General points<br />
When the optimal use of farm manure be<strong>com</strong>es a true source of profitability, it is important to choose the<br />
appropriate material. The current spreading methods substantially reduce the loss of volatile fertilizers in<br />
the slurry. Therefore, the spread slurry remains very rich and allows you to spare chemical fertilizers.<br />
The JOSKIN ‘‘Spreading tools’’ programme offers a solution for the injection in meadows - with discs,<br />
trailing shoes or shares - the injection in arable grounds - with rigid or flexible tines - or for the boom spreading<br />
- line, multi-nozzle, dual-nozzle. The working widths vary, according to the models, from 2.80 meters<br />
to 24 meters.<br />
The use of an injector means, more and more, a profitable investment, even in the short-term. Moreover,<br />
the whole range of JOSKIN slurry tankers is <strong>com</strong>patible with a possible spreading tool.<br />
Manufacture of the rear implements<br />
Computer-aided design<br />
The conception of spreading tools is entirely <strong>com</strong>puterized. The<br />
three-dimensional drawing of the <strong>com</strong>ponents is carried out by<br />
the Pro-Engineer software. With this software, the JOSKIN<br />
development team can view the part drawings from all angles before<br />
starting the production.<br />
From the very beginning of the project, the design is linked to<br />
the SAP global management programme: the designers directly<br />
integrate the new parts lists to the central configurator. As a result,<br />
the new concept immediately <strong>com</strong>es within the continuous<br />
development process.<br />
This integrated architecture allows to standardize the production<br />
as much as possible and to rationalize the <strong>com</strong>ponents, leading<br />
to a higher manufacturing precision and production flexibility.<br />
Mounting the spreading tools<br />
The injectors and booms are mounted individually from a stationary<br />
place. First, the different parts of the injection or spreading<br />
elements as well as<br />
the macerator(s) are<br />
assembled. These elements<br />
are then mounted<br />
on the chassis of<br />
the machine.<br />
After this, the finishing<br />
is carried out before<br />
testing the tool. Once<br />
mounted on the slurry<br />
tanker, all the rear implements are tested by a specialized team.<br />
Manufacturing the chassis of spreading tools<br />
The manufacturing stage is in accordance with the JOSKIN<br />
production philosophy. The automated machine tools stand for an<br />
unmatched precision. The digital cutting lasers and saws ensure<br />
the cutting of profiles and steel sheets. The turning machines,<br />
machining centre, folding presses, to name but a few, are entirely<br />
automated machines preventing any mistake.<br />
The unbroken welding is carried out by robots. They ensure regular<br />
weld seams without splashing.<br />
The longevity of the JOSKIN material is increased by the<br />
galvanization with which it is coated.<br />
Completely individualized parts book<br />
The most obvious expression of the <strong>com</strong>puter-aided<br />
management of the integrated<br />
JOSKIN production is the individualized<br />
parts book JOSKIN delivers with<br />
each spreading tool. This book includes<br />
the drawings and references of the <strong>com</strong>ponents<br />
mounted on the vehicle, with the<br />
exclusion of any other part. In this way,<br />
many mistakes can be avoided when ordering<br />
spare parts - even years later.<br />

an appropriate structure<br />
Structure of the vehicles<br />
Provided the adequate (pre-)equipment is available, all JOSKIN slurry tankers can be equipped with a rear spreading tool. Either for<br />
self-supporting vehicles or for vehicles with chassis, the JOSKIN ‘‘Slurry tankers’’ programme offers various adaptation possibilities.<br />
Moreover, there is a vast number of options making the work with a spreading tool easier, these are explained in the following pages.<br />
Universal chassis<br />
Self-supporting vehicles<br />
The JOSKIN KOMFORT2, COBRA, QUADRA, X-TREM<br />
and EUROLINER ranges are equipped with a universal chassis.<br />
This chassis, which is <strong>com</strong>pletely independent from the tank,<br />
offers the following advantages:<br />
For self-supporting vehicles such as the MODULO2, the option ‘‘tank<br />
buttresses’’ is available. This option consists in reinforcing the tank<br />
in such a way that the rear implement weight strains are transfered<br />
on the whole vehicle. Line and multi-nozzle spreading booms as<br />
well as Multi-Action, Solodisc (up to 5.16m) and arable injectors (up<br />
to 11 tines) can be hitched to the buttresses.<br />
• total concentration of the strains on the chassis;<br />
• tank <strong>com</strong>pletely protected from the stress of the rear tool<br />
Besides, thanks to its intrinsic characteristics, the chassis<br />
makes it possible:<br />
• to hitch rear tools with or without linkage;<br />
• to move the running gear in order to modify the load distribution<br />
according to the weight of the rear implement;<br />
• to standardize: because the single-axle chassis is the same as<br />
the double-axle chassis;<br />
• to focus the traction strains of the rear implement on the chassis<br />
(the rear implement does not pull the tank);<br />
• to use all the JOSKIN spreading systems (and other<br />
systems too provided some possible adaptations are made).<br />

