Liquido F is the newly developed, versatile front silage additive tank from Pöttinger. The device applies additive to the forage to be harvested. It can be used easily and flexibly in combination with a wide variety of different brands of loader wagons and balers.
The nozzle header of the Lquido F is positioned between the pick-up and the rotor, where it applies the lactic acid bacteria solution directly and homogeneously to the flow of forage to produce high-quality silage. The application rate is matched to the flow of forage and the farm’s requirements.
The Liquido F can also be used as a front bumper and as front ballast. Maximum utilization of this versatile unit is a given because it covers a wide range of different applications.
Two models for different requirements
The silage additive tank is available in two versions: Liquido F 2000 and 3000 The F 2000 has an application rate of 40 l/h to 245 l/h, while the premium F 3000 can be expanded to achieve up to 470 l/h by adding two more nozzles.
A digital flowmeter measures the application flowrate in liters per hour. The flowrate can be easily adjusted using the + 10 % / – 10 % button.
On the F 3000, the flowmeter regulates the application rate automatically according to the defined target rate and the current operating conditions. It switches on the two additional nozzles automatically when required.
The way the application rate is to be controlled is selected before each job. It can be switched on and off manually at the touch of a button, or automatically according to the position of the pick-up. It switches off when the pick-up is lifted so that no silage additive goes to waste. An additional option on the premium Liquido F 3000 model controls the application rate according to the driving speed: the higher the speed, the more silage additive is applied to the flow of forage.
The Liquido F contains three tanks for quick and easy handling. The main tank, the fresh water tank, and a hand washing tank enable several work steps at once, from mixing to filling and hand rinsing.
The main tank has a standard size of 200 liters, but is also available in a 400-liter version.
Cleaning the tank, the supply lines and the nozzles is easy. Thanks to the fresh water tank (the F 3000 even has an integrated cleaning nozzle), the cleaning process is completed in a few steps, making it quickly ready for its next job.
Other features include a level indicator, jaw hitch, and toolbox. Work area lights and storage rollers are available as options. When used as a front bumper, the Liquido F enhances safety on the road , thanks to its clearly visible lighting. Its width can be adjusted between 2.55 and 2.85 m, and it can also be used as front ballast.
