Umbilical System

The Slootsmid umbilical system is developed for farmers and contractors who aim for efficient slurry application with maximum capacity and minimal soil compaction. With continuous slurry supply through the umbilical hose, there is no need for tanker transport, saving valuable time and significantly reducing ground pressure. The system consists of three main components: the umbilical applicator, the SSH Profi hose reel and Slootsmid pump units. Together, they form a reliable, powerful and durable umbilical solution for all soil types.

Benefits of umbilical application

An umbilical system offers several advantages compared to traditional tanker spreading. Because the machine works without carrying slurry in a tank, the working weight is much lower, resulting in reduced soil compaction and improved crop growth. In addition, the constant slurry supply allows large areas to be covered quickly, without downtime or tank refilling. Umbilical application is therefore ideal for contractors with high daily output and farmers aiming for precision and optimal nutrient efficiency.

Umbilical applicator – compatible with nearly all Slootsmid injectors

Almost every Slootsmid Grassland or Arable Land injector can be supplied as an Drag Hose Injector. The standard injector is equipped with a single or double drag hose, making it part of a complete umbilical system. In combination with a pump unit and hose reel, Slootsmid provides a fully operational umbilical application system tailored to your requirements.

The main advantage of an umbilical applicator is the significantly lower operating weight, as no slurry is carried on the machine. This greatly reduces soil compaction and prevents damage to soil structure. The low weight also makes it possible to start spreading earlier in the season, even under wetter conditions, without compromising capacity or working width.

Hose reels – efficient and safe operation with long hose lengths

The SSH Hose Reel Profi is designed for professional users working intensively with umbilical systems. The reel makes it possible to roll up long hose lengths quickly and safely, without heavy manual work. Thanks to its robust construction, hydraulic operation and generous hose capacity, the reel is suitable for both agricultural and irrigation applications.

Key advantages

• Fast and controlled winding of long umbilical hoses

• High capacity thanks to different drum diameters

• Designed for intensive use and long service life
