| Slurry Storth machinery: Engineered to perform Ammonia Gas is a major contributor to air pollution across the globe and at Storth, we knew we could do more to help reduce air pollution. ollowing intense research, we designed and produced a complete range of Slurry Handling Machinery, to suit the ever- changing needs of Farmers and Contractors worldwide. We listened to and responded to our customers and designed a complete system, starting with the cow, ending back in the field. As most Gas Emissions are released on the spreading of Slurry, Storth manufactured in our British based factory, a range of galvanised Dribble Bars and a Trailing Shoe Injectors, to help assist with precision application, whilst meeting the most demanding needs of the agricultural market. This type of slurry application assists with the amount of nutrients available to crops, as traditional methods of spreading slurry see that most nutrients are lost in the atmosphere, releasing the harmful F www.farmingmonthly.co.uk Ammonia Gas. Our range of Dribble Bars reduce the surface area of which slurry is exposed to, lowering nutrient losses by as much as 5% in comparison to Spreader Bars. Every farm is different, therefore Storth developed a range of Umbilical Equipment to help accommodate most farmers and as such, the Vertical Fold Dribble Bar and the Trailing Shoe Injector were made. The Vertical Fold Dribble Bar incorporates a close coupled central frame design, giving narrow transport width, as well as the strength to facilitate the optional HD Female A-frame. Prior to slurry being applied to the ground, it is processed by the NovaCut Macerator, giving an even-better consistency to the slurry being applied. The Trailing Shoe Injector, is designed for use on grassland and arable land, for applying slurry to the soil surface with minimum contamination to the plant leaves.
