Turbo tankers

Turbo tankers

The KAWECO TURBO tankers have been especially developed for agricultural businesses that require optimum capacity. Everything within the Turbo Tanker series is focused on capacity, without any compromises. The tankers stand out thanks to their special construction. The construction allows for working with a special crane arm with a broad range and an enormous pump capacity. In addition to this crane arm, this method allows for high and wide tires to be installed without raising the center of gravity or end up over 4 meters in height. The Turbo tankers are available in tandem, tridem as well as 4-axle versions. All tankers within this series are available in the HYDRO or PTO versions. KAWECO TURBO tankers have been developed to provide enormous capacity, use our experience!

Unique construction

All KAWECO Turbo tankers have a unique and well thought-out construction of chassis, tanker and options. Like the wheel arches, the chassis has been integrated directly in the tanker, which results in a tremendously stable construction. In addition, this building method offers a low center of gravity and the possibility to mount a crane arm on top of the tanker in accordance with statutory provisions. The crane arm is mounted on a special plateau, at the front of the tanker.

Two types

The basic Turbo tanker is filled by means of the centrifugal pump mounted to the crane arm, which in turn is driven by the tractor’s hydraulics. The tanker is emptied by the centrifugal pump at the front of the drawbar. This pump is driven by the PTO shaft of the tractor. This PTO system is characterized by a high capacity, simplicity and low wear. If you want to fill in a different way, and not by means of the crane arm, a Rotary lobe pump is installed in the draw bar instead of the standard centrifugal pump. Both the centrifugal pump in the crane arm and the Rotary lobe pump are operated by their own on-board hydraulics (HYDRO system) on the tanker. The on-board hydraulics increase the capacity of the filling pump to a maximum of 15,000l/min.

Crane arm with centrifugal pump technology

The High-tech KAWECO TURBO crane arm has two 6″ pipes and a rotation angle of 200 degrees. Furthermore, the last part can be extended a further 1,700 mm. This way, the tanker can be filled from a 4-meter tall silo as well as from a 3,80-meter deep slurry pit. In the HYDRO -version, the pump can fill a 25m3-tanker within 2 minutes. The tanker is vented via the crane arm, meaning that the filling is always a clean procedure, and that the tanker is always 100% filled. As an option, the tanker can be unloaded via the crane arm.

Lifting construction

The TURBO tankers with a CAT ||| hitch can be fitted out with nearly any type of slurry spreader. The linkage construction has been built in such a way that the forces are distributed directly from the lift. All tankers are mechanically prepared for the installation of a trailinghose or trailingshoe slurry injector of up to 36 meter.

PROFI III-Series

PROFI III-Serie Slurrytanker

The KAWECO Profi III tanker series offer you a large variety of complete and professional tanks for contractors and farmers. Typical for the PROFI III tankers is the sturdy, independent and twist-lock mounted chassis. This unique construction guarantees that the traction of the tractor gets transmitted to the applicator by the chassis only. This means that the tanker is only used to transport the slurry, and that the chassis is ultra-stable. All PROFI III tankers are equipped with a flow meter with speed-independent dosage through By-Pass regulation. The dosing and all other hydraulic functions are controlled by the KAWECO PREMIUM ISO-BUS on-board computer. In addition, the PROFI III is equipped as standard with a heavy KAWECO LIFTMAX PRO hitch and a Maxi Cut Stone catcher. The PROFI III is equipped for heavy-duty work!

Undercarriage and tanker construction

Not just the weight of the applicator but also the distance behind the tanker determines how heavy the burden on the chassis will be. With more than 50 years of experience in manufacturing and engineering, KAWECO knows how to solve these aspects. The chassis of a PROFI III tanker is the only one who’s specially constructed to transfer the lifting-power to the tractor. Because of the six twist locks the tanker is mounted to the chassis tension free. Whether the chassis undergoes traction or pressure forces, the tanker is mainly used for carrying the slurry. This is why the tanker can have a lighter construction, which will benefit the total weight of the machine.

Hitch

All tankers from the PROFI III series are equipped with the heavy KAWECO Premium hitch. The hitch is fully mounted to the chassis so that there will be no force on the tanker. The lifting cylinders are adjustable in terms of pressuring and relieving pressure. Thanks to the standard control of the hitch at the back of the tanker and the link hooks to the lift bars, the attaching of an applicator is very simple.

Undercarriage

All PROFI III tankers are equipped with a hydraulic axle suspension and a load-independent suspension system. This suspension system has two large spring accumulators that always ensure optimum suspension, whatever the weight of the machine. As an option, the front axle can relieved of pressure, both in tandems and three-axle machines. If load is taken off the axle, the other axles can never be overloaded. All PROFI III tandem tankers have hydraulic forced steering of the rear axle and the PROFI III tridem tankers are steered on the front and the rear axle (all three axles optional). The hydraulic forced steering is controlled via a cylinder on the drawbar or, as an option, via an electronic potentiometer and the standard Load sensing hydraulics.

