Lime equipment

Double benefit – lime and fertiliser distributed to perfection

A particular characteristic of the ZG-TX is the simple changeover between the spreading unit for lime and the TS spreading unit for granular mineral fertilisers. Just the individual components need to be changed or moved to the park position. Thanks to the clever software, the terminal recognises that the spreader has been converted. The combi spreader is converted completely in around 25 minutes enabling either lime or fertiliser then to be spread. The benefits of both systems are used after changing over.


Only 4 components have to be changed in this intuitive conversion: 
1. Scatter guard
2. Spreading discs
3. Funnel chute
4. Filling sieves


The benefits: 

  • Quick changeover of fewer components 
  • Intuitively supported by software 
  • No technological compromises in the spreading unit 
  • Flexible use ensures economic utilisation

No compromises when using lime

In addition to its performance when undertaking arduous lime spreading, precision was also at the focus of the developments. For example, an optional rate reduction shutter also enables the even application of extremely small quantities of lime of less than 1 t/ha. Furthermore, from the off, the spread pattern can also be optimised for lime by means of a simple delivery point correction. The newly developed spreading unit distributes the lime effectively at working widths of up to 16 m.

Up to the boundary

As a special feature for combi spreaders, AMAZONE now also offers a border spread deflector for lime application as an option. This means that lime can also be precisely applied along field boundaries and ditches for the first time.

Low rate shutter slide for lime spreading

  • Can be swivelled down when spreading very small quantities of lime 
  • Smooth material flow at low application rates

Chain rake for lime

The optional chain rake provides for even and very clean loading of the spreading discs across the floor belt. If the ZG-TX is to be used again for spreading mineral fertiliser, the chains can be very easily and comfortably accommodated in a holder.

Spread pattern simulator

The spread pattern simulator gives an intuitive introduction to how a fertiliser spreader works. Optimal settings for a variety of combinations of fertilisers and working widths can be clearly displayed and the influence that wind and fertiliser quality have also shown. Try it for yourself…
