Offering models from 3600 to 20,000 litres, all HiSpec slurry tankers use a unique low-profile spreading system that increases controllability, while also decreasing air pollution, particularly offensive odours.

Traditional spreading via tankers or umbilical systems have typically discharged effluent onto splash-plates, resulting in small droplet sizes, which in turn lead to odours, but probably more importantly, the loss of nitrogen by volatilisation.

With last year’s spike in the cost of artificial nitrogenous fertilisers, there has been a renewed interest in using dairy effluent as a nutrient source, with additional benefits gained by increasing soil organic matter, leading to improved water holding, aeration and drainage.

With effluent becoming a more important part of farm management, particularly as an alternative to “bagged” fertiliser, the Fliegl range of tankers from the Power Farming Group looks to fit the bill in most situations.