Whatever the chassis width, it is always possible to fit a linkage<br />
on it. Indeed, the linkages are designed according to the existing<br />
chassis widths, either for traditional widths (1,000 mm for Komfort,<br />
Quadra and Euroliner) or for narrower widths (600 mm for<br />
Cobra).<br />

linkages<br />
Compact tool lifting device<br />
The JOSKIN coupling systems are very <strong>com</strong>pact in order to<br />
limit the side and vertical strains on the whole running gear. Made up<br />
of four points, they ensure a very high stability of the rear implement<br />
while reducing the overhanging<br />
part.<br />
The tankers which are<br />
equipped with a narrow<br />
universal chassis (600<br />
mm) are fitted with a<br />
specific linkage.<br />
The ‘‘Low-Lift’’ linkage does not<br />
take much place at the back<br />
of the tank thanks to its limited<br />
height. Designed for the quick<br />
coupling, this linkage is available<br />
on the KOMFORT, QUADRA,<br />
X-TREM, EUROLINER and<br />
CARGO.<br />
Several options are available on the linkages:<br />
- spring suspension for linkage;<br />
- electric control of the linkage at the back of the tanker making it<br />
easier to hitch the spreading tool;<br />
- connection of an exact scatterer through the linkage.<br />
Even with a rear implement, it is<br />
always possible to spread slurry in<br />
the traditional way. The option ‘‘Exact<br />
scatterer on injector’’ has been designed<br />
for this purpose.<br />
The adjusting key of the upper<br />
tie rods is supplied with all<br />
JOSKIN linkages.<br />

Level indicator<br />
Upper access<br />
The gauge is made up of transparent perspex (Ø 6’’). This device,<br />
which is also available in kit form to be bolted, can be mounted afterwards<br />
if necessary. In option, a protective grate can be placed<br />
in front of the gauge (advised when using a dorsal boom).<br />
Most spreading tools prevent the access<br />
to the tank at the back. That’s why it is<br />
highly re<strong>com</strong>mended to place an upper<br />
access to the tank.<br />
➋<br />
JOSKIN offers three different types<br />
of upper access:<br />
• Ø 600 mm normal opening<br />
(4 hooks) (1);<br />
• Ø 600 mm quick opening, mounted on a<br />
hinge (2);<br />
• Hydraulic sliding trap (500 x 600 mm) (3).<br />
➊<br />
➌<br />
All types of upper access are standard<br />
fitted with fully galvanized inside<br />
and outside ladders.<br />
The level float gauge is another alternative,<br />
which however gives no<br />
information about the slurry consistency.<br />
JOSKIN pressure<br />

A regular pression is essential to spread with accuracy.<br />

Ecopump<br />
A vacuum pump naturally makes the used<br />
oil flow out with the expelled air. Based on<br />
this principle, the ECOPUMP aims at:<br />
- collecting the oil (environmental concern),<br />
- reducing the noise level (see table below),<br />
- longer lifetime of your vacuum pump,<br />
- a structure with 2 chambers for extra cooling.<br />

Compared noise levels Standard pump ECOPUMP<br />
Suction 93.3 mW 25.7 mW<br />
Discharge 53.7 mW 19.5 mW<br />
In option, and standard with some<br />
pumps and some spreading tools, the<br />
high-capacity pressure relief valve (Ø<br />
150 mm) allows to quickly evacuate the<br />
overpressure and to prevent the pump<br />
from prematurely overheating. Thanks<br />
to this option, it is also possible to adjust<br />
the spreading flow by acting on the overpressure<br />
rate of the tank.<br />
A big adjusting wheel with locknut allows an easy and accurate<br />
adjustment; thanks to this, it is possible to obtain a precise adjustment<br />
of the flow rate when spreading. This device is necessary<br />
for a regular work of the spreading tools.<br />
Draining cap<br />
A draining cap (Ø 8’’), located under the tank, makes the cleaning<br />
operations easier in case an implement is fitted at the back.<br />
Thanks to the sloping position<br />
of the tank and the position<br />
of the cap in the lowest<br />
part of the tank, the draining<br />
cap also acts as a stone trap.<br />
This cap is standard fitted on<br />
all tankers with a pre-equipment<br />
for an injector.
e<strong>com</strong>mended equipment<br />
Electronic flow meter<br />
ISOBUS + flow meter<br />
A perfect measurement for a regular<br />
precision!<br />
The electronic flow meter (Ø<br />
150 mm) ensures an accurate<br />
flow at any time. Whatever the<br />
driving speed, the spreading<br />
remains uniform thanks to the<br />
device adjusting the flow in<br />
proportion to the advancement<br />
speed (DPA).<br />
The working principle is as follows: the flow meter constantly<br />
measures the slurry injection flow while sensors,<br />
located at the wheels, measure the driving speed.<br />
By interpreting these data, a <strong>com</strong>puter will automatically<br />
regulate the slurry flow according to the driving<br />
speed, by way of an electric valve.<br />
Main functions of the electronic flow meter:<br />
• flow regulation<br />
• calculation (partial or total surface, working hours, speed,<br />
distance, output ha/h or l/ha)<br />
• spreading work management (storing the work carried out and<br />
to be carried out)<br />
• alarms (excessive speed)<br />
• allows to use the tractor potential as much as possible with a<br />
guaranteed flow<br />
The Simple Cut chopper is<br />
based on the patented technique<br />
of the SCALPER ® macerators.<br />
Indeed, any foreign<br />
body in the slurry is chopped<br />
by the 3 self-sharpening circular<br />
blades turning against<br />
a contra-rotating blade fitted<br />
with conical openings.<br />
Simple Cut chopper<br />
In this way, slurry is homogeneously distributed in the rear spreading<br />
tool while making sure that the possible foreign bodies do not<br />
prevent the macerator from working properly. The stones and other<br />
foreign bodies are collected in a trap that is easy to reach and has<br />
to be emptied regularly. This operation is made easier by a quick<br />
opening system.<br />
In the mixing phase, slurry also flows through the <strong>com</strong>partment of<br />
the chopper. Indeed, the pipe system of this <strong>com</strong>partment has been<br />
designed to guide the slurry from the tank to the pump, through the<br />
chopper when this one is not working.<br />
The ISOBUS principle is to centralize all the electrohydraulic functions<br />
of your machines in one single control box, called Terminal. This<br />
Terminal is connected to the software integrated into each machine.<br />
Then, once the software is downloaded by the Terminal, this one displays<br />
on its screen all the functions it can operate for the machine.<br />
The tractors fitted with the ISOBUS system will then perfectly be<br />
able to oprate the flow<br />
meter function. The user<br />
will no longer need the<br />
control box that is specific<br />
to the flow meter.<br />
A GPS system is available<br />
in option. It will provide<br />
even more precision<br />
for the spreading.<br />
Do not hesitate to contact us for further information.<br />
The so-called ‘‘umbilical’’ system has an Anglo-Saxon origin and<br />
allows to spread slurry without using a slurry spreader. Yet, it requires<br />
quite a heavy organization in order to feed the implement directly<br />
connected to the tractor: reel, pipes (max. 1500 m), centrifugal<br />
pumps... It is therefore<br />
not possible to spread<br />
too far from the pit.<br />
The Penditwist, Terrasoc,<br />
Terraflex, Solodisc<br />
and Multi-Action tools<br />
may be used according<br />
to this principle. They<br />
can be independently<br />
mounted on our slurry<br />
tankers or on a specific<br />
support to be hitched<br />
to the tractor.<br />
Umbilical system<br />
It is worth noting that this option requires an adaptation of the<br />
spreader beforehand. It is therefore re<strong>com</strong>mended to fit the slurry<br />
tanker with an appropriate pre-equipment in order to mount the<br />
chopper later.<br />

