TRAMSPREAD, the digestate and slurry handling
specialists will be displaying a cross section of their range
on stand number 498 at this year’s Pig & Poultry Fair,
including the Reck slatted floor mixer which
revolutionises the management of slurry in under- floor
stores and channels.
he folding impeller
is simply lowered
by a winch on the
frame to fit through
a floor slat and is
then able to
homogenise the slurry below
without the need to lift out a
concrete section. The mixing
action can be further improved by
specifying the optional ‘swing
device’ which allows the frame to
tilt the impeller to either side,
enlarging the area to be mixed and
so reducing the amount of times
the mixer needs to be moved to
cover an area. For an almost dry
crust the water supply option is
recommended as water runs
through the mixer sword directly to
the folding propeller and creates a
free-flowing slurry.
These mixers are available for
cow sheds and pig sheds in either
electric or hydraulic options, and
in various sizes to suit any under
floor store.
For information on the extensive
T
range of Reck mixers, and
anything else in the TRAMSPREAD
range from slurry test kits up to
7000m3 slurry stores, call in to
their stand and speak to their
knowledgeable and experienced
personnel or telephone 01449