Pump and slurry piping PTW tanker

Advantages of the PTW-tanker are: precise dosing and high filling capacity. The filling of the tank remains guaranteed, regardless of the thickness of the slurry. In addition, the filling capacity is better maintained with greater suction depth. Possible limitations of the PTW-tanker are: relatively high maintenance costs and more wear and tear. The weight of the machine is also increased by the required piping.

Slurry route and stonecatcher

Every tank of slurry that is transported or unloaded will have to be filled first. Throughout the entire process, the filling capacity mostly depends on the slurry route and on the position of the pump, the pipes and the stonecatcher. The position of a KAWECO pump is always central. In the middle, underneath the tanker. This results in the shortest possible slurry route with fewer unnecessary bends and a central distribution of the weight. With an adjustment of the pipes you can work with maximal capacity if wanted. KAWECO always uses 8″ pipes to the suction side and maximum two times 6″ to the pressure side. If the pump capacity is increased, the pipes will be larger too. Therefore, a 9,000 l/min pump always comes with a 10″ filling piping and two 8″ pipes on the pressure side. The tank gets filled by the double pipes at the pressure side because of the automatic opening of the By-Pass.

Pumps and filling arms

To unburden the driver, KAWECO offers a broad selection of filling arms for the PROFI III series. Every filling arm is preferably placed on the right-hand side of the tanker to create the shortest possible slurry route. In addition to a side filling-arm, KAWECO also provide many crane of swivel arm options. In most cases, KAWECO advises to mount a maxifiller to be able to use the highest capacity possible. This maxifiller contains a hydraulic driven vane wheel that presses the slurry into the suction pipe, which decreases the negative pressure at the pump side. The extra pump support offers many benefits. For example: the negative pressure is strongly reduced, meaning that the pump does not have to suck up the slurry as intensely. This will improve the machine’s lifespan, because parts that will wear, i.e. bearings, rotor and seals, will not be used as intensely.

KAWECO ISO-BUS control

All PROFI III tankers are operated via KAWECO premium control. This control terminal offers many, conveniently arranged options. All systems are equipped with a multifunctional joystick with 24 functions and a 5,7″ Basic Terminal. As an option, we offer an 8″ or an 11″ Touch Terminal, and the PRO joystick.

Weighing and sampling

Thanks to the unique, independent construction of the chassis and tanker all PROFI III tankers can be equipped with a weighing and sampling cabinet. The robust weighing cells are placed in between the chassis and the tanker, using a special assembly process. This way, the height of the tanker and the construction method of the slurry route will not be influenced.

Tyres, wheels and soil pressure

Thanks to the unique construction method the KAWECO PROFI III tankers are very soil-friendly. If so desired, you can opt for a tyre with a 1,800 mm diameter and a width of 800 mm (optionally up to 900 mm). These tyres ensure a larger ‘footprint’, which means the soil won’t be pressured much. To be able to make optimum use of these types, your KAWECO PROFI III can be fitted out with a tire inflation system. This system can be combined with the control computer to simplify operations.

Options for Profi III

Despite the very complete standard set-up of the Profi III tankers there are many options for equipping your KAWECO PROFI III as you like it. Think about traction-increasing options like a Top pressure cylinder or a two-compartment system. See the most common options below.

KAWECO PROFI III standard equipment

ø [mm]:• 2x ø 480
• Frontside left with automatic switching from filling to circulating and potmeter for exact tank content. Because of the automatic turn-off, the tank cannot be over pumped, but automatically switches from filling to circulating. The potentiometer within the filler gauge ensures an exact determination of the tank content.
On the PROFI III, wheel arches are fitted as standard. This allows the mounting of larger tyres with a lower center of gravity of the tank. From 18 m3 onwards, a maximum tyre height of 1800 mm is possible, e.g. a 800/60R 32 tire. Special sizes on request.  
• 6 Twist-Lock connections. The Twist-Lock mounting plates create a powerful base for a Tanker with a heavy hitch. The forces of the linkage are transferred to the chassis and thus put considerably less strain on the tank itself. A weighing and sampling can also be mounted in this way.
The heavy-duty KAWECO LIFTMAX PRO is prepared for heavy-duty work. Heavy-duty injectors as well as wide dragging feet/hose applicators can be mounted in this hitch. The maximum width of the applicator depends on the contents and therefore the length of the tank.
> Fixed lower links CAT III (width of 1,010mm)
> Mechanical adjustable toplink CAT III
> Double working lifting cylinder with ground pressure regulation system
> Lifting cylinder with damping
> Maximum lifting capacity 4.000 kg (depending on tank and injector version)
>  2 buttons on rear side of the tanker to lower or to lift the hitch
> 7-pin plug for lighting of applicator
 
