The pump and the cutter are mounted together and optimally arranged to one another. This result in short suction pipes, a flow which is directly pumped to the cutting screen and a very compact design. Therefore, the pumping systems required only a minimal footprint but are nevertheless easily accessible for maintenance and service.

The CC series offers many options for replacing parts. If the pump needs to be operational again quickly, the stator and rotor are replaced as a single unit. It is also possible to replace the entire rotating unit. Alternatively, the stator and rotor can be replaced one after the other, as in conventional progressive cavity pumps.

One key feature of the CC series is its swiveling mechanism, which means that the pipe does not need to be disassembled. The rotor and stator are swiveled upwards or to the side as a single unit.

The shaft seal in the CC series is sealed using the tried-and-tested Quality Cartridge, which can be replaced without needing to open the pump. When the motor is removed, the seal is accessible from the drive end, where it can be replaced with just a few motions. Of course, it can also be changed through the pumping chamber after dismounting the cardan shaft.

Thanks to the optimized suction housing, the large free passage of up to 108 mm in the CC series pumps is ensured throughout the entire length. This prevents clogging and blockages in the suction housing caused by foreign matter and disruptive matter.

A digital pressure gauge is available for the BackPac system to monitor the pressure at which the pump is pumping the liquid manure into the umbilical system and onto the field. The measured values are transmitted to the terminal in the driver's cab so that the driver can react accordingly. Flow rate recording by a counter function enables the values to be assigned to specific customers or fields.

The decision on dribble bar or trailing shoe depends on the condition of the soil and the growing crop. In both cases, the BackPac features facilitate liquid manure spreading using umbilical system technology and contribute to the application of liquid manure at the base of the plants for efficient use of nutrients while protecting the soil.

To prevent damage to the system and umbilical system as well as excessive liquid manure flow during turning, the control modules for hose groups and part-width valves can be preset so that they react automatically with a single push of a button when driving. If there are lifting devices on trailing shoe systems, they are also raised automatically.

Liquid manure, a valuable commodity, must be spread evenly and reliably in the distribution hoses. Vogelsang precision distributors permit precise distribution of the nutrients with a distribution coefficient of less than 5 percent. This makes spreading a safe and reliable process without fluctuations – which also guarantees even plant growth.

The Comfort Flow Control seals the discharge hoses, reliably preventing them from dripping.

The separate DropStop can be used to prevent dripping or increase distance from the ground during spreading. This is done by folding the hose tips up 180° without moving the entire linkage into the transport position.

On request, end hoses can be delivered in DN 50 to ensure that the whole process runs even more smoothly.

Maximum hose diameter for maximum spreading performance from precision distributor to hose end, with a uniform DN 50 hose nominal diameter.

The linkages are fixed onto the tanker.

The liquid manure outlet pipes are mounted on the coulter blade and channel the liquid manure onto the soil.

The adapter frame connects the tillage unit to the precision distributor. It is hot-dip galvanized for maximum durability.

The hydraulic overload protection ensures that arms can deflect upwards in case of overloads. This function is infinitely variable, and can be adjusted to suit the soil conditions.

The coulter blade cuts crop residue and growth so that downstream tools can work the tillage zone easily and cleanly.

A parallelogram design ensures constant soil tillage depth.

The loosening and fertilizing cultivator arm loosens the soil at the required depth, after which the liquid manure is stored in the underground depot via a height-adjustable outlet tube.

Two ridging disks keep the soil in the tillage zone, form a ridge of finely crumbled soil and can be adjusted on three levels in relation to the injector tine.

The press wheels are located on the end of each XTill row unit. Two press wheels form the loosened seed bed and provide the required reconsolidation. A wide range of variants is available to provide the right solution for any soil characteristics.

The unit is designed to be mounted on a 3-point hydraulic system.

The ExaCut ECQ, a further development of the ECL, is operated by means of rotor technology. It also has new features that put it in the top spot in the market: unbeatable distribution accuracy and maintainability accompanied by an increase in service life and lower power requirements.

We also offer an optional splash plate for the UniSpread. No additional control unit is required for the spreading process with this wide distributor.

One control unit is required to fold the supporting frame of the UniSpread and another one to fold the booms. One control unit fewer is required if the sequence control is selected. Because the booms are unfolded before the supporting frame during the unfolding procedure. The folding procedure works in exactly the same way.

