ZG-TS trailed spreader

Profis – Intelligent weighing system
With the frame-integrated Profis weighing system, the hopper and its frame are connected to a separate chassis via two 200 Hz weigh cells on the ZA-TS or via four weigh cells with the ZG-TS. Thus, there are no weight measuring points which are influenced by the traction forces of the tractor. Precise online weighing every 25 kg is the result! An additional tilt sensor is fitted to compensate for the inclination of the machine on slopes. In the case of the ZG-TS, the signal is also used to counter-steer on slopes via the steering axle to prevent the ZG-TS from drifting downhill.

Optimised spread rate from the very first second
This combination of the Profis weighing system and FlowControl enables the fertiliser spreader to use torque to regulate its theoretical application rate throughout the complete spreading process. The Profis weighing system monitors the actual spread rate every 25 kg. This allows FlowControl to recalibrate itself at regular intervals. This takes place without any need to stop. The ProfisPro intelligent weighing system means that the spread rate is optimised from the very first second of the spreading process. In addition, the driver has an overview of the actual quantity remaining in the hopper at all times as well as the possibility to display the remaining distance to travel until empty.

The benefits

• Absolute precision from the very first second 
• Side-independent calibration of the application rate in any field situation 
• Highest precision through simultaneous monitoring of the weighing system and the torque measurement 
• Detection of running empty and any blockages 
• Accurate weight recognition with indication of the quantity remaining and the remaining area 
• Documentation of the total amount applied 
• Additional features for ZG-TS: control of the steering axle on hilly terrain and load-dependent braking force control

The extremely clever Profis weighing system goes into action with its intelligent fill level management right from the loading stage. Without the use of an external scale, the system gives precise information about the load condition at all times, thus preventing overloading and empty travelling. Profis also sets standards as a filling aid as well as through the continuous measurement of the hopper contents.

The benefits

• Intelligent filling aid 
• Reliable fill level measurements even without using an external weighing system 
• Avoidance of unnecessary empty travelling and excessive residues

Operators will particularly love the filling aid provided by the work lights and the Profis weighing system. Initial flashing followed by the constant lighting up of the work lights signals that the fill level has been reached. A second person, or the frequent dismounting for checking, are no longer necessary.

Thanks to the real time measuring via the Profis weighing system, the axle and support loads can be optimally utilised during the filling procedure. This is because the loads on the axle and the drawbar are conveniently displayed during loading. Furthermore, the floor belt rises by 5 degrees which enables a transfer from the back to the front. This guarantees optimum load distribution during spreading. Maximum drawbar load and reduced axle loads enable safe driving in the field under all operating conditions.
