- Pichon has announced the expansion of its SV slurry tanker range with the introduction of three new models: SV6, SV8R, and SV10
The SV slurry tanker range is designed to meet the diverse needs of agricultural professionals, offering robustness, efficiency, and environmental sustainability. With this expansion of the SV family, the total number of SV slurry tanker range comes to a total of 10. Pichon now offers a comprehensive range with capacities ranging from 6,600 to 21,100 liters. Initially launched in France as pre-series models in May 2023, these new models are now officially available for export in all regions.
All models in the SV range stand out for their versatility and evolutionary design, available in both single and double axle versions. These slurry tankers, pre-equipped as standard, allow easy adaptation of the tanker’s features to the evolving needs of agricultural operations. The result of several years of research and development at Pichon, these models are the outcome of a collaborative effort between engineers, designers, technicians, and sales teams, aiming to offer the best to customers in the field. Equipped with a fully galvanized structure, these tankers ensure exceptional durability and minimal maintenance. The integrated Vacuum technology, which creates a difference in atmospheric pressure between the inside of the tank and the ambient air, ensures efficient filling and emptying, thereby reducing maintenance costs. As an option, the turbo feeder, driven by a hydraulic motor, it relieves the vacuum pump when unloading mode is activated. This dual vacuum pump/feeder operation guarantees optimum performance with thick slurry from cattle, raw digestate, etc. The SV models meet the challenges of modern agriculture, notably by allowing the addition of various application options.
Each model is equipped with innovative systems to optimize the application of organic fertilizers and ensure a homogeneous distribution of effluents. The pre-configuration of the SV models is compatible with our spreading equipment: drip hose booms, trailing shoe booms, injectors, and incorporators. These low-emission techniques maximize nutrient uptake by plants and increase yields by reducing ammonia emissions and promoting better nutrient infiltration into the soil. This technology not only improves air quality but also maximizes crop potential by enhancing soil fertility. The ease of use of this equipment ensures safe and efficient operation, essential for modern agricultural operations. SV slurry tankers are equipped with the iControl control system. It is available in a manual joystick or joystick and touchscreen version.
The small capacity models, such as the SV6 and SV8R, are particularly suited to small and medium-sized farms. With respective capacities of 6,600 and 8,500 liters, these slurry tankers are distinguished by their compact size, making them perfect for tight environments. Their integrated chassis lowers the center of gravity, offering optimal stability even on slopes. Christophe Marzin, Product Manager, adds: “The compact and streamlined design of the single-axle models provides exceptional maneuverability, making these tankers a valuable allied for operations in hilly or mountainous terrain. Their robustness and ease of maintenance make them durable and reliable tools for all working conditions. “