The holding and security device is installed as a standard in the UniSpread. A great advantage is that it is not screwed to the tanker. This makes it unnecessary to install this mounting device when installing the tank and no extra hydraulic line has to be laid.

The integrated crash protection is ensured by the shear bolt between the main arm and boom. In this way damage to the entire boom is prevented if a collision occurs.

With its rotor technology, the compact ExaCut ECL achieves a very good cutting and distribution effect. The steady rotor movements make for very smooth running. The liquid manure is distributed homogeneously among the 20 to 48 outlets. With hose diameters of up to DN 60, even large liquid manure quantities can be processed. With the self-adjusting and self-sharpening cutting system, we achieve an extremely long lifetime in combination with maximum maintainability. The integrated heavy material separator protects the complete spreading system against troublesome foreign matter.

The plastic compound used for the BlackBird hoses is highly robust and elastic. This makes the hoses resistant to the effects of chemicals and environmental influences. It is also black for greater UV resistance

Modified leaf springs compensate for any oscillations out in the field and during folding procedures and transport. Hydraulic cylinders with end-position damping make for smooth folding processes that don’t put too much strain on the linkage.

A flow-optimized manure discharge ensures that the manure discharge is controlled and even. The functional skid geometry combs through the crops in clean, even furrows for extremely precise manure spreading.

The integrated holding and security device in the boom makes the installation easier.

The unit is designed to be mounted on either a 3 or 4-point hydraulic system.

The rear TeleShift allows you to shorten the transport dimensions of your unit, leaving almost no linkage protrusion at the rear. This compactness makes maneuvering much easier.

The front TeleShift allows you to combine larger linkages with compact tanks. It can also be used to set up various working widths without protrusion.

When this option is selected, the flow of liquid manure and oil to one of the two precision distributors is sealed off. This allows you to adjust to a half-tramline over larger working widths and smooth out wedges in the field. It also prevents overlapping.

DoubleFold can be used to manually reduce the working width of your unit. The outer frame elements are folded in using a hinge, and the corresponding discharge hoses can be connected via the CFC.

In order to ensure that the linkage follows the soil contour as closely as possible, the control can be used to adjust its angle.

The outer TopSwing elements can be folded in 180° and laid on the base linkage, significantly reducing the transport dimensions of your unit. This prevents protrusion at the front of the vehicle and means that linkages with large working widths can also be mounted on compact tankers. Different working widths and part widths can also be implemented section by section in combination with the CFC.

The hose is a key factor in spreading technology. As such, the hose material and composition of the plastic have been developed specially for Vogelsang over several decades. The combination of raw materials that we use for our special hose is characterized by high robustness, elasticity, and UV resistance. This makes the hoses resistant to the effects of chemicals and environmental influences. The unique manufacturing technique we use for our rigid end hoses brings additional benefits. The hose sections used as end hoses are always straight and absolutely dimensionally stable. Your advantage: there is no need for guide elements, which are heavy and prone to wear, and the hoses always remain open and do not stick. Furthermore, this rigid end hose configuration ensures defined strip spacing.

The dribble bar linkage adapts to the contour of the soil. This reduces the load on the vehicle coupling and the entire frame structure. It also means that the hose ends are kept close to the soil at all times, and ensures that the liquid manure is deposited precisely across the entire working width.

The discharge hoses on the Vogelsang dribble bar systems all have similar lengths, thanks to the optimized hose layout. The liquid manure reaches the soil almost simultaneously from each one, and spreading across the entire working width and length is also guaranteed. This not only ensures optimum lateral distribution accuracy in the linkage, but also prevents the V shape that can otherwise form.

When driving on the road, the hoses of the dribble bar system are rotated upward 180° so that they are vertical. This reliably prevents leakage and keeps the road clean and safe.

The unit is designed to be mounted on a 4-point hydraulic system.

In order to prevent danger when pulling out onto the road and generally keep you safe on the road, the front tank is equipped with a camera system.

If you are already using your ISOBUS port for a tanker, we can deliver a terminal for you separately.

There are a number of different additives that can be added and spread for different purposes, such as phosphorus, Piadin and trace elements.

The pH measurement sensor is an important part of the SyreN liquid manure stabilization system, as it ensures that the added acid is effective. The pH sensor is located on the distributor of the dribble bar linkage, and measures the liquid manure after the acid has been added, just before it is spread.

