SAMSON GROUP A/S’s newly developed double unloading system, ALTA, is available across the PICHON SV slurry tanker range and will optimise uphill and downhill organic fertiliser spreading.
Complete tank unloading on slopes
The ALTA system makes complete unloading on hilly terrain a reality with a front unloading pipe for downhill emptying and rear unloading pipe for uphill emptying. Pipes are selected using two immersed hydraulic valves that are controlled manually from the in-cab iControl 7S terminal for operator ease.
Even spreading across hilly areas
The ALTA system’s compatibility with the upper unloading pipe, which is linked to the flow regulation valve and turbo feeder, prevents system failures, and ensures an even and consistent spread.
More developments on the way
Tanks will soon include an inclinometer to provide an incline reading in real time. This information will be sent to the in-cab iControl 7S human to machine interface, which will be able to automatically select the front or rear valve with no operator input required. The aim is to reduce the driver’s mental workload and to make it easier for them to drive in emptying mode.