The PROFI III is standard equipped with the most complete cutting cleaner (KAWECO Maxi Cut Premium). This to prevent the pump or distributors of the applicator from being damaged by objects in the slurry. Heavy parts remain at the bottom of the stonecatcher, and smaller parts are cut by the hydraulic cutting head with 3 blades.
• KAWECO Maxi Cut Premium 8″
> 8″ stonecatcher with integrated hydraulic driven cutter (25 l/min)
 
• Hydraulic axle suspension. The PROFI III is equipped with hydraulic axle suspension as standard. This makes the PROFI III comfortable on the road and in the field. In addition, it ensures a good drawbar pressure when working with heavy fertilizers. Optionally, the PROFI III can be equipped with a lift axle (three-axle) or axle relief.)
By using ISOBUS, tractors are easily connected to implements. The KAWECO ISOBUS Control makes it possible to operate the tank through the terminal of the tractor. It is also possible to use the function keys of the tractor. The tanker can also communicate with the GPS-system of the tractor, which makes it possible to close off sections. When speed-dependent dosage is required, the KAWECO ISOBUS Control should be chosen. The position of the By-Pass or the number of rotations of the slurry pump is automatically controlled on the basis of the speed and the entered target value. The KAWECO multi-functional control lever and the KAWECO Basic Terminal are standard supplied. All functions of the slurrytank can be operated via this terminal and in addition 24 functions can be assigned to the joystick. All this results in easy operation and comfortable working!  
KAWECO ISOBUS Control including:
• KAWECO multifunctional joystick with 24 functions
• KAWECO BASIC Terminal
• Operation of automatic dosage control
 

KAWECO PROFI III options

Every KAWECO tank is standard equipped with a high-quality treatment. The inside is fitted with a two-component EPOXY resin. The outside is scoped and sprayed with two-component polyurethane lacquer. The standard color is KAWECO white with orange. Two RAL colors are available as an option. This treatment is many times more durable than a zinc layer and will retain its color even after years.
Filling opening with hydraulic slide on manhole (600 mm). With this filling opening one can easily fill the tank with an external pump. The hatch is equipped with a bearing work to ensure a good sealing.
Two-compartment system, to maintain drawbar pressure during application of slurry (only possible with PTW). This system ensures that optimum pressure is maintained on the drawbar during application of slurry by leaving slurry in the front chamber.
With this sight glass there is optimal visibility to see the filling level of the tank. (260x120mm) glass.
The PROFI III is equipped with hydraulic steering as standard. Heavier machines with larger tires can be fitted with electronic steering for extra maneuverability. This also applies when driving backwards a lot (coupling point 250mm on the left next to the towing point).
Preparation for hydraulic weight transfer cylinder.
The KAWECO top pressure cylinder is designed for extra driving comfort and optimum weight distribution. The cylinder can push as well as pull and can be steplessly adjusted via the ISO-BUS. This allows extra pressure to be applied to the front axle of the tractor on the road or in the field for optimum weight distribution.
• 10″ stonecatcher with integrated hydr. driven cutter
• Required hydraulic volume: 25 l / min
• Only possible with 9.000 l/min pump
A larger pump of 9,000l/min also requires a larger flow of slurry. For maximum capacity, KAWECO builds the complete suction side out of 10″ pipes starting from a 9,000 l/min pump. Also the discharge side is increased from 6″ to 8″ pipes.
This hose holder prevents bending of the 6″ hose that goes to the injector.    
For the transfer of slurry or the emptying of a silo, the PTW tank can be equipped with an extra three-way valve.
• For docking station located at the ground (slide valve mounted at stonecatcher)
• First pivot point controlled by a hydraulic cylinder
• Std. With slide valve and vent valve mounted at the end of the arm

• Std. Lighting for front unit
With the KAWECO FRONT-UNIT it is easy to dock to a nursetank. With the arm in front of the cabin you have perfect visibility. Also, the applicatorboom can always be folded out because you don’t have to stand sideways along the nursetank.
• Required hydraulic volume: 45 l / min
The maxi filler is recommended for thicker slurry or when the slurry has to be sucked out of a deeper cellar. The maxi filler also relieves the slurry pump, making it less vulnerable to wear and tear. In addition, the KAWECO maxi filler guarantees a faster loading process.
• The Guillotine valve will be mounted in stead of the standard valve between the filling arm and the stonecatcher. This guillotine valve ensures that the filling-arm leaks less.  
The KAWECO shift axle ensures that you drive through the same track as little as possible. This ensures minimal ground pressure and less soil damage.
A tire inflation system allows you to let pressure out of the tires when used in the field. The compressor is driven by the Load-Sensing system. Due to the large amount of oil that is required, it is often not possible to applicate and inflate at the same time.