In order to ensure that no-one comes into contact with the acid, the SyreN liquid manure stabilization system is equipped with a dry coupling handle that fits the spider installed as standard on the pallet tank. There is also another coupling sleeve on the water tank next to the pallet tank. When you’ve spread your last load of liquid manure and want to detach the SyreN system from your tractor, simply move the SyreN dry coupling handle from the pallet tank onto the coupling sleeve of the water tank. Once this is done, a rinsing program will activate in the tractor cab terminal.

The liquid manure acidification system SyreN is built to the latest standard for communication between tractor and device (ISOBUS). As a result, it can use the tractor’s existing electronics systems. This means there is no need to lay new cables or install new control boxes in the cab. There is also an option to retrofit a terminal.

Comfort Flow Control (CFC) is the universal solution when it comes to shutting off hoses in any system: part-width section cut-offs, tramline switching or DropStop systems. The CFC is installed in the hose outlets of the spreader device, downstream of the distributor. Each hose or group of hoses can be shut off from the cab. The CFC is versatile and can be used in any unit – dribble bar systems, trailing shoe systems or tillage units.

The compact sealing package ensures reliable separation between hydraulic oil and medium. The sealing package prevents the different substances from mixing. With this leakage check feature, leaks can be detected quickly and easily.

The ExaCut distributors can be factory-fitted with side filling connections in different lengths and diameters. This allows flexibility in terms of connecting the distributor to the existing supply line. A TopInlet is also possible: an additional slurry inlet at the top of the distributor.

The eccentric adjuster ensures that the cutting blades always exert a constant pressure on the cutting ring. Together with the optimized cutting blades, this guarantees consistent and reliable cutting performance.

Readjusting the blades in the RotaCut RCX with the ACCplus ensures that there is permanent, direct contact between the blades and the screen. It is only this contact which makes it possible to reliably chop down materials with long fibers. In addition to this, the ACCplus monitors the state of the blades online, shows it on an external display and in the control system during normal operation.

Both the RotaCut RCX cutter as well as the progressive cavity pump in the CC series are driven by a sturdy helical shaft mounting geared motor with a high operating factor. This is mounted directly onto the drive shaft so an additional coupling is not needed.

The housing parts are made of steel. The torsionally stiff design is the basis for the intensive preparation of the biomass in the smallest space. Hot dip galvanization protects the parts of the housing from corrosion.

Both for the progressive cavity pump in the CC series as well as for the RotaCut in the RCX series, all of the necessary service and maintenance work is easy to do on site, without having to disassemble the lines going to and from the units or any parts of the PreMix

The unique arrangement of the components and the direct connection between the RotaCut and the suction housing of the pump unit creates an extremely compact feeding system which is easy to integrate, even when retrofitting on existing plants. For four steps, you only need a few square meters, which includes space for service and maintenance.

The PreMix is distinguished by its unique concept: In a PreMix heavy material is separated out and material with long fibers is cut before entering the pump unit. This enables even difficult and demanding input materials to be reliably prepared, protecting the pump unit and significantly extending the service life.

All PCUs are equipped for access via remote maintenance. If access is activated and made possible, operators benefit from uncomplicated software updates and, when events call for it, we can quickly and easily support the customer.

Optionally, Vogelsang can also offer control hardware and software including the sensors from just one source.

The optional wide screen touch display offers an overview of all of the important information and settings, even outside of the central control. Built into the control cabinet door, all important details are easy to access and set via the intuitive menu.

On request, the Performance Control Unit (PCU) is available in a variant with a PROFINet connection.

The progressive cavity pump used in the CC series is optionally available with a two-stage geometry. This increases the permissible differential pressure, halving the pressure difference per stage, resulting in a longer service life, even with strongly abrasive media and/or high pressures.

A generously sized cardan shaft with two cardan joints ensures reliable transmission of the drive power in the CC series from the parallel shaft geared motor to the rotor. A sturdy sleeve – which doesn’t even have to be disassembled when changing the rotor – protects the shaft against solid and fibrous matter and against foreign matter in the medium.

Both the mixing chamber as well as the mixing shaft, as well as all of the steel parts in the mixing chamber are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel or some other corrosion-resistant material. The sturdy design is the basis for the intensive and energy efficient preparation of the biomass.

