RAUCH precision fertiliser spreaders and components
Procurement of twin-disc mounted, pneumatic boom and municipal winter spreaders, discs, gearboxes and electronics by RAUCH.
Mounted twin-disc fertiliser spreaders RAUCH AXIS M
Mounted spreaders of the AXIS M series feature mechanical PTO drive technology combined with a patented hopper layout and the coaxial CDA distribution adjustment. The assemblies ensure gentle granule handling and uniform nutrient application density over wide working widths.
- Durable M-Drive gearbox operating in oil bath protected from corrosive dust
- Coaxial CDA flow adjustment setting drop point for accurate spreading width
- Integrated W series weighing cells providing continuous material flow control
- Stainless steel hopper sieves preventing clump blockages during application
Hydraulic fertiliser spreaders RAUCH AXIS H
AXIS H spreaders utilize the maintenance-free H-Drive hydraulic drive system maintaining stable disc speed independent of tractor engine RPM. Electronic Massflow Control (EMC) monitors torque on each spreading disc to provide individual nutrient metering on both field sides.
- Hydraulic H-Drive system offering independent left and right spreading disc speeds
- Electronic Massflow Control monitoring drive torque for precise flow metering
- High-speed SpeedServo electric actuators for rapid metering shutter positioning
- Automatic cross-slope compensation maintaining stable application uniformity
Compact mounted fertiliser spreaders RAUCH MDS
The MDS series is engineered for small and medium farms, orchards and vineyards. Its single hopper design with steep sidewalls ensures continuous gravity flow to spreading discs, while the slow-rotating agitator eliminates crushing of fragile mineral fertilizer granules.
- Gentle slow-motion agitator rotating at 180 RPM preventing granule damage
- Interchangeable M1 and M2 discs for standard broadcasting and narrow orchard rows
- Compact hitch frame matching utility tractors from 40 horsepower in tight fields
- Quick-release metering slide gate assemblies with clear calibration vernier scales
Pneumatic boom spreaders RAUCH AERO
AERO 32.1 pneumatic boom spreaders deliver pinpoint distribution of granular fertilizers and cover crop seeds via high-velocity air streams. The system maintains designed application accuracy across all sections even during strong crosswinds across open agricultural fields.
- Rigid pneumatic folding boom assembly providing working widths up to 32 meters
- High-output pneumatic blower driven smoothly by tractor auxiliary hydraulics
- Individual roller metering units paired with targeted MultiRate drop nozzles
- Uniform distribution of lightweight microgranules and seeds in turbulent winds
Trailed wide-area spreaders RAUCH AXENT
Trailed spreaders of the AXENT series with hopper capacities up to 9400 liters are built for heavy-duty farming on large fields. The modular architecture permits fast switching between mineral granules via the AXIS-PowerPack unit and earth-moist agricultural lime distribution.
- Heavy-duty conveyor belt with hydraulic drive feeding dense lime materials
- Detachable AXIS-PowerPack spreading module handling granular fertilizer types
- Reinforced suspended chassis axle with self-steering hubs for agile handling
- Dedicated on-board hydraulic system powering mechanical spreading components
Municipal winter service spreaders RAUCH AXEO
Municipal spreaders AXEO are engineered for year-round road maintenance across urban streets, highways and walkways. Corrosion-resistant stainless components and coaxial metering technology deliver uniform application of de-icing salts, abrasive grit, gravel and coarse sand.
- Stainless steel hopper structure and disc vanes resisting aggressive salts
- Adjustable application spread width from 1 to 8 meters modified on the move
- Specialized heavy agitator preventing compaction of moist road sand mixtures
- Eco-Spreading electronic console providing spread asymmetry control in cabin
Inspection and balancing protocols for RAUCH AXIS spreading discs
Accurate fertilizer application by RAUCH AXIS spreaders depends directly on the pristine geometry of spreading discs and throwing vanes. During demanding field operation, abrasive potash and nitrogen granules induce natural wear along vane edges.
Maintenance procedures recommend visual vane inspections every 50 operating hours to verify tungsten carbide coating integrity without deep groove formation. Loose mounting bolts or distorted vane profiles generate harmful mechanical vibration and disrupt transverse distribution uniformity.
When renewing vanes, replacement sets must be installed in pairs with drive slot verification and specified tightening torque applied via calibrated wrenches.
Calibration of metering shutter gates and SpeedServo electric actuators
Precise distribution of plant nutrients requires pinpoint positioning of RAUCH hopper slide gates. Fast-acting SpeedServo electric motors adjust aperture openings within split seconds following application prescription maps.
Prior to the spreading season, zero-point alignment is verified using manufacturer calibration gauges. Mechanical slide tracks must be cleaned of encrusted fertilizer residue to ensure smooth actuator rod travel without binding.
If actual distribution volume deviates from prescribed rates, terminal wiring harnesses and digital bus connectors are inspected, followed by an automated endpoint limit calibration routine executed via the operator console.
Maintenance guidelines for M-Drive mechanical transmissions and gearboxes
The M-Drive transmission on mounted RAUCH spreaders delivers robust mechanical power transfer from the tractor power take-off. Central and lateral bevel gearboxes operate immersed in sealed fluid reservoirs, preventing internal gear contact with corrosive chemical fertilizer dust.
Routine maintenance involves checking gear lubricant levels every 100 working hours and renewing oil reservoirs at the conclusion of the spreading season.
Drive shafts require periodic inspection for play within universal joints and splined couplings, while protective PTO guards are examined for structural cracks. Timely renewal of worn radial oil seals prevents fluid leakage and keeps drive bearings cool.
Diagnostic procedures for H-Drive hydraulic circuits and EMC torque sensors
The hydraulic architecture on RAUCH AXIS H spreaders maintains independent disc rotation unaffected by fluctuations in tractor engine velocity.
The Electronic Massflow Control (EMC) setup continuously registers fluid pressure and drive torque on each hydraulic motor to calculate precise mass delivery rates. Service checks verify quick-coupling tightness and hydraulic high-pressure hose integrity.
The return line filtration element is inspected for metallic particles, while pressure transducers undergo zero-load calibration without granular flow. Maintaining specified hydraulic oil viscosity safeguards constant disc rotational velocity through headland turns and hillside fields.
Pre-season inspection of pneumatic airflow ducts on AERO boom spreaders
Pneumatic boom spreaders belonging to the RAUCH AERO line demand thorough verification of air conduits and roller metering units before field deployment.
The high-output centrifugal blower generates pressurized airflow conveying fertilizer granules through flexible hoses toward terminal boom deflectors. Operators must verify drive belt tension and clean the protective air intake screen before startup.
Distribution hoses require end-to-end inspection along boom sections to detect kinks, friction wear or moisture accumulation. Metering rollers are brushed clean of fertilizer dust, and slide seals are evaluated for resilience to avoid material spillage during application.
Corrosion prevention and washdown routines for AXEO municipal machines
Winter operation of RAUCH AXEO municipal spreaders involves relentless exposure to aggressive de-icing chlorides, road salts and moist abrasive sand. Although key components are fabricated from stainless steel, thorough low-pressure warm water washdown is mandatory following every work shift.
Critical attention must be focused on hopper agitator clearances, Eco-Spreading asymmetry linkages and shutter pivot pins. Once thoroughly dried, moving threaded spindles and exposed splines must be treated with moisture-displacing protective lubricants.
Prior to off-season storage, cleaned metal surfaces receive an even layer of specialized anti-corrosion preserving fluid.