The PROFI II construction method

KAWECO always aims for greater reliability and optimum efficiency. This shows in the special construction of the PROFI II tank, in the chassis and in the drawbar. The large single wheel arch and the integrated modular chassis make the production process of the tanks easier. Both the VC (vacuum) and the PTW (pump tanker) models are made of the same construction.

Unique drawbar

Slender, stable and well thought: this sums up the benefits of the PROFI II drawbar. Created to guarantee a maximum steering angle in any condition. Thanks to the unique construction method for tankers with rigid control, the steering angle doesn’t get affected by the presence of a steering cylinder. The construction can be easily set on any possible tire size, axle base and tractor type.

Modular built

Are you changing your tasks? No problem. Thanks to the modular construction, the PROFI II tankers adjust easily. The slurry arm, the cutting chamber or the lifting device? Everything is easy to replace, meaning your machine will last you for years!

Pump and slurry piping VC tanker

Advantages of the vacuum tank include: little wear and tear, low maintenance costs and low own weight. Disadvantages are: the dosage, the capacity during filling and unloading. Furthermore, during filling, the slurry is, as it were, pulled apart by the air displacement. As a result, the tank is never completely filled.

Pump and slurry piping PTW tanker

Advantages of the PTW-tanker are: precise dosing and high filling capacity. The filling of the tank remains guaranteed, regardless of the thickness of the slurry. In addition, the filling capacity is better maintained with greater suction depth. Possible limitations of the PTW-tanker are: relatively high maintenance costs and more wear and tear. The weight of the machine is also increased by the required piping.

Well developed slurry route

Throughout the entire process, from filling the tank till spreading the slurry, the pump capacity is crucial. A large slurry pump can make a big difference making sure that the slurry reaches the pump in time. Thanks to our many years of experience we fully optimized this aspect at KAWECO. The pump will always be the center of attention. All PROFI II PTW tankers have a mechanically driven pump built in the center of the bottom of the tank. Filling and emptying the tank takes place on the right side of the driving direction of the tank. The left-hand side is used as a pressing side so you can enter the tanker directly via the bypass valve when filling. Thanks to this construction the slurry route is very short and has just a few angled bends. This means that the pump has a maximum entrance for slurry at all times.

KAWECO LIFTMAX PREMIUM Hitch

When working with a larger working width or when the slurry must be injected, a solid lifting construction is required. KAWECO offers the right solution for every tank in the PROFI II series. For perfect distribution of slurry KAWECO developed a three-point lifting construction with double-acting lifting cylinders and pressure regulation. The KAWECO LIFTMAX PREMIUM can carry dynamic loads up to 3,250kg.

KAWECO PROFI II standard equipment

  • 2x ø 480  mm
The volume indicator is on the left, in front of the slurry tank. ISOBUS in combination with the volume indicator enables automatic switching from filling to circulating. The automatic switch off prevents the tank from being over pumped because it switches from filling to circulating. The potmeter within the volume indicator ensures an exact determination of the tank content.
The tanks of the PROFI II series are equipped with an integrated chassis as standard. This gives the slurry tank a low center of gravity and a low own weight.
As standard, the PROFI II tandem (11 m3 to 18 m3) is equipped with a buggy undercarriage.
The PROFI II PTW is standard equipped with a Vogelsang VX186-184Q (4,266 l/min at 600 rpm) with injection system. Optionally, a larger 6,000l/min pump can be chosen.
The Y-piece in the slurry pipe on the discharge side allows the pump to work at maximum capacity at all times. As standard, it is equipped with a manually operated slide valve for dosage adjustment. Optionally, the valve can be replaced by a hydraulic variant, so that the dosage can be adjusted hydraulically. With an ISO-BUS version, the valve is automatically operated to adjust the output quantity (See photo).

