3.Description of the machine
This section gives a complete overview of the layout and function of the machine. If possible, read it at
the machine. That is the best way for you to familiarise yourself with the machine.
3.1 Structure of the drag hose spreader
The drag hose spreader features large boom arms. The Fliegl screw distributor is integrated in the boom
arms. From here, the slurry is transported to the ground via 40 mm hoses.
3.2 Applications
The Fliegl GARANT is a drag hose spreader for ground-level strip application of liquid farm fertilisers
such as slurry, manure or digestate. From a technical perspective, the spreader can be used on any
type of ground. No liability is assumed for any use deviating from the above.
3.3 Functional description
The GARANT drag hose spreader is supplied with slurry from a tank trailer. The slurry is transported into
the Fliegl screw distributor via the connecting hose, after which the substrate is conveyed to the
discharge hoses.
