Cooperation between NEXAT and Evers Agro has resulted in a high capacity slurry injection combination. In this configuration, the NEXAT carrier vehicle is fitted with a Wienhoff slurry tanker and Evers Agro Toric NX 1400 disc-cultivator injector.
The NEXAT – Evers combination enables slurry injection on large scale farming operations. For this cooperation, Evers has further developed its Toric disc-cultivator injector to a working width of 14 meters, for precise slurry injection into the soil within the NEXAT concept.
The Toric disc cultivator injector offers tillage and slurry injection in one pass, which is important for sustainable soil management and optimal plant growth within the WS-CTF (Widespan Controlled Traffic Farming) system.
The construction of the Toric NX 1400 disc-cultivator injector allows optimal operation with the NEXAT-carrier vehicle and Wienhoff slurry tanker. The disc-cultivator injector is ideal for fertilizing and simultaneously incorporating green manure and/or crop residues and seedbed preparation on large areas.
Suspension of the discs enables optimum soil flow of the disc-cultivator injector. The discs with a 51 cm diameter are mounted on maintenance-free bearings. The discs open and treat the soil to a depth of 12 cm. The disc elements are mounted with leaf springs, enabling contour following.
The elements are mounted symmetrically for optimum processing of the soil within the tracks. Side discs thereby ensure that the NEXAT tracks remain in perfect condition.
For working at 14 m working width, the Toric NX1400 is equipped with hydraulic ground adaptation. The two Alrena Exact dividers provide sufficient capacity and ensure accurate slurry distribution. Through an optimally positioned hose guide, the slurry reaches the first row of discs. The slurry outlets inject the slurry into the soil directly behind the first row of discs. The second row of discs ensures proper injection.
Injecting slurry directly into the soil increases nutrient efficacy and reduces odor and loss of fertilizer loss. Finally, a large tube roller in a V-shape ensures depth control, levelling and optimum consolidation of the soil.
NEXAT, Evers and Wienhoff machines are compatible with sophisticated software fitting within the NEXAT WS-CTF system. This NEXAT, Wienhoff and Evers combination offers a large capacity to inject slurry and prepare the seedbed on large fields in a relatively short time.
