Listowel, Co Kerry, slurry equipment manufacturer KME Agri will attend this years FTMTA farm machinery show in Punchestown, with a range of new products.

Three new products will be showcased, including the firm’s innovative all-in-one umbilical Compressor Pump Station Convey Unit, first seen at the Enterprise Ireland Innovation Arena at the National Ploughing Championships back in September.

As seen in the Innovation arena at the Ploughing Championships, KME will showcase its Compressor Pump Station Convey Unit.

For those not familiar with it, the umbilical Compressor Pump Station Convey is a three point linkage mounted setup containing a slurry pump, air compressor and a 200mm lazy arm high volume suction system. All functions can be controlled from the comfort of the operator’s seat.

The major benefit of the system is its modular approach, allowing customers, for example, to fit it with an existing mobile compressor. Meanwhile, the tractor’s front linkage can be freed up for other uses. Similarly, either the compressor or pump can be removed for individual use.

Making its first public appearance, KME will also exhibit a slimmed down version of the unit, containing a Bauer SX1000 umbilical pump and lazy arm suction system. A new 10.5m Proglide+ double folding trailing shoe system will also be unveiled.

Features include a double macerator configuration, allowing half-width shut off, primarily designed for customers working on 21m tramlines.

The unit is equipped with a hydraulic stone trap and contour-following technology, allowing for an even pressure application across all shoes. Other products set to be displayed include a 12m dribble bar.

A new 10.5m Proglide+ trailing shoe model will make its debut at the show.

The FTMTA show takes place on 12th, 13th & 14th of November 2024 date in Punchestown from 10am to 6pm daily, with the show opened to 8pm on Wednesday.