KAWECO PROFI II OPTIONS

Every KAWECO tank is standard equipped with a high-quality treatment. The inside is fitted with a two-component EPOXY resin. The outside is scoped and sprayed with two-component polyurethane lacquer. The standard color is KAWECO white with orange. Two RAL colors are available as an option. This treatment is many times more durable than a zinc layer and will retain its color even after years.  
Filling opening with hydraulic slide on manhole (600 mm). With this filling opening one can easily fill the tank with an external pump. The hatch is equipped with a bearing work to ensure a good sealing.  
Two-compartment system, to maintain drawbar pressure during application of slurry (only possible with PTW). This system ensures that optimum pressure is maintained on the drawbar during application of slurry by leaving slurry in the front chamber.  
Wheel arches on a PROFI II single axle allow larger tires to be fitted with a lower center of gravity of the tank. These wheel arches allow the mounting of tires with a height of 1800 mm, for example a 1050/50R32 tire.
With the wheel arches it is possible to fit larger tires with a lower center of gravity on a PROFI II tandem. These wheel arches can be used for example 750/60R 30.5 or 850/50R 30.5.  
If larger tyres than 1670 mm in height are required, large wheel arches must be chosen. With these wheel arches it is possible to fit larger tires with a lower center of gravity on a PROFI II tandem. This makes it possible to fit tires with a height of 1800 mm, e.g. an 800/60R 32 tire. These large wheel arches are only available on PROFI II tanks with a capacity of 14, 16, 18 or 20 m3.
The hydraulic forced steering offers many advantages. For example, there is less tire wear when driving forwards and backwards because the wheels are steered at all times and do not need to be locked. In addition, there is less structural damage during headland turns because the wheels actively follow. The forced steering as mounted on the PROFI II can be adjusted in aggressiveness of the steering. By adjusting the steering cylinder in relation to the fork, the steering aggressiveness is adjusted. This also offers the advantage that the steering cylinder is mounted in the drawbar, which protects the steering cylinder from dirt. The connection between the tractor and the steering cylinder consists of a simple rod, which is fitted as standard 250 mm next to the towing point.  
An important advantage of hydraulic drawbar suspension is that large shocks are absorbed during transport or in the field. This damping benefits both driving comfort and service life. When working in hilly areas, the angle of the tank can be adjusted at any time so that the slurry runs in the right direction. In addition, the height of the drawbar can be adjusted so that it can always be easily adapted to most towbar heights.  
The ECO-Motion two-speed gearbox offers a solution for tractors with only a limited number of PTO speed options. The gearbox is available on KAWECO’s PTW tanks with a direct mechanical drive. A directly driven positive displacement pump has a maximum speed of 600 rpm. If, under certain circumstances, it is desirable to demand a lot of tractor power, for example when fertilizing arable land, the two-stage gearbox offers the solution by reducing the input pump speed. The gearbox can be switched hydraulically when stationary.  
The KAWECO Pumpguard offers a solution for undesirable, heavy parts in the manure, such as stones. Due to the large capacity of the stonecatcher, the flow of slurry is slowed down, leaving heavy objects lying on the ground. When there is a lot of forage and straw residue in the manure, KAWECO recommends choosing the KAWECO Maxi Cut Premium 8″.  
A stonecatcher prevents blockages and protects the rotary lobe pump from foreign objects. The large capacity of the cleaner slows down the flow of slurry, leaving heavy objects on the ground. The hydraulically driven cutting head reduces the amount of forage or string residue to such an extent that it passes through the pump and distributors without any problems. Each time the cutting head is controlled again, it will change direction of rotation so that the rotor plate always remains clean. The rotating cutting knives with bearings are preloaded onto the hardox rotor plate by means of a spring and nut. As a result, they are continuously sharpened so that the cutting action remains guaranteed. KAWECO PROFI II Maxi Cut Premium 8"
A hydraulically operated door is available for easy emptying of the cutting cleaner.
The hose holder prevents movement and/or bending of the 6″ slurry hose that goes to the fertilizer. In addition, the hose holder ensures that the slurry hose can move along with the fertilizer.
The 8″ andock funnel is located at the top, back of the slurry tank. The pipe of the andock funnel comes out of the middle of the tank. This is above the hydraulic connections and lifting device or attachment points of the fertilizer. All this makes the PROFI II also extremely suitable as a transport tank.
The PROFI II can be equipped with 8″ dock arm. The suction arm eases the daily work and ensures that you can fill up quickly and easily with a docking station.
  • Optionally in combination with a maxi filler for optimal capacity.
KAWECO offers a wide choice of filling arms to relieve the strain on you as a driver and to increase capacity. Each filling arm can be mounted on the left or right. When mounted on the right side, the shortest slurry piping is created and therefore this position is preferred.
  • Lower pivot point controlled by cylinder
  • Upper pivot point controlled by cylinder
  • Standard: slider between suction arm and cutting device
  • Standard: pressure relief valve to vent the filling arm immediately after filling

