New hydroseeder provides increased power and speed

New hydroseeder provides increased power and speed
The Titan Hydroseeder is available in three tank sizes. It is designed to deliver more power and speed, making it ideal for extremely large coverage areas, steep slopes, and hard-to-reach areas. Featuring a 170-horsepower, turbo diesel, Tier 3-compliant Cummins QSB engine, the Titan provides 48-percent more horsepower than standard hydroseeder packages. The engine includes a control panel with a digital information display, as well as an ECU with self-diagnostics to monitor low oil pressure and initiate high temperature shutoff.

The increased horsepower allows the Titan to achieve greater spraying distances of up to 320 feet from the discharge tower, compared to 230 feet on standard models. The engine also enables a dual discharge boom system to run efficiently and simultaneously. An optional second boom allows spraying from both sides of the tank to cover larger spray areas and provides optimal positioning flexibility for logistically challenging sites.

Tank sizes for the Titan Hydroseeders range from working capacities of 2,500 to 3,600 gallons. Material capacities for the Titan 280, Titan 330 and Titan 400 are 8,000/1,250 pounds (granular solids/fibre mulch) 10,000/1,500 pounds, and 12,400/1,800 pounds, respectively.

Thanks to the addition of a third mechanical paddle agitator, the Titan can handle tougher material mixtures and heavier products, such as bonded fibre mixtures, while also allowing for various loading techniques. Additionally, the combination of a hydraulic motor and gearbox drive for the lower agitators produces higher torque to more thoroughly and efficiently mix materials. This also results in less wasted product and faster cleanup.

Some other key features include: a 28.5- by 48-inch hatch opening with a dual pivoting stainless steel bag cutter and safety bar; a larger slide gate and open-space design; an optional remote control that allows operators to maintain control of functions at up to 200 feet from the machine; and a protective tank top coating that helps ensure longer service life for the tank. The Titan is a solution for erosion control contractors with larger hydroseeding projects, as well for highway, dust control, landfill, golf course and various commercial applications.