The CC Mix is driven with a sturdy parallel shaft geared motor with a high operating factor. This is mounted directly onto the drive shaft so an additional coupling is not needed.

Both the progressive cavity pump in the CC series as well as the components in the mixing chamber are easy to service. On the basis of the QuickService concept for the CC series, all of the parts, from the rotor-stator unit, via the shaft seal through to the tools on the mixing shaft are easy to replace on site.

Thanks to its compact design, the machine is easy to integrate. It is even no problem to retrofit it into an existing system. For three steps in your process, you only need a few square meters, which includes space for service and maintenance.

At the base of the mixing chamber, directly before the pump unit, the CC Mix has a foreign matter separator as standard, which separates out stones and metal parts using gravity.

The unique design of the CC Mix stands for the best possible mixing performance with minimal energy requirements. Through the intelligent arrangement of solid and liquid feeds as well as the mixing shaft, floating layers are avoided and the biomass is actively transported in the liquid, to intensively mix both to a homogeneous organic suspension.

All components of the DisRuptor are made of steel. The housing is completely galvanized. A stainless steel variant is available for applications with particularly aggressive media. In this version, all wetted parts are made of stainless steel, including the DisRuptor ring and DisRuptor wings.

For simple installation and a firm stand, the DisRuptor is available fully installed on a steel base. It has forklift pockets to allow the unit to be easily transported and positioned.

For individual adjustment of the DisRuptor to the local situation and the medium, there are two different types of DisRuptor pot on offer. Customers can choose from the Inline pot with a permissible pressure up to 2 bar. It is very easy to retrofit, as the inlet and outlet are opposite one another. As an alternative, the Compact XL pot facilitates pressures up to 4 bar.

Both parts of the DisRuptor ring are hardened with a special process, and have a wear-resistant surface. The DisRuptor wings are made of hardened special steel. In addition, the sophisticated geometry and layout of the parts ensure a long service life.

All DisRuptor units have a hydraulic support for swivel the DisRuptor head upwards. That allows the DisRuptor to be opened effortlessly, e.g. for service and maintenance.

Thanks to the QuickService design, service and maintenance are quick and easy in the DisRuptor: Swivel up the DisRuptor head provides optimal access to the function unit. Maintenance, adjusting the function unit or replacing parts are simple and can be done in just a few steps.

The sophisticated design of the function unit makes intensive disintegration possible at a high throughput and low drive power. With just 15 kW of installed capacity, up to 200 m3/h of organic suspension can be treated. This combination is what makes mechanical disintegration viable.

The variable function unit is the DisRuptor’s outstanding feature. It allows the DisRuptor to be adjusted individually for the biomass and the application. The gap between the DisRuptor ring and the wing is infinitely adjustable. In this way, wear can be compensated quickly and simply, without having to replace parts.

Depending on the customer's requirements, we offer the necessary control technology for manual operation of the individual components up to control with touch panel and intuitive user interface.

Drive up, set up, connect, get started. Assembled on a trailer, the hoisting gear pro complete solution is the flexible variant for inter-company use. All components including hydraulics are fully assembled and connected to the controller. A generously dimensioned projection and ejection height make it possible, for example, to separate directly on high trailers.

Compact unit including pump, optional shredder and the XSplit separator, which is folded out and positioned in an elevated position by means of hydraulics. Completely pre-assembled including static calculation, the basic hoisting gear is the ideal solution for changing locations.

With the stud frame, the XSplit is easily and quickly elevated. Pumps and, if necessary, a shredder can also be assembled on the base frame, so that the installation effort on site is reduced.

The generous end cover provides easy access to the sieve and screw. In addition, four 6" cleaning ports provide good access to the interior of the XSplit. Service and maintenance work is completed quickly.

The sieve basket of the XSplit separator consists of three sieve elements. These are individually replaceable and enable optimum service performance and individual adaptation to the output medium.

The length of the pressing area can be adjusted by means of a threaded spindle. A longer pressing area means higher dry matter content of the solid phase.

The drive motor is located on the solid side and thus has no contact with the liquid during the separation. The conveying and separation direction is towards the drive. Therefore, the XSplit does not require an extra mechanical seal or radial shaft seal.

The wear-resistant elastomer closure disc ensures automatic plug formation without the use of additional auxiliary agents.

The screw of the XSplit press screw separator is made of stainless steel and specially armored for extra durability. Fiber pockets are integrated for self-cleaning.

