JOSKIN booms offer the possibility of spreading over large widths and applying the slurry at the foot of the plants without soiling the leaves, which allows to greatly reduce nutrient losses, not slow down the plant growth and avoid slurry residue in the forage. Both models allow to choose between a simple application on the ground or injection. They however have a very similar design. The PENDISLIDE and PENDITWIST have a triangular structure articulated around a central frame and supporting line spreading hoses fixed at 25 or 30 cm intervals. Since they are fully galvanised, they are optimally protected and have a long service life.
JOSKIN booms (except the BASIC range) are all equipped as standard with the (double acting) anti-drip lifting device with Twist system. This ensures a clean transport thanks to a complete rotation of the line hose ends, which prevents any loss of slurry on the road and in the field during manoeuvres. In addition to the anti-drip function, the Twist system has other advantages: it offers a low overhang and, as an option, allows spreading with an exact scatterer without having to remove the boom. The scatterer and two manual or hydraulic valves to isolate it just have to be added.
The JOSKIN spreading booms (except the BASIC range) are all fitted as standard with an anti-crash safety device that provides extra safety when working on uneven ground. Each boom wing is equipped with springs and joints which, when spreading on bumpy ground, retract the ends of the boom (max. 80 cm) if they come into contact with the ground. Since the wings are fitted at the end of oblong holes, they can pivot and their height can be adjusted.
Models over 3 m wide are equipped with a double-acting hydraulic folding system in order to meet the required transport width. It should also be noted that this system is, in this case, equipped with the Lock-Matic© automatic locking device to make your road travel as safe as possible. This device is controlled by the same hydraulic function as the folding system, through steered valves.
