<p>Betec, the Slovenian manufacturer of low-emission slurry applicators showcased its latest innovation which it has named the Hyber Disc. </p><p>Currently patent-pending, the unit is a lightweight trailing shoe with built-in 28cm discs to cut the surface and allow slurry to be injected. </p><p>Traditionally, slurry injectors have been heavy, complex machines and unsuitable for many farms based on a number of factors, including the two just mentioned. The Hyber Disc is a clever lightweight design which incorporates a disc into an existing trailing shoe design. </p><div att="1" class="mx-auto w-auto w-fit text-center gadvertisementheader px-2 pb-2 mb-2"><span class=" my-font-roboto-regular text-[0.625rem] my-text-color-gray-1 text-center">ADVERTISEMENT</span><!-- /144848334/new2025-articlepage-deskmob-slot2-300x250 -->

According to the firm, each outlet can have 30kg of downwards force applied to allow the individual discs to penetrate the surface. </p><p>While working widths are said to span from 4m to 24m, a 6m model was displayed. Spacing between the outlets is 25cm, each of which is supplied with slurry distributed via the company’s own macerator system. </p><p>According to Betec, the disc system can be retrofitted to existing trailing shoe systems. Weighing in at 800kg, the 6m unit is said to cost €13,000 plus VAT. </p><p><img src="https://www.farmersjournal.ie/WEBFILES/000/852/867/2317756-852867.jpg" style="max-width:100%;"/><caption><div class="article-image-caption inline-block">Each leaf spring is fitted with a 28cm disc and followed by a a rubber boot which deposits slurry. </div></caption></p><p></p><p></p><div att="2" class="mx-auto w-auto w-fit text-center gadvertisementheader px-2 pb-2 mb-2"><span class=" my-font-roboto-regular text-[0.625rem] my-text-color-gray-1 text-center">ADVERTISEMENT</span><!-- /144848334/new2025-articlepage-deskmob-slot3-300x250 -->