The inlet nozzle, like the filtrate nozzle, can be rotated in 90° increments and can be mounted both at the top and at the bottom in a connector size of 6". This allows flexible adaptation to the respective situation on site.

The Performance Control Unit (PCU) for the PreMix or RotaCut RCX is set up for monitoring the DRS in automatic mode. Alternatively, a separate Performance Control Unit (PCU) is available for the DRS.

A hydraulic unit suitable for hydraulic operation of the DRS piston and slide valve can also be arranged to save space.

Slide valve and DRS piston are hydraulically operated. The entire process is monitored by a control. Only the catcher has to be emptied manually at the end.

Manually monitored by the operator, the slide valve is opened and closed using a hand wheel; however, the DRS piston is conveniently operated hydraulically.

In the basic version, the slide valve is opened and closed using a hand wheel, and the DRS piston is driven by a manual pump.

Thanks to a free passage of 180 mm, even larger heavy material is reliably discharged.

The medium trapped in the heavy matter separator is returned to the machine via a check valve. Only 15 l of heavy material and medium are discharged.

The Debris Removal System is built to be tough and durable. This minimizes maintenance work.

Container with rollers and forklift pockets optimally coordinated with the DLU. The liquid-tight steel trough holds 600 liters and is easy to empty thanks to its tipping mechanism.

The DLU is driven by a compact, torque-controlled 230 V electric motor with integrated end position control. No other electronic components or sensors are required.

The Debris Lift Unit is based on robust and durable technology. There is hardly any maintenance work.

The Performance Control Unit monitors all key parameters during operation. This data enables the PCU to detect potential disruptions early on, initiates suitable corrective action and thereby prevents downtime. Connection to a master control is possible upon request.

The Debris Removal System (DRS) removes the separated heavy material during ongoing operation with no need to switch off or open the solid matter feeder or foreign matter separator. The system removes the heavy material with only minimal loss of medium (only around 15 l). In comparison to conventional solutions, the DRS reduces the work required by up to 80%.

Depending on the medium and circumstances of the system on-site, the DebrisCatcher can be equipped with DN150 or DN200 connectors.

For optimal adjustment of the DebrisCatcher to the requirements of the respective application, and to retain sufficiently small metal parts – and to keep pressure loss at a minimum – cutting screen variants with gap dimensions of 12 mm, 25 mm and 40 mm are available for selection.

The geometry of the clearing units is perfectly coordinated to work with the screen. The pairing of the screen and clearing units always results in a large, blunt angle. This prevents blockages resulting from trapped foreign matter.

The drive shaft is sealed using a proven-effective combination of a mechanical seal and radial shaft seal ring. The sealing system additionally includes a buffer fluid tank that enables leak control.

A counter bearing supports the drive shaft and ensures high stability.

For optimal separation of heavy material, a generously dimensioned, calmed area was created and optimized using flow simulations. The result: foreign matter contained in the liquid flow, such as metal parts or stones, is optimally separated out by gravity, and sinks down to the foreign matter separator.

In contrast to static heavy material separators, stones and metal parts are actively separated out by the DebrisCatcher. Foreign matter that arrives at the screen along with the liquid flow is retained there and is then actively (mechanically) guided into the foreign matter separator by the clearing units.

The RedUnit is also available in a stainless steel variant for abrasive applications.

An optional control system to get maximum efficiency of the plant can be added to the RedUnit.

Long downtimes and high costs for maintenance are a thing of the past: spare parts such as Ripper rotors, cutting blades, and the Quality Cartridge can be replaced easily without needing to dismantle the product.

The RedUnit is a complete grinding unit. Therefore, there are no additional pumps or feed screws required between the separate grinding stages, which is really good news for your electricity consumption.

The modular structure of the RedUnit allows you to choose from a range of pumps and grinding stages according to your individual requirements. Therefore, you end up with a customized grinding system.

Even though the RedUnit offers multiple grinding stages and various pump options, it can be integrated into your system space-efficiently even in tight spaces, thanks to its compact and rugged design.

A variety of different drive options are available for the XRipper. In most cases, geared motors and/or parallel shaft geared motors supply the drive power. Suitably equipped versions are available for operation in temporarily or permanently flooded conditions. Alternatively, the XRipper can be driven by a hydraulic motor.

