UniSpread: Precision in a compact design
The universal applicator for effective slurry spreading

Problem: Small- to medium-sized farms need flexible slurry applicators that can be adapted to different field lengths and tank sizes. Large applicators are often uneconomical and difficult to handle. Older tank trailers are difficult to retrofit.

Solution: The UniSpread offers Vogelsang-BeTEC quality in working widths ranging from 6 to 12 m. It can be equipped as dribble bar or trailing shoes, or an umbilical application system and is ideal for retrofitting. With the ExaCut precision distributor and its robust design, it delivers uncompromising precision.

FAQ

What is the UniSpread and how does it work?

The UniSpread is a universal slurry applicator available in working widths from 6 to 12 m. It is mounted directly on tankers and can be equipped as dribble bar, trailing shoe, or umbilical application system. The plug-and-play system is attached using a 3-point or 4-point hitch. At its heart is the ExaCut slurry macerator, which cuts fibres in the slurry and performs precise distribution to all hoses simultaniously.

What are the advantages of the UniSpread?

The UniSpread stands out thanks to four main advantages: 

  • Save on the road —transportation widths of only 2.55 m
  • Lightweight—between 560 kg and 1,010 kg, reducing soil compaction and diesel costs
  • Precision spreading thanks to ExaCut slurry macerator
  • Minimal service—maintenance-free joints and UV-resistant hoses

How does the UniSpread achieve maximum spreading accuracy?

The high-performance ExaCut precision spreader chops fibrous matter to a minimum size and creates a homogeneous slurry consistency. Uniform hose lengths with a distance of 0.25 m guarantee simultaneous slurry flow from all openings. Robust, specialized hoses made of UV-resistant material guarantee long-term reliability.

How often does the UniSpread require maintenance?

The UniSpread is low-service: maintenance-free joints, UV-resistant hoses, and a fully galvanised frame. The ExaCut requires only occasional inspections. With reduced downtime, the system saves costs and enables higher annual utilization.

What working widths and variants are available?

The UniSpread is available in working widths of 6 m, 7.5 m, 9 m, 10.5 m, and 12 m. For each width, there are three application variants to choose from: dribble bar (close to the ground), trailing shoe (under the crop), and umbilical application system (ground-relieving). The 9 m, 10.5 m, and 12 m working widths offer optional automatic end-arm folding for a 2.5 m transport width.

For which operations is the UniSpread suitable?

The UniSpread is suitable for family farms with smaller acreage, older tanker truck retrofits, contract farming operations requiring flexible applications, organic farms (with optional flow measurement), and mountain farming. Its compact dimensions and versatile design make it a cost-effective solution for many types of operations.

Why choose the UniSpread universal applicator?

The UniSpread stands out thanks to its combination of compact design, precision, and proven Vogelsang-BeTEC quality. Here are its key advantages:

  • Maximum spreading accuracy for optimal nutrient utilization: The ExaCut slurry macerator guarantees homogeneous slurry quality and even distribution across all hoses. With a coefficient of variation below 5%, every field plot is precisely supplied. This prevents the “V-shaped” pattern caused by starting and overlaps—measurably better nutrient efficiency leads to higher yields.
  • Minimal soil compaction thanks to an ultra-lightweight design: With weights ranging from 560 kg (6-meter hose) to 1,010 kg (12-meter shoe), the UniSpread significantly reduces compaction pressure. This preserves soil health in the long term.
  • Reliable retrofitting for older tankers: The UniSpread is the ideal retrofit solution: Plug-and-play assembly, flexible mounting, and pre-assembly make installation straightforward. Despite its compact dimensions, it is ideal to retrofit and offers full Vogelsang-BeTEC quality—no compromise on precision or reliability.
  • Proven durability and minimal service: Robust full galvanization, maintenance-free joints, UV-resistant hoses, and reliable ExaCut slurry macerators minimize downtime and maintenance costs. With reduced downtime, the UniSpread enables higher annual utilization and better cost efficiency.

Overview of application options

UniSpread dribble bar applicator

Working widths from 6 to 12 m
The UniSpread dribble bar applicator deposits slurry precisely on the ground—directly onto the crop without causing damage. High-quality materials ensure durable ends and minimal wear. Ideal for flexible field operations with quick changes between different field types.

UniSpread trailing shoe applicator

Working widths from 6 to 12 m
The UniSpread trailing shoe applicator deposits slurry directly beneath the plant—cleanly, close to the roots avoiding feed contamination, and with minimal loss. The special skid opens up the crop stand without causing damage. The innovative shoe design ensures an even flow of slurry. Ideal for high precision in grasslands or early crops.

UniSpread umbilical system

Working widths from 6 to 10.5 m
The UniSpread umbilical system reduces strain on the soil and allows for more flexible operating times—thanks to reduced weight, even in wet conditions. By eliminating tank filling, the system saves time and ensures continuous spreading. Ideal for difficult terrain and soil protection.