KAWECO offers a wide choice of filling arms to relieve the strain on you as a driver and to increase capacity. Each filling arm can be mounted on the left or right. When mounted on the right side, the shortest slurry piping is created and therefore this position is preferred.
  • A pivot point (below) controlled by cylinder
  • Standard: pressure relief valve in end andock arm
The hydraulically driven paddle wheel of the maxi filler presses slurry into the suction line, reducing the under pressure on the pump side (in the case of PTW slurry tanks). Because the slurry pump needs to pull the slurry less intensively, the service life of the manure pump is extended. Wear and tear parts such as bearings, rotors and seals are less intensively loaded. In addition, the KAWECO maxi filler guarantees a faster loading process, which increases the capacity. In the case of vacuum tanks, the maxi filler ensures a better filling level of the tank.
  • Hydraulic power required: 45 l/min
The knife slide consists of a hardox blade operated by two cylinders that completely seals off the suction line to the maxi filler. This ensures that leakage is kept to a minimum. The knife slide is mounted between the filling arm and stonecatcher instead of the standard slider.
A PROFI II can be fitted with hydraulic axle suspension for maximum comfort on the road and in the field. It is also advisable to equip your PROFI II with hydraulic axle suspension when attaching heavier fertilizers. With an 18m3 with linkage, a hydraulic axle suspension is required. The PROFI II is fitted with hydraulic axle suspension as standard from 20m3.
When soil pressure is an important issue during fertilization, the KAWECO Premium shift axle offers the most advantages. By extending the front wheels by 750 mm, the track of the front axle is shifted, reducing structural damage caused by repeated driving on the same track. In addition, the shift axle offers an advantage in hilly areas because its stability is significantly improved. The sliding axle consists of three tubes which are sliding in and out by hydraulic cylinders. The tubes move over low-maintenance nylon sliding strips.
Within the capacity of the tire, the tire inflation system offers the possibility to adjust the air pressure to any desired situation. By reducing the air pressure during fertilizing, the weight will be distributed over a larger contact surface, which will result in less structural damage to the soil. During transport the tire can be inflated, which saves fuel and reduces tyre wear. PTG works with a double line system. This consists of a steering line and a line for inflating and deflating, which guarantees that in the event of complications, the tires do not deflate undesirably. In addition, PTG works with a rotary conduit that ensures that no lines need to be mounted outside. With PTG’s digital system, two air pressure values can be preset. This makes it possible to quickly switch between field and transport position.

Your KAWECO tank can be equipped with an automatic lubrication system that periodically lubricates all lubrication points of the tank. This saves you valuable time and ultimately maintenance costs.
  • Automatic lubrication on the injector is possible at extra cost and is not included in the standard calculation.
The KAWECO Easy Go offers the solution when a limited number of tank functions need to be operated by one function of the tractor or when Load Sensing is not available. In addition, general electricity (beacons etc.) can be controlled via the Easy-Go cabinet.
The KAWCO Easy Bus is the simple version of the KAWECO ISOBUS-Control. The Easy Bus does not come with a terminal as standard because operation is possible via the tractor terminal. The control functions in the same way as the Load-Sensing control box but via the tractor terminal. The advantage of this ISOBUS operation is that the system can be used with various tractor terminals as well as external terminals. The Easy Bus can be expanded with a flow meter and manual dosage. When fully automatic dosing is required, you can choose for the KAWECO ISOBUS Control.
The KAWECO Load Sensing comfort hydraulics adjusts the oil flow according to the demand of the tank. In this way, oil is not pumped around unnecessarily, thus saving fuel and power. Many hydraulic functions can be controlled via this control system. In addition, there is the possibility of sequential switching so that several functions can be operated in succession by operating one joystick. Think for example of starting or stopping fertilizing. With this option, KAWECO supplies a solid joystick box with clear symbols for optimum ease of operation!
The use of ISOBUS makes it easy to couple tractors with equipment. The KAWECO ISOBUS Control makes it possible to operate the tank via the tractor terminal. In addition, it is possible to use the tractor’s function keys. The tank is also communicable with the GPS system of the tractor, making it possible, for example, to close off sections. If speed-dependent dosing is desired, the KAWECO ISOBUS Control must be selected. The position of the By-Pass or the number of revolutions of the slurry pump is automatically controlled on the basis of the speed and the entered target value. The KAWECO joystick and the KAWECO Basic Terminal are supplied as standard. All functions of the slurry tank can be controlled via this terminal and, in addition, 24 functions can be assigned to the joystick. All this results in easy operation and comfortable working!  
The KAWECO TOUCH 800 is an operating terminal with a touch screen. The touchscreen allows easy and quick operation of the KAWECO slurry tank. The KAWECO TOUCH 800 replaces the KAWECO Basic Terminal.  
The KAWECO TOUCH 1200 is an operating terminal with a large touch screen. The touchscreen allows easy and quick operation of the KAWECO slurry tank. The large screen makes it possible to display multiple applications simultaneously (up to five). The KAWECO TOUCH 1200 replaces the KAWECO Basic Terminal.  
The KAWECO ISOBUS joystick PRO is a joystick with nine buttons and two positions. This allows a total of 18 functions of the slurry tank to be operated. Furthermore, the filling arm can be operated proportionally because the joystick can be moved in four directions. The proportional control ensures less wear and tear on the turntables and optimal ease of operation.    
The Hydro Dynamic makes it possible to spread slurry continuously adjustable. With this system, the application can be quickly controlled when working with section closure, for example. It is a hydraulically closed system that drives the slurry pump continuously adjustable. The other functions of the slurry tank are controlled via the Load Sensing of the tractor. Dosing is done by regulating the number of pump rotations. This eliminates the function of the By-Pass during spreading. In addition, a flow meter is no longer required because the amount of passing slurry is determined on the basis of the number of pump rotations. KAWECO PROFI II - Hydro Dynamic KAWECO PROFI II HYDRO_DYNAMIC
The Hydro Dynamic Dual makes it possible to spread slurry continuously adjustable. With this system, the spreading can be quickly controlled when, for example, working with a section closure. It is a hydraulic system with a double hydro pump. One pump continuously supplies the manure pump with oil, this is a closed system. The second pump continuously supplies oil to the three functions with the highest oil demand. These are often: cutting device, maxi filler and distributor(s). The second pump is a Load Sensing system in which a separate Bucher block is controlled. The other functions of the slurry tank are controlled via the Load Sensing of the tractor. Dosing takes place by regulating the number of pump revolutions. This eliminates the function of the By-Pass during spreading. In addition, a flow meter is no longer required because the amount of passing manure is determined on the basis of the number of pump revolutions. The advantage of the Hydro Dynamic Dual is that it supplies the slurry pump and Load Sensing block with enough oil at a lower engine speed.

