NEW SlurryKat Nurse Tank | Generation 3

New Machine, New Designs

Taking a forensic look at the new machine, starting from the bottom up, SlurryKat has redesigned and improved the chassis making it stronger for those heavy loads.

The company has also fitted new Doda AFI high pressure pumps on the drawbar, available optionally on all of the new models.

SlurryKat CEO and principal design engineer, Garth Cairns, said: "This new range of nurse tanks really takes a big step into providing stronger machines that are also cleaner emptying."

"We fit the new models, as standard, with a new style sump, which improves suction and flow to the pump. It also gives greater protection against stones and debris that may be in the slurry."

 

Key Features

• Unique chevron style side panels
• Improved, stronger chassis design
• Manufactured using special high quality, high tensile steel
• Made from robust 5mm steel for long lasting use
• Robust design for greater stability and superior strength
• Enhanced 500mm flow passage from from to rear of nurse tank
• New style sump for improved suction, emptying and protection from stones and debris
• Less matter build up for less erosion
• Optional headland management system
• Optional DODA AFI high pressure pump
• Available in 45m3 - 200m3 sizes

 

First Of Its Kind On The Market

However, it's the new design sides of these new nurse tanks that really set them apart from others on the market.

Garth said: "Looking at the tank itself, the sides have taken on a new chevron style, very similar to the bellows of an accordion. That type of design, which we have went for, is the very first of it's type on the market.

"It's subtle, yet not very pronounced. We choose to use special high tensile steel to manufacture this new design, and the use of laser cutting, press formed sheet metal work gives us that zig-zag design of side.

"The advantages of this type of design, when used as the tank sides, means we no longer have to use bracing from the floor to the sides, and along the sides, to give the structure its strength.

"The sides are now made from 5mm thick steel and the design is officially registered with the UK Intellectual Property Office. 

 

Complete Emptying For Better Prevention

"The inside of the tank itself is very clean lined with no confined areas for silage, straw or slurry to catch on and build up. This also helps prevent erosion.

"With this design the tank empties clean every time. The high flow passage from behind the wheels to the front of the wheels is enhanced with a pipe that is 500mm diameter.

"It is a common problem on other nurse tanks that use smaller pipes, when sediment, such as sawdust, can gather in this area and block the flow. We have continued using that high-flow pipe right through all our nurse tanks from the very first generation models," he said.

In the new generation 3 range the new models are the same size as in the previous generation; 45m3, 65m3, 85m3, 100m3, 120m3, 150m3 and the big 200m3 capacity machine.

 

Optional Extras

Optional extras include the integrated umbilical headland management system on the umbilical pump, which allows the slurry flow to the field, to be completely halted during headland turns with no time limit, preventing excess application.
