Umbilical system
Bomech umbilical systems pump the slurry straight from the storage pit to the trailing shoe in the field, with no tanker on the land. That means less soil compaction, lower fuel consumption and a higher capacity. Universal frames let you switch your Bomech machine between tanker and umbilical work throughout the year.

The Umbilical system in action!
Two types are available: a standard swivel tube with universal mechanical joints, or a 170-degree rotatable swivel tube for maximum flexibility.

Housing and inner bushing are hardened, including the BSP threads, and the joint runs on a ball bearing instead of a plain bearing.
Everything you need to know about umbilical frames
Bomech offers several trailing shoe systems designed for umbilical systems. With the universal umbilical frames you can easily switch your Bomech system from the tanker to the umbilical setup, which is ideal for flexible use throughout the year, even in wet conditions.
The lightweight Bomech Up with swivel tube and quick-change system is ready for umbilical use in working widths from 6 to 10.5 metres with its own specially designed umbilical frame. For larger operations, the Speedy, Farmer and Multi Profi series from 12 to 24 metres can all be mounted on the standard universal umbilical frame.
All Bomech solutions for umbilical systems share one goal: to extend the service life of every trailing shoe system, so slurry application can continue for longer periods even under wet conditions. Further features:
For extra flexibility and demanding conditions, the applicator offers the following:
- Removable universal umbilical frame for the Up, Speedy, Farmer and Multi Profi series.
- Two swivel tube types: standard with universal mechanical joints, or 170-degree rotatable.
- Optional Alrena rotary joint in 3, 4 or 5 inch to prevent twisting.
- A low hose connection point close to the tractor for easy manoeuvring and minimal stress on hoses.
- Excellent ground contour following on all possible trailing shoe systems.
- Several section control options: mechanical, hydraulic or with the Alrena ASC-system.

What are the trade-offs between umbilical and a tanker?
The slurry is pumped straight from the storage pit to the machine, so no tanker drives on the land: less soil compaction, lower fuel consumption and a higher capacity. In return you handle the hose, which takes planning on small or fragmented plots and over longer distances, and you need a pump and enough hose for the job.
Can I switch my existing Bomech system to umbilical?
Yes. With the universal umbilical frames you can move your Bomech system from the tanker to the umbilical setup, which is ideal for flexible use throughout the year, even in wet conditions when the land will not carry a tanker.
Which machines fit on which frame?
The lightweight Up has its own specially designed umbilical frame, in working widths from 6 to 10.5 m. The Speedy, Farmer and Multi Profi series, from 12 to 24 m, all mount on the standard universal umbilical frame.
Which swivel tube should I choose?
Two types are available: the standard swivel tube with universal mechanical joints, or the 170-degree rotatable swivel tube for maximum flexibility in the field. The rotatable version makes reversing and turning on the headland easier.
What does the Alrena rotary joint do?
It prevents the hose from twisting during long working days. Both the housing and the inner bushing are hardened, including the BSP threads, and unlike other rotary joints this system runs on a ball bearing instead of a plain bearing. It is available in 3, 4 or 5 inch.
Why is the hose connection point so low?
A low connection point close to the tractor ensures easy manoeuvring, minimal stress on the hoses and smooth turning on the headland. All Bomech umbilical frames share that concept.