SCALPER © macerator<br />
A good macerator is essential to make sure the injector<br />
works properly because all kinds of slurry (but<br />
mainly cattle slurry) are full of fibres and foreign<br />
bodies. Now, a blocked opening means an uneven<br />
spreading pattern: then, the user has to<br />
stop working and to clean the machine, which<br />
is quite constraining!<br />
The JOSKIN solution is the patented<br />
system of the macerator with cutting and<br />
self-sharpening discs: the JOSKIN<br />
SCALPER © .<br />
The cutting system of the<br />
SCALPER © is merciless: free<br />
rotating circular blades are<br />
mounted on a rotating blade<br />
head driven by a hydraulic<br />
motor. There is a scissors<br />
effect between the circular<br />
blades and the elliptical arched<br />
and off-centre openings<br />
of the blade head, inevitably<br />
cutting all foreign bodies in<br />
the slurry.<br />
When the blades strike against too hard<br />
obstacles, the rotation direction of the<br />
SCALPER © is reversed by the ‘‘Switch-<br />
Matic’’ system (option) until the obstacle<br />
is chopped.<br />
The JOSKIN macerator is placed<br />
by fitting and clipping. A multi-position<br />
manual valve, fixed at the macerator<br />
inlet, offers a step by step adjustment<br />
of the injector feeding. The precise adjustment<br />
is carried out by means of the<br />
pressure relief valve and the chosen<br />
type of contra-rotating blade.<br />
Model -2, -1, 0 et 1 Model 2 Model 3<br />
Flow: 7 to 20 m³/ha<br />
Flow: 12 to 30 m³/ha<br />
Flow: 25 to 50 m³/ha<br />
The hydraulic circuit is isolated thanks to a cap. A drain makes it<br />
possible to check wether the water seal is faulty.<br />
The JOSKIN SCALPER © macerators are also sold separately<br />
in order to equip existing injectors.<br />
Macerator feeding<br />
The macerator is standard fed through a 6’’ rubber hose and a 6’’<br />
adjusting valve.<br />
Vertical SCALPER © macerator<br />
The working principle of<br />
the vertical macerator,<br />
fitting the Penditwist line<br />
spreading booms, is the<br />
same as for the horizontal<br />
macerator: a rotating<br />
blade head, driven by a<br />
hydraulic motor, supports<br />
eight self-sharpening<br />
circular blades turning<br />
freely against a contrarotating<br />
blade. However,<br />
as the macerator is fitted with openings on both sides, it is equipped<br />
with two cutting systems. The slurry under pressure goes into<br />
the central chamber of the macerator via a 6’’ inlet, before being<br />
taken care of by the blades that cut the foreign bodies and evenly<br />
distribute the slurry between the different openings (20, 26, 30 or<br />
36 openings, according to the models). These are horizontal and<br />
have a diameter of 42 mm. A 6’’ cap, acting as a stone trap, gives<br />
access to the inside of the macerator.<br />
The advantages of this vertical macerator are the small overal dimensions<br />
and limited load losses in the injection pipes (less bends<br />
in the pipes). As a result, slurry is more homogeneously distributed<br />
in the line spreading booms.<br />

