RCW HELIX

Spreading beam

The HELIX distributing beam is a key element in RCW spreaders adapted for dusty lime spreading. Hydraulically driven augers move with speed of about 160 rpm, distributing fertilizer evenly over the entire working width (9 or 12 m).

Beam suspension

The beam consists of two parts, independently hydraulically folded. In order to drive headland safely it is possible to lift the beam arms to the "V" position, without any need to fold into the transport position.

Distribution adjustment

The adjustable bars of dosing holes allow to set the amount of dispensed fertilizer in such a way, that its distribution is even over the entire working width.

Protective covers

Covers reduce dusting and prevent fertilizer blowing by the wind. During transport they can be rolled up and secured using the expander.

Barriers LH/RH

The independent barrier control allows to spread fertilizer at half of the working width in order to reduce overlays. During single-side spreading an inactive beam part can be folded into the transport position.

Hydraulic drive

The hydraulic drive of belt conveyor ensures a great flexibility of spreading dose adjustment.

Large hopper

The fertilizer hopper with a capacity of 13 000 or 16 000 l is adapted to dusty fertilizers transportation due to its hermetic construction.

Hopper tarpaulin cover

Hopper tarpaulin cover is a standard equipment of RCW HELIX fertilizer spreaders. It prevents dusting of fertilizer and also protects the contents of the hopper from moisture.

Loading valve

Hydrant connections are used for quick pneumatic loading of dusty fertilizers directly from the tank car. One of them redirects the fertilizer to the front of the hopper, the second one - to the rear part.

Tandem chassis

The tandem suspension allows the weight to be distributed over a larger area, preventing excessive kneading of the soil. In addition, it reduces the shocks occurring when driving on uneven fields, stabilizing the work of the spreading beam.

Spring shock-absorption of drawbar

Spiral spring shock-absorption of drawbar reduces the loads transferred to the tractor's lower hitch and increases working comfort.

Spreading discs

The RCW HELIX spreaders in standard are equipped with a disc adapter for spreading of granulated fertilizers and lime, which significantly increases the possibility of using the machine in the season.
