SlurryQuip Reelers, available in 600m - 1200m.
Hose‑Reeler Range Overview:
-Standard / Base‑model reeler: 600 m
-Mid‑capacity reeler: 800m
-High‑capacity reeler: 1200m
-Additionally, they offer a “steering reeler” variant — ie. a reeler with a steering system for ease of manoeuvre around gates / tight angles / narrow routes.
-All reelers feature “drop‑out bobbins,” meaning the bobbin (hose spool) can be quickly detached and replaced — allowing operators to carry multiple bobbins, or swap hose segments without complicated disconnection.
Key Features & Design of Slurryquip Reelers:
-Heavy‑duty roller bearings for smooth bobbin rotation.
-High-torque hydraulic drive motors — ensures reliable hose reeling/unreeling even under heavy load.
-Fully galvanised construction — corrosion and slurry‑resistant for durability in harsh environments.
-Interchangeable bobbins: 600 m, 800 m, 1,200 m bobbins are compatible with any reeler in the range — giving flexibility.
-Suitable for front- or rear-mounting on tractor (depending on configuration) — gives flexibility in how the hose system integrates with the tractor and application method.
-Integrated work/marker lights and protective “whip‑bar” (for tractor bonnet / operator safety) — improves safety & usability especially in low‑light conditions.
What the Range Means in Practice — Who Each Reeler Capacity Suits:
-600 m reeler: Good for small-to-medium farms, short-distance spreading, relatively small fields or where storage (lagoon/tank) is close to field. Good for moderate slurry volumes, easier to handle.
-800 m reeler: A good all-rounder — medium‑sized farms or average‑distance storage to field layouts. Offers a balance between hose capacity, manageability and cost.
-1,200 m reeler: For large farms, contractor‑type work, or operations where fields are far from storage, requiring long hose runs. Useful when covering large areas, multiple fields, or high-volume slurry loads without frequent reloading.
-Steering reeler option: Particularly useful when field access is tight (gates, narrow tracks), or when you want to minimise tractor turning/compaction. Good flexibility for different farm layouts and easier reeling/unreeling operations.
The “drop‑out bobbin” design further increases flexibility: you can carry multiple bobbins, stage hose lengths, or leave hose in the field and fetch a new bobbin — which is especially handy if you have varying field distances or need to switch hoses quickly.
How Slurryquip Reelers Fit into Umbilical Systems:
Slurryquip’s reelers are designed to integrate seamlessly with their umbilical slurry‑spreading systems — which include pumps, lay‑flat hose, and applicators. Key benefits of combining their reeler range with their umbilical systems:
-Interchangeable-bobbin system allows reeling from the front of the tractor while using the rear for storage or deployment — this improves operational flexibility, even on smaller tractors.
-High hose capacities (up to 1,200 m) make long-distance lagoon-to-field pumping feasible without tanker transport, which can save time, reduce soil compaction, and lower road wear.
-Durable, galvanised construction and heavy-duty hydraulic drive ensure reliability under heavy slurry/ digestate loads.
-The reeler + hose + pump + applicator chain (drag hose + dribble bar or trailing shoe) forms a complete system — enabling efficient, high-output slurry spreading, especially for larger farms and contractors.
