High-quality, multi-layer paint finish

The paintwork on a fertiliser spreader is exposed to extreme demands. The paintwork is designed to protect the spreader from corrosion, especially when handling fertiliser and where moisture is involved. AMAZONE uses a new paint process for the ZA-V fertiliser spreaders. This involves, on the one hand, a cathodic dip painting process (known as KTL) for the primer to give the best possible protection on the internal surfaces of tubes and box sections and, on the other hand, a powder coating process to create a high-quality visual finish with extra-thick paint providing increased protection against physical wear and tear. 

7 year manufacturer’s guarantee

Based on this optimum painting process, AMAZONE is able to offer its customers a manufacturer guarantee of seven years against rusting through. From 01/01/2023, customers can apply to have the guarantee activated for ZA-V, ZA-TS, and ZG-TS models, starting from the 2022 model year. This registration is done very simply via the manufacturer’s portal, myAmazone, bearing in mind the terms and conditions (www.amazone.net/7-years) stated there. After registration, one can continue to work without any worries.

The benefits

Cathodic dip painting process 

• Suppression of rust infiltration 
• Best possible protection, even on the inner surfaces of tubes and box sections 

Powder coated top coat 

• Double protection through additionally applied powder coating 
• Improved resistance against everyday wear and tear 

Quality and reliability 

• All the components on the spreading system and all hydraulic fittings are made from stainless steel 
• Impact, UV and chemical resistant plastic sieves

High-quality, multi-layer paint finish – the most modern from all angles

• 14-step paint preparation (e.g. degreasing)
• Zinc phosphating provides the most effective counteraction of rust formation 
• Thick cathodic dip priming for full corrosion protection, even in cavities and those hard-to-reach areas 
• Powder coating for a high-quality appearance and extra thick paint for increased protection against mechanical demands

• The combination of tried and tested painting techniques brings together the best from all areas, resulting in a high-quality multi-layer paint finish

Special frame:

Outstanding design: mounted spreaders with up to 4,500 kg payload

The benefits

• lightweight frame design with excellent rigidity
• optimised centre of gravity and yet plenty of space for hitching up

The base hopper has a volume of 700 l. It is deep-drawn meaning that it does not have any corners, edges or welded seams. This provides a continual and even flow of the fertiliser. Also the cleaning of the spreader is made easy thanks to this design.

The benefits of the design:

• No corners and edges
• Even and constant flow of the fertiliser
• Less danger of bridging
• Corrosion resistant
• Simple cleaning procedure

For subsequent increases to the hopper capacity of the ZA-V, AMAZONE offers, for the S and L base hopper extensions, a further suitable bolt-on extension. The volume of these bolt-on extensions is 600 l for the S hopper width and 800 l for the L hopper width.
