This allows the user to significantly reduce
nutrient emissions. Among other things, the
Vogelsang precision distributors and a clever
hose layout ensure the highest distribution
accuracy during liquid manure spreading,
so that plants are evenly supplied with the
important nutrients. The stable end hoses
ensure that the digestate is spread under the
crops while still adapting flexibly to the soil
conditions.

Vogelsang GmbH & Co. KG (www.vogelsang.
info) develops, produces and sells technical
high-quality and easy-to-maintain machines
worldwide. Its head office is located in Essen/
Oldb. in Lower Saxony, Germany. Founded in
1929, as a manufacturer of agricultural machinery,
the company has grown to become
a specialist in individual configurable machines,
plants and systems for the waste water,
agriculture, biogas, industrial and transportation
sectors with over 900 employees
worldwide.
The company offers products for economical
digestate management, and its invention of
the dribble bar system and precision distributor
has played a major role in modern precision
liquid manure spreading technology.
Vogelsang has developed dribble bar systems
for tankers, self-propelled vehicles and umbilical
systems. The dribble bar system deposits
digestate close to the soil under the
plant, which is thus, optimally supplied with
all nutrients.
Robust frame designs ensure durability. The
Vogelsang dribble bar systems are designed
for working widths of up to 36 metres. This reduces
passages and has a gentle effect on the
soil. Thanks to flexible management of partwidth
sections, these linkages can also be
flexibly adapted to various working widths. In
addition, Vogelsang has the SwingUp Slide
trailing shoe systems with a working width
of up to 18 metres and SwingMax Slide with
up to 30 metres in its portfolio. In individual
cases, retrofitting of existing dribble bar systems
is also possible.
With the Strip Till process, Vogelsang has
placed another innovation on the market.
With the XTill ProTerra, Vogelsang was one of
the world’s first suppliers of a fully developed
unit that combines Strip Till technology with
root-level liquid manure fertilization. With
the XTill VarioCrop, Vogelsang added a Strip
Till unit for any type of crop with root-level
liquid manure fertilization to the XTill product
family.
As a partner for the digestion phase, Vogelsang
advises consultants, planners and operators
of biogas plants and supplies pumping,
shredding, disintegration and solid matter
feeder technology for economical and efficient
plant operation.