The SIK enables the XRipper XRC to be directly positioned in the channel and/or upstream of the inlet or discharge, as well as in front of slanted or rounded walls. Guide rails allow the complete XRipper to be lifted upwards and out for service and maintenance, and replaced again without an additional retaining ring.

The connector box available for the XRipper XRS and XRipper XRP allows for heavy material, such as stones and metal parts, to be separated out upstream from the XRipper, thereby avoiding blockage of the XRipper.

For long designs and/or if hard blockages are to be expected, the QD design gives the XRipper additional stability thanks to an additional, third support bearing – this prevents shafts from bending and the Ripper rotors from touching. Nevertheless, the QuickService functionality remains: maintenance and service are performed quickly and easily on-site.

Depending on the series, the components of the XRipper chamber are produced from gray cast iron (XRS) or steel. Alternatively, they are available in stainless steel and/or cast stainless steel. The Ripper rotors and axial wear plates are made of highly wear-resistant special steel and are also available in a stainless steel variant.

Flow-optimized housings are available for selection for the XRipper XRP and XRipper XRC. This means maximum throughput with the smallest possible dimensions as well as low operating and investment costs.

To adjust to the size-reduction ratio, Ripper rotors are available with blade widths ranging from 6-11 mm. They are made of hardened special steel as standard, and are also available in stainless steel for use in chemically aggressive media.

The XRipper housing features a rigid design. This lays the foundation for the long lifetime of the bearings and gearbox.

The shafts and rotors of the XRipper are dimensioned with maximum diameters. Both together make the XRipper torsionally stiff and resistant to blockage.

As a result of the different rotational speeds of the two XRipper shafts, the XRipper rotors clean themselves. Material that has settled in the gaps between the Ripper rotors is actively raked out. This avoids clogging of rotors and any resulting

The axial wear plates of the XRipper are equipped with a counter-cutter that largely prevents disruptive matter from passing through the XRipper without being shredded. The result: even, reliable shredding.

The monolithic Ripper rotors are made of a high-quality steel block. They transfer the torque evenly from the shaft to the rotors, thereby enabling an even greater load. Service and maintenance work can be completed in a short time because far fewer individual parts need to be replaced when changing parts.

Hydraulic or geared motors adapted for the prevailing conditions of the application are used to drive the cutter. A selection of geared motors with various power ratings and different speeds are available for every type, so the RotaCut can always be individually adapted to the respective application. The perfect motor is available for every task, from protection against fibers and coarse matter through to fine, homogeneous preparation of a suspension. Suitable cutting screens and blade rotors are available for individual adjustment of the size-reduction ratio.

The housing of the RotaCut is made of steel and is completely galvanized. Stainless steel variants are available for particularly aggressive applications. Cutting screens and blades are also available in steel and/or stainless steel versions.

The Debris Removal System (DRS) available for the RotaCut RCX series enables regular removal of separated heavy material during ongoing operation. The system removes the heavy material with only minimal loss of medium (only around 15 l). In comparison to conventional solutions, the DRS reduces the work required by 80%.

The Auto-Reverse function detects blockages, such as those caused by coarse disruptive matter, and initiates corrective action. By periodically reversing, the function further ensures that a pair of sharp cutting edges is always used while dull ones are sharpened on the opposite site. This delivers optimal cutting performance with reduced power consumption.

ACCplus further reduces the cost of maintenance and monitoring of the cutter. It monitors the cutting blades status online and displays it on an external display. This means it's no longer necessary to place the cutter out of service and open it to determine the cutting blades status. Additionally, this information can be processed and displayed by the (central) control and/or remote control.

The Automatic Cut Control (ACC) automatically adjusts the RotaCut's blades and maintains constant pressure between the cutting screen and blades. Moreover, the pressure can be adjusted during operation; as high as necessary and as low as possible. This extends the lifetime of the cutting blades and screen, and enables automatic operation.

The hole pattern of the cutting screens, along with the number of cuts, is decisive for the size-reduction ratio. To meet the requirements of every situation, we offer cutting screens for the RotaCut, depending on the size, with free passage from 4 mm to 50 mm. Stainless steel versions are available for aggressive media.

Each RotaCut has a blade adjustment function that ensures that the cutting blade and screen are always in continuous contact. This contact is what enables reliable cutting of even the finest, long-fiber fibrous matter, such as hair, industrial fibers and grass entanglements.

