OverviewThe ExaCut ECQ precision slurry distributor from Vogelsang is designed for accurate nutrient application and efficient slurry handling. Product claims on the page include faster and easier maintenance, up to 50% longer service life (elsewhere also stated as up to three times longer service life or up to 150,000 m³), up to 50% lower power requirement, improved distribution accuracy and large cross sections to reduce pressure loss. The QuickService concept and a large maintenance flap enable rapid access to wearing parts.
Main benefits (as listed)- Faster and easier maintenance than previous designs
- Up to 50% longer service life (also presented elsewhere as up to 3× longer service life up to 150,000 m³)
- Higher nutrient distribution accuracy (very low coefficient of variation claimed)
- Up to 50% lower power requirement
- Large internal cross sections to reduce pressure loss
Design & operation highlightsThe unit features a revised open design with a three-bladed rotor that reduces rotational speed and internal pressure in the distributor. This lowers load on the cutting system and contributes to longer component life. Large cross sections improve slurry admission and reduce pressure losses, positively affecting pump power consumption. The QuickService principle allows clampable eccentric adjustment and direct access to wearing parts via a large maintenance flap without removing the distributor from the spreading linkage.
Features & components (summary)- Eccentric adjuster maintaining consistent pressure of cutting blades on the cutting ring for stable cutting performance
- Optimized cutting blades and three-bladed rotor to reduce wear
- Integrated ventilation to ensure even flow into discharge hoses and high distribution precision
- Compact sealing package separating hydraulic oil and medium, with leakage check function
- Heavy material separator for collection and removal of stones or metal pieces
- Factory-fitted side filling connections in various lengths/diameters and optional TopInlet top inlet
Options- Comfort Flow Control (CFC): shut-off solution in hose outlets downstream of the distributor for part-width section cut-offs, tramline switching or DropStop systems; hoses or hose groups can be closed from the cab; compatible with dribble bars, trailing shoe systems and tillage units
Service & maintenanceThe ExaCut ECQ is designed around the QuickService concept to minimize downtime. According to the page, service and reassembly can be completed quickly (page cites under 20 minutes), with a large maintenance flap providing direct access to wearing parts without dismantling the distributor from the spreader frame.
