Engineering and Settings Monsoon, under the mark Tatoma, presented in FIMA 2012 with a 'Technical Novelty' under the arm, specifically by the solution adopted to resolve the leading suspension of the machine of his own design and manufacture MBS-30, mezclador self-propelled, of 30 cubic metres of capacity, whose object is the collected, hammered, mix and distribution of alimentary products for bovine animals estabulados.

Already in himself same a self-propelled machine of this capacity, 30 cubic metres, is a novelty, since only in the last years and developed by very few manufacturers, exist this type of machines in the market. Thanks to them racionalizan the necessary resources for the feeding of the bovine livestock, obtaining as resulted a very good homogenización of the product that serves of food to the livestock and a saving of costs so much in time as in fuel for the employer grazier. These machines are especially conceived to be used in parks or farms of big size thanks to his capacity to deliver in the order of 200 rations in an alone process of mix and distribution.

The machine goes sustentada on three axles, one leading with hydraulics suspension and two backsides with suspension tandem of crossbows. Besides it incorporates steering in the first and third axis of such form that is endowed of an excellent manoeuvrability, reaching radii of twist only possible in machines of lower capacity with two axles.

The technical solution presented like novelty for the leading suspension bases in sustentar the leading axis on four suspenders tensors with extremes to rótula, that do that the movement of the axis was only of traslación and in suspending it of two hydraulics cylinders connected between yes by crossing of cameras and connected both two to both accumulators of bladder with nitrogen, achieving on the one hand a system dock –amortiguador for each wheel– and on the other hand, the effect of a bar estabilizadora that avoids the swing side of the elements suspended in the leading part. Thanks to this type of suspension achieves a crossing between the leading bridge and the backsides in the order of 300 mm. That allows the adaptation of the machine to rugged terrains.

The directors of Tatoma posed beside the president of Aragon, Luisa Fernanda Rudi, after receiving the prize Technical Novelty.

Interview to Fernando Torres, manager of Tatoma

-The Group Tatoma has seen recompensada his work in FIMA with a Prize ‘Technical Novelty' by the hydraulics suspension forward of his mezclador of piensos self-propelled MBS-30. What has meant for you this recognition?

Is the fourth time that reward us in the contest of Technical Novelties in FIMA, but has been the time that more repercussion has had in all the fields. For our company is a stimulus that allows us improve each day our development and a recognition to the effort that realises all the human team. In FIMA 1996 receive the prize by ours tow horizontal of a sinfín; in the 2000 by a machine to hammer straw with hammers; in 2002 by a pneumatics suspension in self-propelled, and finally this year by the hydraulics suspension in self-propelled.

- A hydraulics suspension with recognition, but, what means exactly for the agriculturalist and the grazier this novelty?

For our customers can suppose a substantial improvement in his future machines, a technical solution more reliable, more economic and in general an optimisation of the resources.

- In the market of the agricultural machinery, and more for manufacturers of inferior size, the innovation is the only form to result competitive?

The size of the companies is in function of the dimension of each market, by whose reason each company has to look for his niche of market, procuring give answer to the same, without losing his capacity of innovation and without leaving to be competitive. It is fundamental the differentiate of his competitors, to be able to grow in quota and in profitability.

- In what new projects and machines works the Group Tatoma?

Ours company has been rewarded in a machine of 30 m3 self-propelled, thinking in the livestocks of more than 1.500 cows, what allows us give answer to markets in the very important outside and with a product that do not manufacture the majority of our competitors. We are improving the range of self-propelled vertical of two sinfines for half range between 20 to 26 m3 and the ones of a sinfín smaller of 12 and 14 m3. Neither we forget us of other sectors, as the one of the renewable energies.

- Which balance do of his assistance to a FIMA 2012 that has described already of ‘record edition'?

The answer has been very important in number of visitors and of customers interested in our machines, but the most significant like summary, is that the visitors have not agreed of the crisis, which is very gratificante in this moment. The general balance has been very positive.