Hydraulic controls<br />
Sequential blocks<br />
ISOBUS<br />
For an optimal use of the spreading<br />
tool, the user-friendly and<br />
environmentally acceptable character<br />
of the machine and the protection<br />
of the grass and the material,<br />
an automatic control system<br />
of the hydraulic functions of any<br />
injector is absolutely necessary.<br />
The automated sequence of hydraulic<br />
functions allows the driver<br />
to only care about the lowering or<br />
lifting and the unfolding of the spreading tool.<br />
The sequential block operates all the other functions corresponding<br />
to the working of the spreading tool:<br />
• lifting - lowering the tool (driver);<br />
• lowering speed two times faster in relation to the oil supply<br />
of the tractor (on Polymatic & Instamatic);<br />
• opening of the slurry feeding valve;<br />
• start of the slurry macerator(s);<br />
• control of the automatic reverse of the macerator;<br />
• opening-closing the hydraulic anti-drip pincers on the<br />
Solodisc meadow injectors;<br />
• control of the Cleanmatic © in option on arable injectors;<br />
• automatic adaptation to uneven ground with constant pressure<br />
(Solodisc).<br />
Electrovalves<br />
According to the chosen injector<br />
and sequential block, 2 or 3 hydraulic<br />
functions will be necessary.<br />
If the macerator is operated by<br />
means of an eletrohydraulic box,<br />
a high flow entry block is then indispensable<br />
to increase the output of the hydraulic motor and<br />
prevent load losses and overheating problems.<br />
Eventually, all the hydraulic<br />
functions of<br />
the sequential block<br />
will be operated by<br />
the ISOBUS.<br />
Assuming that all<br />
your functions are<br />
connected to the<br />
electrovalves, the<br />
Terminal of the tractor<br />
will be<strong>com</strong>e your<br />
only control box.<br />
Controlling the injector weight on<br />
the ground<br />
All arable injectors<br />
(Terrasoc, Terraflex2<br />
and Terraflex3) and<br />
meadow injectors<br />
include an option<br />
allowing to lift the<br />
injector in humid<br />
places. This ‘‘Wet<br />
surface kit’’ device is<br />
made up of a valve<br />
allowing to lift the<br />
rear tool when going<br />
from a dry area to a humid one; a load transfer to the tanker<br />
then takes place while the feeding valve and macerator remain<br />
functional.<br />
The hydraulic anti-drip pincers stay open with this system. In the<br />
case of mechanical pincers, it is up to the driver to see if they do<br />
not close the injection pipes when the injector is lifted.<br />

Arable injectors<br />
General points<br />
The JOSKIN arable injectors include injectors with rigid tines<br />
(Terrasoc) and injectors with flexible tines (Terraflex/2 and Terraflex/3).<br />
Structure<br />
The structure of an arable injector is quite simple: the injectors<br />
are fastened on a double-beam chassis reinforced by radiant<br />
cross-pieces. The main advantage<br />
offered by this assembly is<br />
to focus the strains of the tool<br />
on the Universal chassis of the<br />
spreader, which then transfers<br />
them evenly on the tractor. The<br />
stress is then reduced and the<br />
tractor is not subjected to distorsion.<br />
Specificities<br />
In order not to exceed the maximum<br />
transport width and not to strike<br />
against obstacles, the Terraflex/2<br />
(5200/13 SHK & 5100/17 SHK) and<br />
Terraflex/3 injectors are fitted with<br />
retractable outer tines.<br />
The basic chassis is modular for all models of arable injectors. In<br />
this way, the large width models are based on 2.80 m models with<br />
extensions.<br />
The frame carrying the injectors<br />
wider than 3 meters are<br />
fitted with a double-acting hydraulic<br />
folding system with antitwisting<br />
safety stop. All the models<br />
are equipped with a road<br />
lighting system.<br />
The gauge wheels allow to adjust the working depth of the tines.<br />
The injectors are standard equipped with 2 gauge wheels 200/60-<br />
14.5 (Ø 605 x 210 mm) and can be <strong>com</strong>pleted by 2 other wheels<br />
available in option on the large widths from 5m10.<br />
In case of thicker slurry (cattle slurry,...) or higher doses per hectare,<br />
it is advisable to choose Ø 60 mm macerator outlets and pipes<br />
instead of Ø 48 mm ones (standard).<br />

Arable injectors<br />
Control of the hydraulic functions<br />
The arable injectors are standard operated by the Easymatic sequential<br />
block. This block operates the linkage and macerator while<br />
the valve opening takes place by direct connection to the tractor.<br />
In case of extra use of the Multi-Action injector, an adaptation of<br />
the Easymatic block into Easymatic+ is re<strong>com</strong>mended. A manual<br />
valve makes it then possible to operate the valve opening either by<br />
means of the block, or independently.<br />
In option, JOSKIN offers the Cleanmatic © . This device for<br />
automatic draining before digging up the injector is remarkably efficient:<br />
it avoids any loss of slurry on headland, in the farm yard, on<br />
the road, ...<br />
The Cleanmatic © can be operated automatically by the Instamatic ©<br />
hydraulic sequential block.<br />

