Rotary silage spreader

Rotary silage spreader SILO TWIST

The silage spreader as the basis for best forage quality

High-quality basic feed keeps animals healthy. The quality of the basic feed is not only defined by correct mowing, tedding, swathing and loading. The loading of the feed into the bunker silo and homogeneous distribution and compaction thereof are also an important element for optimal feed utilisation. The SILO TWIST model series distributes the feed ideally across the width and is perfectly suited for use in bunker silos with homogeneous feed distribution. Thanks to the folding swath curtain (option), this rotary silage spreader guarantees homogeneous silage distribution with an exact edge structure, even in free-standing silo heaps without walls.

Effectiveness due to intelligent technology

The MAMMUT rotary silage spreader ensures that the unloaded feed layers are evenly distributed within the quickest time. This ensures rapid and homogeneous compaction.

A well thought-out concept

As well as effectiveness, uncomplicated handling during ensiling and the distribution capacity of the device play a decisive part. Well thought-out accessories such as optional swath curtains make the distribution process much easier.

Compact silo edge

When the harvest is loaded into the silo, efficient feed distribution is crucial. The MAMMUT rotary silage spreader delivers the best results even with free-standing silo heaps and guarantees a precise silo edge thanks to the optional swath limiters.

Your benefits at a glance:

Best feed quality by means of even distribution in the trench silo

High intake of basic feed is the decisive factor for maximum milk yield with the best possible animal welfare. Increased concentrated feed cannot compensate this. Only nutritious and aerobically stable silage is gladly eaten because of its taste.

Gleichmäßig verteiltes Futter im Flachsilo

In order to be able to produce high-quality silage, many points in the value chain from feed collection to loading into the silo are important. This concerns the choice of the right time for harvesting, the degree of wilting of the feed, the loading and unloading technology and also the optimal distribution, compaction and covering of the feed. When the feed is unloaded and loaded into the bunker silo, it is important for it to be evenly distributed up to the edges of the silo in order to consistently avoid air inclusions and subsequent fermentation pockets. This is the only way to ensure that stable lactic acid fermentation takes place. The individual layers should not be higher than 30 cm – so the feed can also be properly compacted afterwards.

With the rotary silage distributors from MAMMUT, the individual feed layers are distributed quickly and easily across the width of the bunker silo. The three models of the SILO TWIST series provide a wide range of possible uses and accessory options, as well as perfect adaptation to any operation.

A high degree of impact power in feed production is required

A well-coordinated silage making chain increases efficiency in the silo and therefore makes a major contribution to having a stable silage fermentation process. Short harvesting windows require perfect coordination and organisation of the work steps. In order not to interrupt the harvesting chain that is in progress, the rotary silage distributors from MAMMUT are important components in silage production.

Precise silo edges thanks to optional swath curtains

With the Silo Twist HURRICANE, CERES or DONAR silage distributors, the unloaded feed is usually brought into an optimal layer thickness in just one pass, and distributed up to the edge of the silo. This increases the efficiency and valuable time is gained for compaction. The edge of the silo also plays an important role: An excess of grass at the edges of the silo increases reliability during subsequent passes and guarantees perfect compaction.

Missing bunker silo walls – no problem

Due to the side swath limiters, an almost vertical build-up of the silo contents is possible without side limitations. The optional swath limiters prevent the feed from being thrown over the edge of the silo in an uncontrolled manner and ensure that a reliable compaction process takes place at the edge.

Uniform spreading pattern for the best feed quality

A uniform spreading pattern is crucial when distributing the silage in the bunker silo in order to ensure that optimal compaction takes place. The rotors of the SILO TWIST series with their well thought-out design enable the unloaded feed to be distributed quickly and easily.

The approx. 45 cm high rotors are curved in the Silo Twist HURRICANE models. With this model, unloading quantities of up to approx. 80 cm can therefore be distributed effortlessly and usually in just one pass. The slanted tubes ensure working quiet. In addition, the base of the rotor is lower than the distribution arms, and therefore glides on top of the compacted layer without digging into the feed.

The rotors of the Silo Twist CERES model are identical to those of the HURRICANE model. However, this model differs by having a bigger gearbox and a heavier overall weight. The Silo Twist CERES is therefore ideally suited for use in long-fibre, heavy feed.

The professional model Silo Twist DONAR is equipped with approx. 67 cm high, straight rotors. In combination with the large gearbox, this model is ideal for unloading quantities of up to 120 cm in height. The straight arms increase the spreading width in order to be able to reduce even large unloading quantities to even layer thicknesses.

Maximum working convenience: easy swivelling

A hydraulic pivoting device is a convenient but also important accessory for silage distribution, with which the feed can be ideally transported to the edge of the silo. The pivot point for the swivelling device is located close to the three-point linkage in all MAMMUT silage spreaders.

Well thought-out equipment options

For even more working convenience, MAMMUT silage distributors have a wide range of accessory options such as hydraulically folding swath limiters for a precise edge build-up in the bunker silo. To ensure that the individual tools can be conveniently controlled, the DONAR type even comes with an electronic control system with display as standard.
