Pendulum Spreaders

Symmetric Spread Pattern for Optimal Overlap

Minimum wind influence on the spreading pattern The to-and-for movement of the spout causes the fertiliser to be thrown to the left and the right hand side only, never to the front and a short distance only to the rear. Wind influence is therefore insignificant and the tractor does not get covered with fertiliser.

More than one million machines sold prove that the Vicon pendulum seeder/spreader is the first choice wherever the demand is for maxi- mum accuracy in fertiliser applica- tion. Spreading quality and ease of operation of this unique machine are unequalled - now as in the past. The pendulum movement of the spout ensures that the applica- tion rate is always identical on both sides. This results in an excel- lent overlap.

Easy setting of the application rate The plastic scale allows continuous adjustment of the application rate in kg per hectare, so the risk of spreading errors is minimal. Using the spreading chart and the dial you can determine the desired quantity of fertiliser for every spreading width and forward speed.

Easy setting of the application rate

Border spreading made easy! Spreading along field edges and tramline border spreading is no problem at all - thanks to the border spreading plate and the tramline cylinder. When working along the field boundary you can limit the spreading width using the border spreading plate and when on the tramline you just tilt the spreader 7° if you have to operate near fences or ditches. Built for a long service life SuperFlow seeder/spreaders from Vicon fullfill all requirements for a long service life: - the optimized frame with no corners where fertiliser can accumulate - the glass fiber re-inforced polyester or poly ethylene hopper, which is unaffected by aggressive types of fertiliser - the metering disc is made from stainless steel - the unique Duracoat powder painting system for exceptional corrosion resistance of spreading unit and frame - the bearings of the spreading unit have easily accessible grease nipples for maximum ease of maintenance.

Low filling height Refilling fertiliser is no problem at all - the hopper can be easily moved under a tipping trailer or silo or filled by hand.

Gentle handling of fertiliser The agitator ensures an even material feed to the spreading unit, so there’s no risk of the fertiliser being crushed.

Simple calibration A specially designed calibration container makes it no longer necessary to remove the spout for calibration.

A Truly Multi-Functional Seeder/Spreader SuperFlow PS225-335

PS225-335 The PS225-335 is a truly multi-functional seeder/spreader. This smallest model of the unique Vicon pendulum spreader range is ideal for use on golf courses, sports fields and grounds, as well as in many horticulture and municipal applications. A variety of spouts for different applications and spreading widths makes it possible to spread fertiliser, seeds, sand, salt, pellets or any other granular product up to 14m. The PS225 has a hardwearing poly-ethylene (PE) hopper with a basic capacity of 220 litre and an optional extension rim to create 330 litre content. The compact design in combination with the short spreading surface gives you an optimal spreader for working in small areas.

PS335

Ideal for Use on Golf Courses and Orchards SuperFlow PS403-503 and PS403-503VITI

PS403-503 With hopper capacities of 400 and 500 litres this spreader is the ideal solution for small farms and special applications. These spreaders are suitable for spreading at 14m (46') if a tractor with 750 or 1000 rpm PTO is available.

PS403-503VITI This special spreader version with only 115 cm hopper width has been designed for spreading in orchards (400 or 500 litre hopper capacity).

PS403VITI

Spreading Widths Up to 15m SuperFlow PS604-754-804-954-1154-1354-1654

The Vicon pendulum spreader is the first choice wherever the demand is for maximum spreading quality and ease of operation. The standard working width of the PS04 range is 1 to 14m. When you increase the PTO speed of the tractor from 540 rpm to 620 rpm the spreading width can be increased to even 15m. The features of the PS04 spreader are exact rate control, quick change spouts, low filling heights and easy maintenance. This versatile spreaders are popular for vineyards, golf courses and general farm applications.

Optional Equipment

Lighting set For all PS spreaders is an optional lighting set available. Also reflector decals can be ordered for safe transport on the roads.

Hydraulic remote control Allows the metering disc to be opened and closed from the driver’s seat (one single acting control valve required).

Agitator The agitator ensures an even material feed to the spreading unit. A safety grid protects the agitator.

Lighting set and reflector decals

Grid A grid fitted inside the hopper prevents lumps of fertiliser penetrating the feed mechanism.

Fine seed insert Shuts two of the three openings of the metering device for the application of small quantities of fine seeds.

Calibration container Allows calibration tests to be performed with spout in place.

Set of pivoting wheels

Hopper extensions To increase hopper capacity, 100, 110, 200, 400, 600 and 900 ltr. available depending per model.

Pivoting wheels This set of pivoting wheels allows the spreader to be easily moved when detached from the tractor.

Calibration container

Agitator with safety grid

Border spreading plate This plate prevents the fertiliser being spread beyond the field boundary. Can be folded from working into transport position from the driver's seat.

Tramline cylinder Using the tramline cylinder the spreader is inclined, allowing spreading up to the border of the field.

Hopper cover Protects the fertiliser from moisture and dirt. For filling the hopper the cover can be easily folded.

Varimeter PS-ED II on-board computer The Varimeter on-board computer allows the metering disc to be adjusted from the tractor cab. Forward speed is continuously checked by a wheel sensor or by radar and transmitted to the Varimeter system which in turn ensures a constant application rate whatever the forward speed. The consequence is an absolutely uniform spreading pattern in the direction of travel. The quantity of fertiliser can be increased or decreased at any time during work. Easy control Operators will find the Varimeter exceptionally easy to operate. All you have to watch over is a control panel with its clearly understandable display.

Spreader Competence Centre Accurate Spreader Settings Based on Expertise

Vicon spreading charts Exact advice for each Vicon SuperFlow spreader at any working width, application rate and driving speed. Direct access to most recent test results at: www.viconspreadingcharts.com

The 3D spread pattern is achieved using a spreader which is mounted on the test rig which rotates the machine through 280°. Continuous measurement at a frequency of 5 HZ over the 80 collecting trays, which are all individually equipped with weigh cells, provide the ultimate in testing accuracy. A single test run provides more than 30.000 measurements! The result is a very precise spread pattern analysis with a high degree of predictability for setting changes to suit different widths and application rates. This allows, faster testing of the various types of fertiliser but at the same time results in using less fertiliser and improved quality for better protection of our environment. The 60m long test hall, with under-floor heating, maintains the humidity at 60 % which allows testing throughout the year; and can accommodate testing of spreading working widths above 54 metres.

The SuperFlow spreaders are known worldwide for their reliability, ease of operation and outstanding accuracy in all conditions. This is the result of many years of practical experience, research and testing. A fertiliser spreader can only be set accurately for rate and overlap using the settings provided by the manufacturer. The Spreader Competence Centre is using the most modern technology available in hard and software, allowing the measurement of complete overlap patterns in 3D. Instead of only measuring the spreading pattern in one line corresponding to the working width, this new technology creates a full pattern showing a complete 3D spreading profile of the fertiliser.
