Arable Injectors
The Terraflex/3 arable injector is made of a galvanised double-beam frame with three rows of Everstrong spring tines (h.: 680 mm) with 6.5-cm wide shares at their ends. The shape of the tines allows for better soil loosening thanks to their vibrating action, thorough mixing of plant residue and breaking up of the plough soil to ensure proper seedbed preparation. The wide opening of the shares ensures excellent slurry flow and wide distribution. The distance between the tines is 30 or 40 cm, the distance between the 2 first rows is 70 cm and the distance between the second and third rows is 50 cm. This wide spacing prevents any clogging of the soil and crop residues as well as the "rake" effect. Slurry is usually injected at a working depth of 12 to 15 cm. The standard gauge wheels can be used to adjust and limit the injection depth. The flexibility of the spring tines protects the injector against damaging obstacles. The Terraflex/3 is a versatile implement, ideal for stony and non-sandy soils and for intensive mixing of earth, slurry and stubble.
Arable injectors allow for deep injection of liquid manure while loosening the soil. They are built around a galvanised double-beam frame reinforced with radiant crosspieces. The advantage of this design is that it transfers the stress from the implement to the tanker, which then transfers them to the tractor. This reduces stress and prevents the tank from being distorted. The Terraflex/3 frame is equipped with a double-acting hydraulic folding mechanism with an anti-twist safety stop (transport width: 2.65 m) and road lighting that complies with regulations.
The share opens the ground and the injection hose right behind the share lays the slurry on the ground. The vibrating effect of the tines increases their resistance to obstacles (stones...) and the hammering effect on heavy soil or hard clods. The working depth is adjusted via a central adjusting mechanism on the two rubber gauge wheels (Ø 605 x 210 mm). To achieve the right balance between application rate, distribution and organic matter flow, the tine spacing of the Terraflex/3 is 30 or 40 cm. In the event of much stubble, this wide spacing is ideal and makes it easier for crop residues mixed with soil and manure to pass through.
As slurry (especially cattle slurry) contains fibres and foreign substances, it is essential to have an efficient macerator for the injector to work properly. Yet, a blocked opening means an uneven spreading pattern. The user therefore has to stop working and clean the machine, which is quite constraining! The JOSKIN solution is the patented system of macerator with cutting and self-sharpening discs: the JOSKIN Scalper©. The cutting system of the Scalper© is merciless: free rotating circular blades are fitted on a knife holder driven by a hydraulic motor. There is a scissor effect between the circular blades and the arched and off-centre elliptical openings of the counter blade (HARDOX), inevitably cutting all materials that can appear in the slurry. If the blades hit something hard, the rotation direction of the Scalper© is reversed by the ‘‘Switch-Matic’’ system (option) until the obstacle is chopped. Furthermore, an electric reverser with manual control is installed in the cab for all rear implements with automaton. The JOSKIN macerator is assembled by fitting and clipping. A multi-position manual valve, fixed at the macerator inlet, provides a step by step adjustment of the injector feeding. The precise adjustment is carried out by means of the pressure relief valve and the chosen type of counter blade. The hydraulic circuit is isolated thanks to a cap. A drain cap can be used to detect a possible defect in the hydraulic seal.
The injector is fitted with a support that can be hitched to the standardized 3-point linkage of a tractor. In this way, it can be used as a simple stubble plough or with an umbilical system.
The Terraflex/3 injectors with spring tines come standard with a double-acting hydraulic folding mechanism equipped with a safety anti-twist stop. This system operates smoothly thanks to powerful hydraulic cylinders. In the transport position, the overall width of the Terraflex/3 does not exceed 2.65 m. The outer tines are self-retractable for more compactness during transport.
