The sembradora Aerosem receives the maximum recognition in Agritechnica

The year 2013 finishes with very good news for Pöttinger, mark represented by Durán Agricultural Machinery in our country. The data facilitated by one of his responsible maxima, Heinz Pöttinger, like this it evidencian: 303 million euros of record turnover in the last exercise, figures that triplican the ones of 2001. In Agritechnica, the multinational presented the new generation of sowing machines pneumatics Aerosem 1002, rewarded like Machine of the Year in the category of Laboreo and Seeds.

Aerosem 1002, the sembradora pneumatics that dazzled in Hannover

The members of the jury of Agritechnica awarded the prize of Machine of the Year in the category of ‘Laboreo and Seed' to the sembradora Aerosem 1002 of Pöttinger. The codiciado recognition adds to the medals of silver that received the systems PCS (system of seeds combined of precision) and IDS (system of intelligent distribution), both developed for this new generation of sowing machines pneumatics.

The series Aerosem 1002 is available in widths of work of 3 and 4 metres and the attachment of the sembradora does on the roller of the preparador chosen, facilitating the freedom of movement of the same upwards. The train of seeds is available with boot, disk or double disks DualDisc and adapts to all the possibilities of use. The hopper has capacity for 1.250 litres and has of a big aperture for the load. Besides, thanks to the agitador situated above the dosificador, guarantees a uniform flow of the seed.

The system of dosage allows a quantity of seed of 1,5 to 340 kg to a speed of driving until 12 km/h. According to the quantity, the rollers of dosage of normal or fine seed can change easy and quickly without need of tools, guaranteeing a handle simple and direct. The dosage can be mechanical or electrical, according to the election.

The Medals of Silver received them Pöttinger by the system of intelligent distribution IDS. The dosage of seed is electrical and controls by means of the control Power Control or the Isobus of the tractor. With this system control all the tubes of seeds by means of BUS. This allows to select the tubes of seeds according to the need, for example, partial cutting (50/50), talonaje, random tubes. The quantity of seed reduces automatically according to the number of tubes of seeds closed. The IDS is an only system in the world that guarantees a quantity of constant seed in each tube of seed and that at the same time saves seed, since the excess seed goes back to the main tube.

The another medal was by the system of seeds of precision combined PCS. With the development of this system, Pöttinger has achieved an only attainment: the integration of the technician of seeds monograno in a sembradora pneumatics standard. The advantages of both technicians join in the new Aerosem, with which can seed corn and sunflower. The machine has until 10 elements of seeds monograno for distances between rows of 37,5 and 75 cm of distance. Also it can apply fertilizante through the same system of dosage at the side of the line of seeds like direct fertilisation through the head distributor. Besides, it exists the option of seed simultaneous of grass (coverage) and corn to protect the floor against the erosion.

But the Aerosem 1002 was not the only novelty of Pöttinger in Hannover, also could see for the first time the new combination of mowers suspended Novacat S12. With a necessary power of only 160 CV for a width of full work of 11,20 m, a comparative of use of a selection of mowers available in the market shows that the Novacat S12 needs 25% less than consumption of average offering 25% more than strength at the same time. The Novacat S12 owe his reduced necessary power to his minimum weight of performance of only 175 kg by each metre of width of work. Of this way, the aprovechamiento of the performance of surface is of more than 12 hectares by hour.

Also could see in the stand of Pöttinger the new trailer Europrofi combiline, more efficient, with multipurpose aptitude and instrumented with a short cut of 39 mm. With a power required from among 130 and 220 CV, the trailer combined has an easy drag like the previous model. It keeps the approved pick up pendular of 6 rows with eccentric control to guarantee a better adaptation to the floor and to favour a forraje without pollution. The sheet deflectora, as well as an additional roller of the wheel palpadora, have been developed again. This roller is planted behind the pick up and allows a greater guide of the outline of the terrain.

Pöttinger Reaches a record turnover

Heinz Pöttinger, general director of the multinational, went the attendant in the international presses conference to explain which is the situation of the company to day of today. In the past exercise reached a record turnover of 303 million euros, triplicando the figures of 2001, with an increase in all the sectors, except in trailers. The siega being the king with 135 million euros invoiceed, seven more than in 2012, although other sectors like the manufacturing of the floor also has registered a significant increase (+20%). Pöttinger Fulfils this year the half century in the business of the trailers, having more than 60 models, between them his two big banners, the model Jumbo, launched in 1999, and the Autocut, of the 2009.

In the last years the Austrian multinational has gone increasing his international presence, opening in 2012 delegraciones in United Kingdom, Belgium and Ireland. According to Heinz Pöttinger, “the company has based , bases and will base in the personal attention, the confidence, the vicinity and in our curiosity. And this curiosity shows in the 26 million euros that will invest the next year to keep growing, be more productive and abler”.