Terrasoc<br />
General points<br />
The Terrasoc arable injector is fitted with rigid tines<br />
- 40 cm spacing - and a shear-bolt security.<br />
These tines are ended by 24 cm wide duckfoot<br />
shares. Given the shape of the tines and the<br />
wide serration of the shares, the clogging risks<br />
are insignificant. The advantages of the system<br />
are:<br />
• efficient soil ploughing<br />
• injection depth ranging from 10 to 12 cm<br />
• outstanding stubble ploughing work<br />
(this type of share is best suited to mechanical<br />
weeding techniques)<br />
• less tractor power (see hereafter).<br />
Working<br />
The working principle of the TERRASOC is very simple: slurry <strong>com</strong>es<br />
from the macerator and flows through an injection hose following the<br />
curve of the tine. It is then laid down at the back of the tine, precisely<br />
under the foot of the share making a groove in the ground.<br />
With the Terrasoc, the slurry is injected on the whole share width<br />
(15 to 25 cm according to the type of slurry and ground). As<br />
slurry is distributed over a large width, there can be more space<br />
between the tines; in other words, this requires less power.<br />
The working depth is adjusted thanks to a central adjustment on<br />
the gauge wheels.<br />
Besides, it is possible to adjust the height of the tines individually<br />
by modifying their fixing point on the frame (3 positions). This<br />
operation is particularly easy, as the user merely has to screw and<br />
unscrew a few bolts.<br />
The sloping angle of the tines can also be modified in order to<br />
loosen the ground more or less effectively. This adjustment is also<br />
very easy, as only one bolt has to be moved (3 positions).<br />
Stubble plough<br />
The injector is fitted with a 3rd point hitch, so that it can<br />
be fixed to the standardized 3-point linkage of a tractor.<br />
In this way, the Terrasoc can be used as a simple stubble plough or<br />
as an umbilical system.<br />
-12-
Terraflex/2 - Terraflex/3<br />
General points<br />
The Terraflex models are fitted with Everstrong-type flexible<br />
tines (fixed on wide spring leaves) ended by a 6.5 cm wide<br />
reversible straight share.<br />
This type of tines allows:<br />
• improved ground loosening thanks to vibrating effect<br />
• good vegetal residue mixing (in limited quantity)<br />
• a perfectly torn plough soil and a better prepared seed bed<br />
• a working depth ranging from 12 to 15 cm<br />
As they are vibrating, these tines are more resistant<br />
to obstacles (stones,...) but offer a less<br />
regular working depth.<br />
680 mm<br />
The working principle of this injector is the<br />
same as for the Terrasoc: the share makes<br />
a groove in the ground and the slurry is<br />
then laid down by the injection hose.<br />
The working depth is adjusted thanks to a<br />
central adjustment on the gauge wheels.<br />
Like the Terrasoc, the Terraflex injector<br />
can be used as a stubble plough or as an<br />
umbilical system.<br />
Options<br />
In option, the Terraflex injectors may<br />
have Kongskilde Vibroflex type tines and<br />
reinforced blue shares.<br />
These tines, just as the standard ones,<br />
are designed to bury and mix larger<br />
quantities of straw and vegetal residue.<br />
Indeed, these tines have the following specifications:<br />
• plough beam with 2 folds allowing to make the earth go up and<br />
the vegetal matter down<br />
• a vertical zone (above the share) used to mix the vegetal matter<br />
and the ground in an optimal way<br />
As far as the blue shares are concerned, they offer the following<br />
major advantages:<br />
• 11 cm wide<br />
• further improved robustness<br />
• reversibility<br />
• designed for mulch seeding<br />
• very good mechanical seeding effect (roots and seeds).<br />
Terraflex/2 vs. Terraflex/3<br />
The global row<br />
spacing of the Terraflex/2<br />
and Terraflex/3<br />
is 30 or 40<br />
cm, according to<br />
the chosen model.<br />
On the Terraflex/3,<br />
the tines<br />
are distributed on<br />
3 rows instead of<br />
2 on the Terraflex/2,<br />
which allows a greater clearance between them. This injector<br />
is therefore particularly interesting when there is a lot of<br />
vegetal residue.<br />
The spacing between the 1st and 2nd row is moreover larger than<br />
between the 2nd and 3rd row.<br />
For countries in which the doses per hectare are significantly limited<br />
by new regulations, we advise the range of machines with<br />
30 cm between the tines in order to make sure slurry is evenly<br />
distributed on the ground.<br />

Meadow injectors<br />
The JOSKIN meadow injectors are fitted with discs or skids.<br />
The range is available in two types of injectors: Multi-Action and Solodisc.<br />
Standardized frame<br />
Lighting<br />
A road lighting system is part of<br />
the standard equipment of the<br />
injectors.<br />
The highly <strong>com</strong>pact design and<br />
the folding system of the injector<br />
lead to a particularly limited overhang<br />
at the back of the slurry<br />
tanker, which makes it possible<br />
to significantly reduce the<br />
strains on the slurry tanker.<br />
In option, it is possible to choose<br />
truck-type lights.<br />
Pincers<br />
The meadow injectors are mounted on the same type of support.<br />
This standardization of the frame makes it possible to interchange<br />
the spreading elements. These single-beam frames are made of<br />
high tensile steel offering the best <strong>com</strong>promise between strength<br />
and lightness.<br />
The injectors are standard fitted with mechanical anti-drip pincers<br />
which automatically release the injection pipe when the injection<br />
element touches the ground (and inversely when the element is<br />
lifted from the ground).<br />
-14-
Meadow injectors<br />
Each pincer is fitted with a rounded jaw and a pinching stop in order<br />
to limit the wear to the rubber injection cone as much as possible.<br />
Hydraulic pincers are also available in option both on the Multi-<br />
Action and Solodisc.<br />
Free steering elements<br />
The injection elements are made up of 2 outlets and are fixed<br />
to the chassis by means of an axis. As a result, they can pivot<br />
by 30° in bends (15° to the left and 15° to the right) and the<br />
user does not have to lift the machine and does not damage<br />
the grass.<br />
Lockmatic<br />
The models that are more<br />
than three meters wide are<br />
fitted with a double acting<br />
(DA) hydraulic folding system<br />
in order to abide by the<br />
prescribed transport width.<br />
In this case, the folding system<br />
is fitted with the Lock-<br />
Matic © automatic locking in<br />
order to enhance the driving safety as much as possible, namely<br />
on the road. This locking device is operated by the same hydraulic<br />
function as the folding system, thanks to the steered valves.<br />
‘‘Wet surface’’ device<br />
The ‘‘Wet surface kit’’ valve: the Solodisc works by applying a constant<br />
pressure on the linkage. As a result, it is possible, when arriving<br />
in a humid place, that the injector goes deeper into the ground.<br />
Therefore, in order to maintain the same working depth everywhere,<br />
the Solodisc can be equipped with the ‘‘Wet surface kit’’ device<br />
allowing to lift the rear tool when going from a dry zone to a humid<br />
zone (see explanations page 9).<br />

