High-quality, multi-layer paint finish

The paintwork on a fertiliser spreader is exposed to particular demands. The paintwork is intended to protect the spreader from corrosion, especially when handling fertiliser and where moisture is involved. Starting with the 2022 model year, there is a new painting process for the ZA-V, ZA-TS and ZG-TS fertiliser spreader ranges. This involves, one the one hand, a cathodic dip painting process (known as KTL) for priming 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 mechanical demands.

7-year manufacturer guarantee

Based on this optimum painting process, AMAZONE is able to offer its customers a manufacturer guarantee of seven years against rusting through, starting with the 2022 model year. 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:
2,200 kg payload, Cat. II linkage dimensions and hitch pins.

Super frame:
3,200 kg payload, Cat. II linkage dimensions and hitch pins.

Ultra frame:
4,500 kg payload, Cat. III linkage dimensions with Cat. II/III hitch pins.

The advantages

• 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.
