the type of precision macerator chosen, its size, and any additional features or customization requested. This approach allows for a high degree of customization, ensuring that each buyer receives a solution that is precisely tailored to their operational needs, whether they're dealing with small-scale farms or large agricultural enterprises.
The delivery time of a precision macerator typically ranges from 1-2 working weeks, based on material availability. However, current delivery times should always be confirmed upon request to ensure accuracy and to plan accordingly.
There are vertical and horizontal precision distributors available for sale. The vertical distributor distributes the slurry from a vertical position and the horizontal distributes the slurry from a horizontal position. The vertical and horizontal are both available in different sizes with the horizontal type ranging from 20 to 52 outlets and the vertical distributor ranging from 24 to 48 outlets. There is also a possibility for a topinlet which is an additional slurry inlet at the top of the macerator.
