JOSKIN Solodisc
The Solodisc is made up of free steering elements that are fully
galvanized and each fitted with a pair of discs, followed by a
2-position injection cone. The discs are placed at a distance of
21.5 cm from each other. As far as the injection cone is concerned,
it is made up of a galvanized spout, an anti-drip pincer and
a very flexible injection cone of profiled rubber.
pin and two symmetrical stay springs ensuring
a constant spacing after a lateral
movement (max. 30°).
The injection depth
is adjustable (max. 6
cm). This one is kept
constant thanks to a
continuous pressure
on the linkage. The

General points
The SOLODISC meadow injector is the ideal tool for a highly precise
spreading on your meadows. It is made up of modular discs
with large diameter (406 mm x 19 mm), which gives it its multifunctionality
on growing crops, stubble-fields, etc.
Structure
The injector works as follows:
the sharpened disc makes a
neat and precise groove. The
slurry is then laid down in the
groove by the rubber cone
that is situated just behind
the disc.
To remind you, the injection
device rests on free steering
elements made up of a hinge
the working depth. It is also possible to modify the fixing points
of the complete elements on their frame to adjust the injection
depth. Besides, springs are used as mechanical shock absorbers
and apply the discs with a given pressure on the ground,
thereby limiting the injection depth variations and allowing a vertical
deflection of the elements in order to adapt to the transverse
ground unevenness (up to 25 cm).
In option, the Solodisc disc
injector can be fitted with a
cross-compensation system
with hydraulic circuit
(instead of springs) keeping
the same ground pressure
for each element while preventing
structure torsions
(communicating vessels
principle).
Hydraulics
If the injector is more than 3
m wide, it is fitted with a hydraulic
folding system. The
transport width of the injectors with mechanical cross-compensation
is 2.68 m, while that of the injectors with hydraulic compensation
is 2.58 m.
A compression chamber is placed in the chassis
and works on the hydraulic element compensation.
This compression chamber automatically lifts every
injection element to reduce the transport width
of the Solodisc while increasing the ground clearance.
Still to make transport more
secure, a hydraulic mechanism with automatic
control is also placed in the frame of the Solodisc
in order to keep the elements perpendicular
to the single-beam frame.