PROFI I-Series

PROFI I-Series slurrytanker

The KAWECO PROFI I slurry tankers stand out because of their light, yet stable construction. The tankers can easily be fitted with a dribble bar applicator with a working width up to 15m. Thanks to the modular set-up the tankers are easy to adjust according to your needs.

Specifications

Net contents [L]: Tandem 10.000(ESP), 12.500(ESP), 14.400, 16.200, 17.600 and 20.000
Undercarriage: Roll-over Buggy
Control system: Rear axle lagging control (rigid control is optional)
Axle base [mm]: 14,400 L = 1,700 mm. 16,200 & 17,600 = 1,810 mm.

Be ready for the future

All PROFI I slurry tankers are mechanically able to fit an additional dribble bar applicator. This means that you are always ready for the future, even with changing legislations. Thanks to the stable construction of the tanker, the applicator (trailing shoe or dribble bar) can be upgraded to a maximum working width of 15m. KAWECO has strong relationships with several suppliers of premium applicators.

Tanker and chassis

Integrating the undercarriage in the tanker decreases the tare weight while at the same it increases the stability of the machine. Thanks to the double wheel arches, the axles can be mounted on top of the spring assembly of the buggy. This results in a low center of gravity and a maximum height of 3.25m (with a tire size of 750/60R30.5). For optimum protection the tanker undergoes a special treatment. The tanker gets covered with a zinc layer (galvanization). To be able to spray the zinc layer properly, it gets thoroughly sanded first. This treatment results in a tanker protection that will be corrosion-proof for years and that is easy to clean. An option is to spray the tanker in two different colors. The inside of the tanker is treated with a special epoxy-resin. Thanks to its thickness and flexibility the tanker is better able to withstand any circumstances.

Drawbar

The very narrow drawbar makes a PROFI I tanker very easy to maneuver. The tankers standardly comes with a rear free steering axle. When the tanker is optionally fitted with forced steering, the steering cylinder is placed on the left, next to the drawbar. Because of the crash protection the maximum steering angle is limited. The system is installed to protect the steering cylinder. The coupling height can be changed with the extra holes in the drawbar. As an option, the drawbar can be fitted with hydraulic drawbar suspension, which results in greater comfort.

Pumps and slurry piping with PTW tankers

The PROFI I tankers are available as vacuum (VC version), rotary lobe pump (PTW version) and eccentric screw pump (ESP version) tankers. By default, the PTW tankers are delivered with a Vogelsang VX186-184Q pump. This pump delivers 4.266 l/min at 600rpm. Thanks to a unique slanted plate in front of the entry of the pump any contamination will be caught in between the two rotors. This results in less damage to the lobes and the casing of the pump. Click here to see a video from Vogelsang Injection System. As an option we have a Vogelsang VX186-260Q pump with a capacity of 6,000l/min at 600rpm available. To guarantee a high degree of operational reliability and high pump capacity the PTW models come with a standard special pump chamber. This is mounted before the pump and guarantees a minimum amount of slurry in the intake piping of the pump. Thanks to the continuous filling of the pump it can never run dry and it will reach a negative pressure a lot faster. This will ultimately increase the capacity of the pump and reduce wear.

Advantages of the PTW-tanker are: precise dosing and high filling capacity. The filling of the tank remains guaranteed, regardless of the thickness of the slurry. In addition, the filling capacity is better maintained with greater suction depth. Possible limitations of the PTW-tanker are: relatively high maintenance costs and more wear and tear. The weight of the machine is also increased by the required piping.