JOSKIN multi-action<br />
General points<br />
The major advantage of the Multi-Action remains its low weight.<br />
This injector <strong>com</strong>bines modularity, simplicity of the construction and<br />
requires very little maintenance. If, initially, it is a meadow injector, it<br />
can turn out to be multifunctional on certain grounds, stubble-fields<br />
or growing crops.<br />
Structure<br />
The Multi-Action is made up of a single-beam frame carrying free<br />
steering elements fixed with a 21,5 cm spacing. The end of each<br />
free steering element, which is fully galvanized and made up of two<br />
arms with independent deflection, is fitted with a self-sharpening<br />
share followed by an injection cone.<br />
working from a given<br />
operating height only,<br />
the stay springs allow<br />
to apply the shares<br />
on the ground with a<br />
given pressure. This<br />
pressure in 2 phases<br />
ensures ground clearance<br />
for the chassis<br />
and a flexibility in the<br />
deflection of the elements.<br />
The long arms on which the shares are fixed allow :<br />
• to ensure a great deflection up to 25 cm to <strong>com</strong>pensate the<br />
ground unevenness<br />
• to avoid all vibrations on the elements, even at a speed higher<br />
than 10km/h<br />
• to ensure a regular slurry deposit on the ground without splashing<br />
Locking the elements<br />
for transport<br />
The cutting share makes a groove in the ground, with an injection<br />
depth ranging from 0 to 3 cm. Then, slurry flows through the injection<br />
cone and is smoothly laid down in the middle of this groove<br />
without splashing the plants.<br />
The stay springs are also the base of the Multi-Action: <strong>com</strong>bined<br />
to the springs serving as mechanical shock absorbers and starting<br />
-16-<br />
Once the injector is folded, the<br />
elements which are situated on<br />
the upper arms are maintained<br />
in position by a locking system.<br />
A simple notch prevents each<br />
element from making a rotation<br />
round its axis and from falling<br />
down. The elements<br />
remain thus very rigid in<br />
relation to the vibrations<br />
due to transport.
JOSKIN multi-action<br />
Control of the hydraulic functions<br />
Concerning the hydraulic controls,<br />
the Multi-Action requires<br />
the use of the Easymatic+<br />
sequential block. This block<br />
operates the macerator, the<br />
linkage and the tank valve.<br />
However, it is not fitted with<br />
the function ensuring a constant<br />
pressure on the linkage,<br />
as the Multi-Action works<br />
thanks to its own weight. In<br />
option, it is possible to install<br />
an automatic reverser for the<br />
macerator with or without nitrogen<br />
balls (Switch-Matic).<br />
The electric reverser with manual<br />
control in the cabin is also available in option on this type of<br />
injector.<br />
If the Multi-Action is fitted with hydraulic pincers, it will then have to<br />
be equipped with an Instamatic sequential block. This block operates<br />
- beside the macerator, the linkage and the tank valve - the<br />
opening and closing of the pincers.<br />
Options<br />
Two other options can turn out to be particularly judicious on the<br />
Multi-Action:<br />
• the spring suspension<br />
for the linkage:<br />
this equipment<br />
makes it possible<br />
to take a part of<br />
the load of the injector<br />
in order to<br />
avoid this one from<br />
sinking too deeply<br />
into humid and<br />
spongy ground<br />
• discs (Ø 250 x 3<br />
mm) can be placed<br />
in front of<br />
the shares of the<br />
Multi-Action to<br />
work on grounds<br />
covered with a lot<br />

