Using modern materials and advanced design solutions, a system has been developed that is lightweight, sturdy, and reliable.
A versatile, medium-weight slurry spreader equipped with two „ExaCut ECM“ slurry distributors, designed for standard slurry tankers. A compact, sturdy, and low-maintenance unit weighing just 1,325–1,400 kg.
An excellent choice for medium-sized farms and to agricultural service providers, for those seeking to cultivate large areas of farmland in a cost-effective and efficient manner.
Unique Features of the Vogelsang-BeTEC BlackBird Light Slurry Injection System
Lightweight and compact design
The BlackBird Light stands out for its light weight—the 12-meter working-width model weighs just 1,325 kg, while the 15-meter model weighs 1,400 kg. A specially designed hose layout, lightweight yet sturdy plastic runners, and compact slurry distributors help reduce the overall weight of the equipment. As a result, the unit can be easily adapted to a variety of existing slurry tankers.
Precise and even distribution of slurry
Two „ExaCut ECM“ slurry spreaders ensure even slurry distribution across the entire 12- or 15-meter working width. Special „PrecisionFlow“ discharge nozzles, combined with plastic skimmers, allow for precise spreading of slurry close to the soil surface, reducing crop contamination and helping to utilize nutrients more efficiently.
Smooth operation and precise terrain mapping
The BlackBird Light features sturdy leaf springs that ensure stability during transport, while hydraulic cylinders with end-of-stroke damping reduce the load when folding and unfolding the booms. The support wheels included as standard help the machine precisely follow the contours of the soil surface, while the 3D collision protection system protects the equipment from obstacles.
Flexible adjustment of working width
The BlackBird Light can be equipped with the „DoubleFlow“ system, which reduces the distance between the slurry spreader hoses from 25 to 12.5 cm. Optional T-shaped connectors and a working-width section control mechanism allow you to adapt slurry spreading to different field conditions. Additionally, the optional „NightShift“ lighting system ensures better visibility when working at night.
High quality and efficient work
- Working width: 12 or 15 m.
- Transport width: 2.99 m.
- Distance between the hoses: 25 or 12.5 cm.
- All pressure elements are actively pressed against the soil.
- „The “DropStop” system—by folding the booms, it reduces slurry dripping and contamination of headlands, roads, and farm paths.
- Plastic pressure elements, designed to optimize flow, ensure precise slurry distribution.
- The support wheel included as standard ensures precise tracking of the soil surface.
