GENTING LANE, Singapore - Jan. 21, 2025 - PRLog -- Schleppfix - the new way of spreading manure
In 2018, Thomas Hollenstein and Lukas Bosshart envisioned a user-friendly, low-wear manure-spreading system, compliant with new low-emission regulations effective in Switzerland from 2024 and Europe from 2030. Their product, Schleppfix, launched after three years of development, stands out by not requiring a distribution head or drain hoses. It offers high spreading capacity with a vacuum compressor and is available in six working widths. Hollenstein founded Swisstec AG specifically for this innovative spreader.

iglidur G and igutex plain bearings from igus - maintenance-free, dirt-resistant and corrosion-resistant
Thomas Hollenstein chose igus for their excellent reputation in plain bearings, ordering 100 iglidur G bushings for testing. The Schleppfix uses 28 bushings across its rods. For the side arms, which endure significant forces, they opted for igutex TX1 fibre composite, ideal for high loads and wear resistance.

igutex - the material for highest loads
igus developed igutex fibre composite plain bearings for extreme mechanical loads, offering flexibility in production. There are four types: TX1 (robust all-rounder), TX2 (for hard shafts), TX3 (high load and wear resistance), and TXH (machinable). The Schleppfix uses TX1 for its cost-effectiveness and suitability.

Customized special solution
Schleppfix uses 120mm long igutex TX1 bearings and thrust washers for optimal load capacity and axial starting. Despite being lubrication-free, they grease the bearings due to agricultural norms. Hollenstein praises igus for their technical advice, product availability, and cooperation.
