Vredo Slurry Injectors Direct to the roots where it’s needed!

IN-HOUSE DEVELOPMENT Vredo is a leading manufacturer of agricultural, public amenities and fine turf equipment. Vredo’s regular production manufactures four product lines: • Overseeders (Agricultural, Amenities and Fine Turf) • Slicing Filters (Static and mobile) • Slurry Injectors • Self-Propelled Vehicles (SlurryTracs and MowTracs) All these product lines are fully developed and produced in-house. To this end, Vredo is equipped with state of the art production equipment. Vredo sells and distributes her products directly and through a carefully selected distribution network both nationally...

VALUE & NECESSITY Thanks to the increasing intensification of agricultural practices, forage yields have become even more important. The quality and quantity of the feed also help determine the farm’s returns. Also, the application system (animal fertilizer) used has a great influence on the final results. Slurry injection has been proven to be the most cost effective way of manure application. The key elements in manure and digestate are nitrogen (N), potassium (K), phosphorus (P) & magnesium (Mg). In particular nitrogen and phosphorus are vital for plant growth, vitality and therefore...

THE RESULTS The key question is what slurry application does for you and/or your customer. On this page you can see the difference between the various application techniques in terms of yield (Kgdm) and how much extra artificial fertilizer needs to be used just to reach the yield levels achieved by a Vredo slurry injector. In short, fertilizing grassland with a Vredo slurry injector leads to: • 35% more utilization of available nitrogenous compounds from cattle slurry • 41% more utilization of available nitrogenous compounds from pig slurry Dry Mass Yields (grassland) using diverse...

CLEAN CUTTING IS THE KEY Clean and sharp Our Slurry Injector series are furnished with the unique VREDO Double Disc System, which is the key to clean and sharp cutting. Two durable discs, arranged in a V-shape, create a narrow cut in the sod, consistently under all soil conditions - clay, peat, clay or sand, either wet or dry. The VREDO Double-Disc element = quality! The sod is sharply incised and horizontally opened by the V-shaped twin cutting discs, whereby the root system remains intact and minimum compaction occurs. Also, the soil maintains its open structure meaning that the slurry is...

COMPACTION FREE OPERATION Draught force requirement Knife coulter Thick disc coulter Disc coulter VREDO double disc Source: Jounal of Agricultural Engineering Research 71 (1998) Huijsmans, Hendriks & Vermeulen The required pulling force of a slurry injector VREDO is, according to independent research, the lowest when compared to other slurry application principles. Compared with competing systems such as a knife-coulter, a coulter disk and a thick disc coulter the VREDO slurry injector causes little damage to the soil (read compaction and smearing of the ground). Competitive systems compact...

SLURRY INJECTOR SERIES Vredo has Slurry Injector series: the ZBFE and ZB3. Both series have the same unique double disc principle and are suitable for professional use. The fertilising elements on both series are exactly the same. ZBFE Slurry Injector The ZBFE is a solidly constructed slurry injector manufactured from a galvanized box beam frame. The double discs elements are mounted on the frame giving the same fertilization quality equal to the other Vredo slurry injector series. Thanks to this box beam construction the ZBFE has a low actual weight which makes this series ideal for...

PRECISION IS THE FUTURE The fertilizer (animal-based) legislation in many countries is aimed at striking a balance between the amount applied and the nutrients absorbed. This means that, in practice, much less manure can/must be applied and that this distribution needs to be more accurate. Therefore unnecessary double fertilization is to be avoided as far as possible as well as double incision of the sod. Without Section Shut-Off Section Shut-Off Vredo has developed three Sectional Shut-Off constructions, i.e. sections with a width of 90 cm per section: 1. The outer sections able to be...

FEATURES & OPTIONS Automatic Lubrication System Double-Disc Fertilizing Element The unique Vredo double discs system ensures that the ground is incised and opened. The result is minimal fuel consumption and the maintenance of an open soil structure. The central automatic lubrication system causes the bearings and pivoting points to be lubricated during operation. This ensures low maintenance, saves down-time and ensures a long working-life. Hydraulic Shut-off The shut-off valves are operated hydraulically. The cylinders are kept free from free from manure and dirt becuase they are mounted...
