Fertiliser Spreader Manifold and Motor Housing

Metalform, an innovative machinery manufacturer, developed a unique fertiliser spreader.  They were plagued with multiple leakages, inefficiency and reliability in their spreader hydraulics, designed and supplied by a well-known hydraulic supplier.

Solution

Progressive Group redesigned their system, incorporating a bespoke integrated manifold into the motor housing, incorporating all the necessary valves. The design eliminated a myriad of pipe work and joints, removed potential leaks, while making the system significantly more compact and efficient.  The manifolds were manufactured in house in Progressive’s modern Precision CNC machine shop.

Testimonial

Rodney and the team at Progressive Hydraulics were very helpful during the development process of our Tow and Fert Multi 4000 fertiliser sprayer. During the development we had been experiencing repeated failures of motor seals. Progressive Hydraulics took one look at our situation and came up with a cost effective and most importantly reliable solution that has now proven itself in the field for the last few years. I would be very happy to recommend their services and products to other OEM’s.
