Application of granular/pellet fertilizers

Slopehelper’s advanced pneumatic fertilization system ensures maximum efficiency, precise nutrient distribution, and minimal waste. 

Today, the market offers two main fertilizer distribution concepts:

  • Mechanical distribution, where granules/pellets are spread using mechanical impact, leading to uneven coverage.
  • Pneumatic distribution, where granules/pellets are air-driven, ensuring precise and uniform fertilizer application.

Pneumatic systems are considered the most advanced as they provide optimal distribution uniformity in targeted fertilization zones, maximizing efficiency and minimizing waste.

The Slopehelper Fertilizer is an innovative pneumatic fertilizing system, designed as a hinged attachment, consisting of two key modules:

  1. Fertilizer Tank with Control & Pneumatic System – Stores and regulates fertilizer flow, ensuring precise distribution.
  2. Distribution SystemAir-driven outlets deliver fertilizer exactly where needed, improving nutrient absorption and reducing losses.

This fully automated precision fertilization system enhances efficiency, crop health, and sustainability, making it an ideal solution for modern orchard and vineyard management.

Features & Benefits

Fertilizers contain active chemical components that can pose serious health risks to operators, requiring protective gear for manual or tractor-assisted application. In conventional systems, the tractor driver is directly exposed to airborne particles, dust, and potential chemical hazards during distribution.

The Slopehelper Fertilizer is a fully autonomous system, eliminating the need for an operator inside the application zone. By functioning without human intervention, it:

Removes health risks associated with chemical exposure.
Eliminates the need for protective equipment, reducing operational costs.
Ensures a safer working environment, making fertilizer application efficient and risk-free.

This next-generation autonomous fertilization technology prioritizes both operator safety and precision farming, ensuring optimal fertilizer distribution with zero human exposure.

The Slopehelper Fertilizer ensures high-precision, uniform distribution of mineral granules, while also seamlessly handling pellets and seeds. Unlike conventional systems that may cause uneven spread patterns, the advanced pneumatic distribution technology guarantees equal dispersion across the targeted area.

This versatile design allows for efficient fertilization and seeding, maximizing nutrient availability, crop uniformity, and overall plantation productivity. Whether distributing granules, organic pellets, or cover crop seeds, the Slopehelper Fertilizer ensures consistent application with minimal waste, optimizing both yield and resource efficiency.

The Slopehelper Fertilizer is equipped with a large 1.1m³ tank, securely installed on the cargo platform of the Slopehelper Base Platform. Its gravity-stabilized design ensures safe and stable operation, even on slippery or uneven terrain, preventing any risk of imbalance while carrying a heavy payload.

Maximum distribution allows coverage of nearly 3 hectares in a single fill, reducing refill frequency.
Moderate application supports an entire daily shift, maximizing efficiency and minimizing downtime.

This high-capacity tank design significantly improves productivity, reduces operational interruptions, and ensures continuous, precision fertilization for large-scale vineyard and orchard management.

The Slopehelper Fertilizer is equipped with 8 independent pneumatic channels, ensuring precise and efficient fertilizer distribution across plantation passages.

The switchable channel system allows growers to individually control each channel, enabling customized fertilizer application based on specific needs.

This flexibility provides:

Targeted distribution – Ability to fertilize only in passage areas or only in root zones.
Optimized fertilizer usageReduces waste by applying nutrients exactly where needed.
Adaptability to various plantation structures – Adjusts distribution settings depending on crop type, growth stage, or soil conditions.

This advanced pneumatic system ensures efficient, resource-saving, and environmentally friendly fertilization, maximizing crop health and productivity while reducing operational costs.

The Slopehelper Pneumatic Fertilizer utilizes an innovative dosing system that combines precision dosators for granules/pellets with Venturi pipes, ensuring high-efficiency fertilizer distribution.

Unlike conventional pneumatic fertilizers, where distributed components lose momentum at the end of the pipeline, the Slopehelper system accelerates the granules before distribution. This is achieved by:

Dosing components precisely into the Venturi pipe, ensuring controlled and measured application.
✅ Using compressed air to accelerate the granules, carrying them efficiently through the distribution pipes.
Maintaining high-speed flow until the point of application, ensuring uniform and effective fertilizer spread across the target area.

This advanced pneumatic solution provides better fertilizer penetration, more even distribution, and higher operational efficiency, making it superior to conventional pneumatic fertilization systems.

For effective fertilization, it is crucial to maintain a consistent distribution per surface area. In conventional systems, this is challenging because the tractor driver must manually regulate speed, often leading to uneven fertilizer application.

The Slopehelper Fertilizer eliminates this issue with automated synchronization between dosing and the Base Platform’s speed. This ensures:

Consistent fertilizer distribution, regardless of speed variations.
Precision application, preventing under- or over-fertilization.
Fully automated operation, removing human error and ensuring maximum efficiency.

This advanced speed-based dosing system guarantees uniform nutrient application, optimizing crop health, reducing waste, and improving overall plantation productivity.

The Slopehelper Fertilizer features a three-segment distribution system, consisting of:

  1. A central segment for core fertilizer application.
  2.  Two foldable side segments, adjustable via actuators for precision placement.

This flexible design allows growers to adjust distribution zones, ensuring that fertilizer is applied as close to the root areas as possible.

The foldable side carriers provide:

Adaptability to different row widths and plantation layouts.
Precision placement, improving nutrient absorption and reducing waste.
Compact folding for transport and maneuverability, preventing damage in narrow vineyard rows.

This innovative distribution system enhances efficiency, flexibility, and precision, making the Slopehelper Fertilizer an optimal solution for modern orchard and vineyard management.

The Slopehelper Fertilizer is designed with suspended foldable side distributors, ensuring safe and precise fertilizer application near tree trunks. While these side carriers operate close to the trunks, their special suspension system allows them to gently slide over obstacles upon contact, preventing damage to both the trees and the equipment.

This intelligent suspension mechanism provides:

Automatic obstacle bypassing, reducing impact force on trunks.
Damage prevention for both the distributors and plantation infrastructure.
Seamless adaptation to terrain variations, ensuring uninterrupted fertilizer application.

With this advanced safety feature, the Slopehelper Fertilizer guarantees smooth and risk-free operation, even in dense orchards and vineyards with irregular row spacing.