Pumps and slurry piping at VC tankers

All PROFI I vacuum tanks are equipped as standard with very high quality BP vacuum pumps. The standard pumps have a compressor capacity of no less than 13,500 L/min. This capacity is realized by a rotor with 4 inclined rotor blades. The blades are cooled and lubricated by an oil drip pump. In order to further improve the cooling and to keep the capacity at the same level during the work, the pumps are standard equipped with direct air injection. When the pump is at a standstill, a special valve ensures that the vacuum is maintained.

Advantages of the vacuum tank include: little wear and tear, low maintenance costs and low own weight. Disadvantages are: the dosage, the capacity during filling and unloading. Furthermore, during filling, the slurry is, as it were, pulled apart by the air displacement. As a result, the tank is never completely filled.

Pumps and slurry piping at ESP tankers

The PROFI I ESP tanks are standard equipped with high quality WANGEN worm pumps, with a capacity of 4,000 l/min at 540 rpm. Larger worm pumps are optionally available. The WANGEN pump has a compact design and is built lengthwise underneath the tank. In this way, the slurry route consists of as few bends as possible. Just like the PTW version, the ESP version is equipped with a three-way valve for switching between filling and emptying.

The advantages of the worm pump are: the large passage of unwanted parts in the slurry and the low maintenance costs.

KAWECO PROFI I OPTIONS

Every KAWECO tank is standard equipped with a high-quality treatment. The inside is fitted with a two-component EPOXY resin. The outside is scoped and sprayed with two-component polyurethane lacquer. The standard color is KAWECO white with orange.
Two RAL colors are available as an option.

This treatment is many times more durable than a zinc layer and will retain its color even after years.

Two-compartment system, to maintain drawbar pressure during application of slurry (only possible with PTW/ESP). This system ensures that optimum pressure is maintained on the drawbar during application of slurry by leaving slurry in the front chamber.

Filling opening with hydraulic slide on manhole (600 mm). With this filling opening one can easily fill the tank with an external pump. The hatch is equipped with a bearing work to ensure a good sealing.

Hydraulic forced steering: steering rod on the left 250mm next to and at the same height as the towing point. For heavier machines with larger tires, it is recommended to use hydraulic steering for better manoeuvrability. This also applies when driving backwards a lot.

Hydraulic drawbar suspension. The PROFI I can be equipped with a suspended drawbar. This enhances the driving comfort. Especially when driving a lot on the road.

Maxi filler 8 “mounted centrally under the tanker. With the KAWECO maxi filler you can fill from both sides with a hand valve. The maxi filler is recommended for thicker slurry or when the slurry has to be drawn from a deeper cellar. The maxi filler also relieves the slurry pump, making it less susceptible to wear and tear.

Stonecatcher 8 “without cutting unit. The Stone Catcher is recommended when there are often objects in the slurry such as stones. To prevent damage to the pump or distributors of the applicator, it is in many cases advisable to build a stone catcher. Even in the case of a vacuum tank, this prevents blockages in the distributor(s).

Stonecatcher 8 “with hydraulically driven cutting unit (25 l / min). The Stone Catcher is recommended when there are often objects in the slurry such as stones. To prevent damage to the pump or distributors of the applicator, it is in many cases advisable to build a stone catcher. Even in the case of a vacuum tank, this prevents blockages in the distributor(s).

8″ Andockpoint on top/back of the tanker. With an andock funnel, the PROFI I is also perfect for use as a nursetank.

Docking arm 8″ right with valve and hydraulic slewing ring.
The suction arm relieves you of daily work and allows you to fill up quickly and easily with a docking station. If there is a wish for a larger suction arm, choose the PROFI II.
Optionally in combination with a maxi filler for optimal capacity.

Control: 1 DA tractor can be used for 5 different functions. The Easy-Go is the easiest option for joystick control. When choosing a control system, it is important to consider how many functions the tanker needs. Up to 5 functions can be operated with an Easy-Go system. When a lot of oil is required or a applicator needs to be controlled, you can choose for a Load-Sensing control.

The KAWCO Easy Bus is the simple version of the KAWECO ISOBUS-Control. The Easy Bus does not come with a terminal as standard because operation is possible via the tractor terminal. The control functions in the same way as the Load-Sensing control box but via the tractor terminal. The advantage of this ISOBUS operation is that the system can be used with various tractor terminals as well as external terminals. The Easy Bus can be expanded with a flow meter and manual dosage (for PROFI II).

The Load-Sensing adjusts the oil flow to the demand of the tank, so that oil is not pumped around unnecessarily. With Load-Sensing many functions are easy to operate. KAWECO Load sensing valve block with filter and assembly board with control box.
