Common rail SwingMax

Product overview
The SwingMax is a dribble bar applicator system for low-to-the-ground slurry spreading from tankers with standard working widths of 21–30 meters (SwingMax36 up to 36 m). It consists of decentralized ExaCut precision slurry macerators, optimized equal-length discharge hoses, and a double-tube frame design (SwingMax36: triple frame) to provide a stable, lightweight and low-service applicator for large working widths.

Problem
Conventional spreaders create uneven distribution, waste nutrients, and require extra passes over tramlines, causing soil compaction and losses.

Solution
SwingMax distributes slurry precisely across up to 36 meter widths using decentralized ExaCut macerators, optimized hose routing, rigid end hoses and a specialized frame design. It maximizes tramline use, reduces the number of passes, enables flexible section shut-off, and deposits slurry beneath plants for improved nutrient utilization and lower emissions.

How it works
The slurry is fed centrally into decentralized ExaCut precision slurry macerators and precisely distributed to all application points via optimized, equal-length hoses. The system deposits slurry beneath the plants rather than spraying onto them, leading to uniform plant growth and significantly lower ammonia emissions.

Key features

• Decentralized ExaCut precision slurry macerators for exact distribution and easy maintenance.
• Optimized, equal-length discharge hoses to prevent uneven distribution patterns.
• Rigid end hoses for defined swath spacing and consistent application.
• Vogelsang UV-resistant specialty hose for long-term durability.
• DropStop: 180° upward swivel to prevent dripping when folding or turning.
• Slope compensation for uneven terrain.
• Comfort Flow Control (CFC) for flexible hose group shut-off from the cab.
• Double-tube frame design for maximum stability at minimum weight (SwingMax36: triple-frame design).
• EasyPack transporting frame: delivered fully pre-assembled for quick on-site retrofitting.
• QuickService design: decentralized macerators enable planned maintenance in under 20 minutes.

Benefits

• Save on operating costs: Fewer passes and larger working widths (up to 36 m) reduce travel time and fuel consumption.
• Planned service instead of surprises: QuickService of decentralized macerators reduces unplanned downtime.
• Consistent yields through even nutrient distribution: No V-shaped pattern at application start; stable application across the field.
• Flexible operational readiness: EasyPack and retrofit options allow rapid installation and adaptation to different tankers.
• Sustainability through precision: Close-to-the-ground spreading reduces ammonia emissions and the need for mineral fertilizer.