Cutting blades and rotors have a decisive impact on the RotaCut's cutting performance. The asymmetric blade rotors we developed in-house deliver optimal chopping down performance with minimal wear. The movable bearing of the cutting blades ensures continuous contact between the cutting screen and blades – a solid foundation for reliable cutting of even the finest fibers.

Chopping down media with a high solids content in a small space places a great strain on the cutting screens. This is why we have optimized the holder on both the Pro and RCX series: the cutting screen is additionally stabilized by a central support. This minimizes deformation of the cutting screen and also enables efficient cutting despite high load operation.

The cutting screens are exposed to high loads in cutters like the RotaCut. This is why in the RotaCut, they are not merely supported at several points, but rather their entire surface lies on a stable holder. This reduces deformation of the cutting screen and enables easy and energy-saving cutting across the entire surface.

Vogelsang uses its proprietary software to develop cutting screens with optimized geometry for every size-reduction ratio. For operators, this means the best geometry at all times for smooth running, with minimal wear. The cutting screens are produced from wear-resistant special steel and offer twice the performance since they are reversible.

Thanks to their design all RotaCut products are easy to service and maintain. Just a few motions are required to gain access to the cutting tools, which can be replaced on-site. The RotaCut is ready for use again in no time at all. The RotaCut does not need to be removed nor the cutter head disassembled.

Separation of stones and metal parts is important for ensuring smooth operation of the cutter itself as well as of the downstream pumps and components, and also to prevent damage and blockages they may cause. Each RotaCut therefore has an integrated heavy material separator.

For smooth operation of many plants, reliable foreign matter separation of stones and metal parts is a must, in addition to cutting. The adapted design of the heavy material separator is crucial. It has to be compatible with the requirements for the respective application as well as shredding. The RotaCut offers the most comprehensive selection of heavy material separators.

The new helical high-performance gearbox is extremely quiet and inimitably smooth in operation. This results in very low vibration velocities, which reduces the stress on the pump and connected pipelines to a minimum.
Due to the robust gearbox, extremely high differential pressures with a long service life are possible.

The one-piece housing is low in dead space and flow-optimized, which increases efficiency. The service friendliness is further increased by the optimized connections.

To increase operational reliability, the EP series pumps are equipped with an AirGap. This gap atmospherically separates the gearbox from the pump chamber. This means that even in the event of a leak, no liquid enters the gearbox but flows outwards. Furthermore, the transmission is effectively protected against high temperatures of the pumped medium.

The low dead space design of the one-piece housings allows for easy cleaning. The pumps can be flushed and disinfected according to CIP and SIP guidelines.

Seal supply systems have the task of keeping the lubricant of a seal at a constant level and maintaining the sealing pressure within the seal.
With its Automatic Supply Unit (ASU), Vogelsang has opened up a completely new world of seal supply systems. The patented system is barely larger than a beverage can and consists of a reciprocating pump that interacts with the seal to pump sealing medium into the chamber as soon as the set pressure deviates.

For sealing technology you can decide between the Quality-Cartridge, the new CoX-Cartridge and (for the EP series only) the API-Cartridge.

With the help of Vogelsang's high-quality sealing systems, the pump is protected and a long service life is made possible.

The modular design of the pump means many common parts and thus less stock-keeping of spare parts and correspondingly better availability of these.

Due to the small installation dimension, less space is required on the vehicle. This not only saves space, but also weight.

The rotor of the ProCapT is hollow from the inside. This produces particularly smooth running and also saves weight within the complete pump.

With the help of the stone trap, unwanted components are not led into the pump chamber and thus protect the pump as well as all other subsequent devices.

With the help of the minimal angular misalignment of the gear, there is no need to purchase an expensive wide-angle joint.

Thanks to the oil circulation lubrication, the FX series requires almost no maintenance at all. An oil pump built into the gearbox provides an even and constant supply of oil to all the relevant gaskets, thus removing the need for manual lubrication.

The rotating separation plate between the lobes prevents the accumulation of fibrous matter. This helps to maintain full pump performance and minimizes diesel and electricity consumption.

The block ring seals installed in the FarmerPump are special mechanical seals made to industry standards. The special design has been developed especially to increase the pump's resistance to fibers in the liquid manure, thus significantly extending the lifetime of the unit compared to those that use traditional mechanical seals.