JOSKIN Solodisc<br />
The Solodisc is made up of free steering elements that are fully<br />
galvanized and each fitted with a pair of discs, followed by a<br />
2-position injection cone. The discs are placed at a distance of<br />
21.5 cm from each other. As far as the injection cone is concerned,<br />
it is made up of a galvanized spout, an anti-drip pincer and<br />
a very flexible injection cone of profiled rubber.<br />
pin and two symmetrical stay springs ensuring<br />
a constant spacing after a lateral<br />
movement (max. 30°).<br />
The injection depth<br />
is adjustable (max. 6<br />
cm). This one is kept<br />
constant thanks to a<br />
continuous pressure<br />
on the linkage. The<br />
pressure has simply<br />
to be modified, by<br />
means of an adjusting<br />
wheel, to adapt<br />
-18-<br />
General points<br />
The SOLODISC meadow injector is the ideal tool for a highly precise<br />
spreading on your meadows. It is made up of modular discs<br />
with large diameter (406 mm x 19 mm), which gives it its multifunctionality<br />
on growing crops, stubble-fields, etc.<br />
Structure<br />
The injector works as follows:<br />
the sharpened disc makes a<br />
neat and precise groove. The<br />
slurry is then laid down in the<br />
groove by the rubber cone<br />
that is situated just behind<br />
the disc.<br />
To remind you, the injection<br />
device rests on free steering<br />
elements made up of a hinge<br />
the working depth. It is also possible to modify the fixing points<br />
of the <strong>com</strong>plete elements on their frame to adjust the injection<br />
depth. Besides, springs are used as mechanical shock absorbers<br />
and apply the discs with a given pressure on the ground,<br />
thereby limiting the injection depth variations and allowing a vertical<br />
deflection of the elements in order to adapt to the transverse<br />
ground unevenness (up to 25 cm).<br />
In option, the Solodisc disc<br />
injector can be fitted with a<br />
cross-<strong>com</strong>pensation system<br />
with hydraulic circuit<br />
(instead of springs) keeping<br />
the same ground pressure<br />
for each element while preventing<br />
structure torsions<br />
(<strong>com</strong>municating vessels<br />
principle).<br />
Hydraulics<br />
If the injector is more than 3<br />
m wide, it is fitted with a hydraulic<br />
folding system. The<br />
transport width of the injectors with mechanical cross-<strong>com</strong>pensation<br />
is 2.68 m, while that of the injectors with hydraulic <strong>com</strong>pensation<br />
is 2.58 m.<br />
A <strong>com</strong>pression chamber is placed in the chassis<br />
and works on the hydraulic element <strong>com</strong>pensation.<br />
This <strong>com</strong>pression chamber automatically lifts every<br />
injection element to reduce the transport width<br />
of the Solodisc while increasing the ground clearance.<br />
Still to make transport more<br />
secure, a hydraulic mechanism with automatic<br />
control is also placed in the frame of the Solodisc<br />
in order to keep the elements perpendicular<br />
to the single-beam frame.
JOSKIN Solodisc<br />
Discs<br />
The Solodisc injector is also characterized by easily interchangeable<br />
discs. As a result, it is very easy to adapt the machine to your<br />
own needs. The self-sharpening discs (Ø 406 mm x 19 mm) are<br />
standard mounted on all machines. Made of cast steel, they are<br />
very resistant, and therefore everlasting. Another model of discs<br />
is also available in option:<br />
Ø 300 x 3 mm with shares.<br />
They allow to somewhat lighten<br />
the injector and penetrate<br />
more easily into the ground.<br />
These discs are <strong>com</strong>bined to<br />
groove widening shares in order<br />
to keep a correct spreading<br />
volume.<br />
The discs are mounted on hubs with<br />
(tightening) conical<br />
bearings,<br />
which are hermetically<br />
closed<br />
and over-dimensioned.<br />
Because<br />
of the resistance<br />
of the<br />
Ø 406 mm discs, the Solodisc requires less<br />
maintenance, even if it is used for years.<br />
Control of the hydraulic functions<br />
The Solodisc is standard fitted with the Polymatic hydraulic block,<br />
the use of which is very simple as the driver only has to operate<br />
one double-acting distributor in the cabin of the tractor.<br />
This hydraulic block automatically operates the following four<br />
functions:<br />
• starting and stopping the macerator<br />
• the linkage<br />
• opening and closing the rear valve<br />
• lifting or lowering the linkage, and applying the constant pressure<br />
on the ground<br />
The Instamatic block is required to operate all these functions<br />
with, beside, the hydraulic pincers.<br />
Options<br />
Among the most interesting options, it is important to mention:<br />
• The reverser of the macerator (re<strong>com</strong>mended) and the nitrogen<br />
balls.<br />
• The hydraulic pincers: the Solodisc is standard fitted with mechanical<br />
anti-drip pincers preventing any loss of slurry on headland<br />
and ensuring a carefull and even slurry injection at the beginning<br />
and at the end of a working lane.<br />
These pincers are mechanically opened<br />
and closed by the linkage. In option, the<br />
pincers can be operated by a single-acting<br />
hydraulic cylinder.<br />

twinjet boom<br />
The Twinjet spreading boom makes it possible to spread slurry in a<br />
traditional way by means of a ‘‘dual-nozzle’’ system. The two nozzles<br />
have a swinging scatterer at their end, allowing to spread over<br />
a very large width.<br />
The swinging scatterer is activated by the spreading pressure,<br />
<strong>com</strong>bined with an ingenious mechanical system. Thanks to this design,<br />
slurry is thrown out alternately in one and the other direction,<br />
so that these sheets offer a very low air resistance.<br />
The slurry transfer device is based on the <strong>com</strong>pression system of<br />
the spreader. At the exit of the tank, the slurry is distributed through<br />
a distribution box with two outlets, then it is expelled towards the<br />
swinging scatterers, which distribute it in sheets, the width of which<br />
can be adjusted.<br />
The distribution box has two Ø 125 mm outlets with quick coupling<br />
and includes a deflecting<br />
plate, holding back most of<br />
the foreign bodies (‘‘stone<br />
trap’’). This stone trap is then<br />
emptied easily by an access<br />
to the distribution box.<br />
The boom, which is mounted<br />
on cross-pieces with<br />
height adjustment or on linkage<br />
(option), is fitted with<br />
a hydraulic folding system<br />
operated by two DA cylinders.<br />
The JOSKIN spreading booms are fitted with self-lubrificating<br />
bushings.<br />

