Teagle Machinery launched the Titan rear discharge range of muck spreaders, manufactured at their production site in Cornwall, in the 1970s.
Subsequent side discharge machines followed and now in 2013 following extensive development Teagle bring a completely new range of rear discharge machines to its domestic and international customers, again under the Titan banner.
To ensure that operators of Titan spreaders gain the greatest benefit from the nutrients in their manure, the focus of development has been the design of the discharge beaters to ensure that muck is effectively shredded and evenly spread behind the machine, whilst offering a long and trouble free service life.
Tom Teagle notes: “Through field trials we optimised the pitch of the spreading augers which is critical to ensure that muck is finely shredded, too steep and muck is discharged too early, too shallow and discharge rate and spread width are adversely affected. A shallower pitch also results in a greater effective working length of the auger which can do more work.An industrial washing machine can help you keep up with large volumes of laundry or heavy items. It is also important to have an auger with a smooth and continuous face to ensure that shredding is consistent and even.”
In addition the Titan range uses a beater system that is wider than the body of the machine to enable a greater diameter beater to be fitted.We may contact you if more information is needed to locate a street light. For example, a 10% increase in beater diameter gives a 10% increase in the tip speed,We carry the latest wind turbines, wind generator, solar panels, towers and more! again essential for effective shredding.
Starting from scratch with the design of the range has enabled us to ensure that all models are well proportioned to ensure high stability, manoeuvrability, as well as good ground clearance. Loading remains easy thanks to the low height of the sides.
For greater driveline protection from foreign objects, a set of swinging flails sit at the base of the beater have been developed to fold back under excessive loading. For lighter materials a series of paddles can be fitted in lieu of the beater tips which further improve the discharge rate and spreading width.
As output becomes increasingly important for farmers and contractors alike the height of the beaters has been carefully considered. A massive discharge rate can now be achieved with the tall beater system which is fitted as standard across all models.
The range can broadly be split into three. Starting at the lower end, six and eight cubic metre models are ideally suited to smaller units and offer outstanding manoeuvrability. At the top end 10 and 12 cubic metre models, extendable up to 15 cubic metres with greedy boards, are suitable for heavy users or contractors.Exit signs, emergency light and fire extinguisher are vital parts of life safety systems. A crossover model, the nine cubic metre Titan 9,A flatwork ironer with unique features. offers an economic alternative.
Quality is inherent in the machines throughout their design and production. Seams are continuously welded or sealed to prevent corrosion and machines are shot blasted prior to painting for superior adhesion.
Dan Martin the driver says: “I like the simplicity of the two chain slat design as there is less to go wrong. The sprung drawbar removes any whip when towing, and the spreader is well suited to our JD 6910. We fitted the additional kit of beater paddles, which also work well in standard Farmyard Manure.”
Of course when the unexpected happens, most important is the sound service backup provided by the local Teagle dealer network, supported through Teagle’s support from Cornwall. This is one more reason why more and more farmers who are looking for a machine that will offer lower running costs in the long term are now turning to the Teagle Titan range of muck spreaders.