An ATEX-compliant version can be supplied for use in areas subject to explosion hazards.

With QuickService, Vogelsang’s rotary lobe pumps are very easy to maintain: The lobes, seal, and wear plates can be replaced on-site without dismounting the pump. This saves money and ensures the highest possible level of equipment availability. Long downtimes are cut to a minimum.

Larger lobes and pump covers can be installed in the IQ series
without making any modifications; this can increase capacity by as
much as 40%.

We offer another option which is perfectly suited to road transport: aluminum pump housing and lobe cores. This helps haulers to keep the tare of the transport vehicle to a minimum and thus increase the payload. The gearbox housing, bearing seal housing and QuickService cover are all made of aluminum. Particular attention has been paid to making sure that all components that come into contact with the medium are lined with robust gray cast iron or highly wear-resistant special steel.

Vogelsang’s rotary lobe pumps themselves are also compact in design, which saves weight. Also thanks to the pumping technique a considerable reduction in pipes is possible. Therefore Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps weigh up to 37 % less that comaprable models on the market.

In the QD design, an additional, third support bearing provides extra stability and extremely low shaft deflection, resulting in minimal pressure-related wear. This results in a longer lifetime and reduced wear, especially at high pressures.

The Universal Drive System (UDS) allows the same VX rotary lobe pump to be operated with a number of different types of drive (hydraulic and geared motors, classic cardan shaft, three-speed gearbox) or locations (stationary, mobile). This is done by combining the pump with a shaft and drive adapter. The UDS makes spare parts management easier and enhances flexibility.

The speed-dependent displacement of the VX rotary lobe pumps makes them ideal for precise longitudinal distribution within the spreading swath. Either screwed directly into the gearbox or in conjunction with the UDS both versions of the Vogelsang speed sensor are used to calculate the flow rate, allowing precise control of the required spreading capacity.

Unlike conventional lobes, Vogelsang’s HiFlo® lobes ensure pulsation-free pumping and consequently longer lifetimes for the drive and coupling. At the same time, the suction capacity is increased due to the higher number of sealing lines. The improved internal sealing enables suction from deep pits.

The wear plates, made from highly wear-resistant special steel, extend maintenance intervals considerablx, simplify maintenance and minimize downtimes. Also your costs are significantly reduce during maintenance.

The InjectionSystem significantly improves the foreign-matter resistance of the pump. It increases the efficiency and improves the suction capacity through optimized volumetric efficiency. Thanks to the InjectionSystem the service life of the pump is extended. Field trials prove a longer period of up to 2.5 times.

Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps are built according to a unique element-based design. With them, the customer isn’t forced to replace the entire body, but instead just the element that is affected. The economical replacement of individual components not only makes maintenance simpler and quicker, but simultaneously reduces the operating costs.

VX pumps from Vogelsang have sturdy, break-proof shafts with a large diameter and without cranks and recesses to weaken them. The benefit is that Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps give a minimum shaft deflection even under high pressure, very low start-up wear, and ultimately reduced operating costs and spare parts costs.

The Vogelsang Quality Cartridge stands for modern sealing technology. The mechanical seal in cartridge design is manufactured automatically in the factory, completely pre-assembled and checked by computer. This makes it quick and easy to change on site: assembly errors are avoided and the time required is reduced. This means quick and easy replacement of the shaft seal as well as safe commissioning after seal replacement.

Alongside the standard model in abrasion-resistant gray cast iron, versions in ADI and stainless steel are stocked as well. On request, the components of the pump chamber can be manufactured from duplex steel or a nickel-based alloy. Other options for customization include heat treatment and wear-resistant coatings for the wear plates and housing components.

With our extensive selection of lobe geometry and materials, we will find the right long-life lobe for your media, e.g. NBR, NBR white, EPDM-SL, EPDM-AL, EPDM white, CSM, FKM, PU, stainless steel oder nitrided steel. The lobes can be produced in a straight, double-wing geometry or as 3-wing; 4-wing or 6-wing, pulsation-free HiFlo lobes.

Axial wear plates are made from highly wear-resistant special steel and therefore extend maintenance intervalls. They offer protection for the entire pump chamber and therefore not only simplify maintenance, but also minimize downtime. At the same time costs are minimized.

On rotary lobe pumps from Vogelsang, wear on the pump housing segments is compensated without using additional parts. This makes the most of the material and prolongs service life.