multitwist boom<br />
The JOSKIN Multitwist multi-nozzle spreading booms allow<br />
to spread slurry over a large width (12 to 24 m), close to the<br />
ground, under the form of ‘‘umbrella-like’’ jets.<br />
This spreading tool is made up of two main pipes supported by<br />
two triangular frames. In the 12 m version, the two main pipes<br />
feed each of the four nozzles ended by vanes.<br />
The slurry transfer circuit starts at a collector, which distributes<br />
the slurry <strong>com</strong>ing from the tank through two rubber flexible pipes<br />
(Ø 125 mm). These pipes bring slurry in a straight line to the middle<br />
of each main pipe, so that the flow is not slackened and the<br />
pressure is optimal and uniform on each spreading nozzle.<br />
The projection system mounted at the end of each smaller nozzle<br />
is made of a rubber cone directed to a circular deflector. A rear<br />
plate ensures an even spreading.<br />
A quick opening cap, fixed on the outer ends of the main nozzles,<br />
allows to clean easily and quickly.<br />
The JOSKIN Multitwist boom is usually fixed to galvanized<br />
cross-pieces (with height adjustment), but can also be mounted<br />
on a 4-point linkage.<br />
The advantages of the Multitwist spreading boom<br />
are: large spreading width, ease of use, even distribution<br />
of slurry on the ground. The projection height<br />
(50 - 60 cm) ensures a very low wind resistance and<br />
contributes to the uniformity of the spreading pattern.<br />
For a clean transport, without slurry losses, the Twist<br />
system allows a 150° rotation of the boom.<br />
Besides this anti-drip function, the Twist system has other advantages:<br />
• it makes the linkage ‘‘secondary’’<br />
• it offers a limited overhang<br />
• it allows, in option, to spread with an exact scatterer without<br />
having to take off the boom The macerator, as well as two<br />
manual or hydraulic valves, have just to be added on the distribution<br />
box.<br />
The JOSKIN<br />
Multitwist boom is fitted<br />
with a hydraulic<br />
folding system. The<br />
articulating points of<br />
the boom has been<br />
designed in such a<br />
way that their transport<br />
width does not<br />
exceed 3 metres.<br />
During transport, the<br />
whole is fastened by<br />
a boom clipping system.<br />
This system has a height adjustment system and a craddle<br />
with a damping rubber.<br />
Another safety that can turn out to be very useful in certain conditions<br />
is the anti-crash safety system.<br />
This system is standard mounted on all<br />
Multitwist booms and consists in<br />
fitting each boom wing with an articulation<br />
and stay springs. In this<br />
way, when spreading on a bumpy<br />
ground, the ends of the boom will<br />
retract (max. 55 cm) when hitting<br />
the ground. Mounting the wings at<br />
the end of the oblong holes allows them to pivot and to go back<br />
to their initial position.<br />

Penditwist boom<br />
General points<br />
From an agronomic point of view, the JOSKIN Penditwist line<br />
spreading boom is very interesting as it makes it possible to lay<br />
slurry at the foot of the plants without slowing down on the ground<br />
of the vegetation and with no slurry residue in the forage (essential<br />
for grass and maize silage). Moreover, because it is manufactured<br />
in fully galvanized steel, it offers very interesting durability characteristics.<br />
The machine is made up of a triangular structure articulated<br />
on a central frame and supporting line spreading hoses that are<br />
fixed at regular intervals (250 or 300 mm according to the type of<br />
boom).<br />
The working principle of the Penditwist boom is very simple. Coming<br />
from the tank, the slurry goes through one (two) macerator(s) before<br />
flowing into the pipes and being softly laid down on the ground.<br />
Macerator<br />
The macerator is of utmost importance in order to make sure the<br />
Penditwist works properly. The 9 m booms have one single macerator<br />
while the booms from 12 m have two of them, in order to get<br />
a greater reactivity at the beginning of the spreading phase and to<br />
reduce the load losses (slurry is more uniformly spread).<br />
The macerators of the Penditwist are vertical<br />
and have horizontal outlets allowing to<br />
place the pipes in an optimal way. As a result,<br />
the load losses are limited and slurry<br />
is more homogeneously distributed, even<br />
at the end of a 18 m boom. The advantage<br />
of vertical macerators is their small overall<br />
dimensions. The total height of the boom is<br />
therefore limited.<br />
An electric reverser on macerator is standard<br />
mounted on each model, with a purpose-made control in the<br />
tractor cabin (see details page 8).<br />
Control of the hydraulic functions<br />
The simplified hydraulic control of the boom is ensured by the Easymatic<br />
sequential block operating the start of the macerator(s) as<br />
well as the linkage.<br />
Hitching<br />
The JOSKIN Penditwist booms are standard fitted with linking<br />
cross-pieces allowing the height adjustment. These cross-pieces<br />
are then hitched to the JOSKIN 4-point linkage of the spreader.<br />
Hydraulic folding<br />
All booms are fitted with the hydraulic folding system and the Twist<br />
system. This last allows to obtain the best anti-drip system ever.<br />
The Twist system turns the line spreading hoses <strong>com</strong>pletely over,<br />
thereby avoiding any loss of slurry on the road while helping to<br />
protect the environment. Other advantage of the Twist system: the<br />
line spreading hoses are pointed backwards and smootly lay slurry<br />
down without splashing (see photos page 23). The <strong>com</strong>pletely folded<br />
boom has an insignificant overhang that does not affect at all<br />
the driving of the carriage.<br />
The hydraulic folding system has the following parameters:<br />
• hydraulic safety device<br />
• locking of the boom wings in transport position thanks to interlocking<br />
supports<br />
• rams positioned askew (not vertically) to better hold the boom in<br />
position (reduction of the swinging movement)<br />
For the wide spreading booms, there is a double hydraulic folding<br />
system, significantly reducing the bulk along the tank<br />
(in option on 15 m and standard on 18 m).<br />
For higher safety, the folded boom is such that the position of the<br />
macerators is pointed inwards so as not to exceed the boom size.<br />
Moreover, each boom is standard fitted with an anti-crash safety<br />
system allowing a potential boom deflection of 55 cm in case it<br />
woud <strong>com</strong>e into contact with an obstacle.<br />
Traditional spreading<br />
Provided your slurry tanker is equipped with the<br />
option ‘‘Exact scatterer through linkage’’, it is<br />
always possible to spread in a traditional way.<br />
Thanks to the height adjustment by means of<br />
the cross-pieces, it is not necessary to remove<br />
the boom to spread in sheets.<br />
