Yanmar solutions for motor pumps, high efficiency irrigation

Yanmar provides four propulsion units in the agromechanical segment that focus on irrigation applications and the general movement of water resources. This segment has become increasingly critical in recent years due to the challenges posed by climate change, particularly regarding the more frequent and impactful water crises affecting larger areas. In this context, pump engines represent an indispensable solution, necessary for both routine agricultural activities and emergency situations that require engines designed to operate pumping mechanisms, ensuring complete and continuous operational capacity in all environmental conditions, while minimizing maintenance intervals…

With Cummins’ “Next Gen X15” engine a change of pace

Cummins has produced 115,000 engines in the last five years, with a portion installed in over 14,000 pieces of construction equipment. These units cover a power range from 74 to over 700 horsepower, with displacements ranging from three liters and 800 cubic centimeters to 15 liters. These performance characteristics meet the needs of manufacturers of self-propelled agricultural machinery, as they are paired with compact design mechanics, high efficiency, and considerable ease of installation. These features have been particularly pursued in the development of the power and torque curves of the…

Agco Power investments, zero emissions objective

Last April the Agco group announced the launch of a 70 million euro investment plan aimed at expanding the production possibilities of the Linnavuori plant in Finland, while also increasing its research capabilities in the energy sector sustainable. With regards to the latter, the plan essentially looks at non-fossil fuels and electric motors. Production capacities will instead be increased through the creation of a new warehouse for the processing of cylinder heads and continuously variable transmission components, a new painting department and facilities for testing remanufactured engines. Also training areas…

Yanmar range for motor pumps, also active 24 hours a day

Power output ranging from approximately 25 to 70 horsepower. This is the range covered by Yanmar engines designed to power high and medium-flow pump systems for irrigation or construction, systems that, in most cases, are required to operate for long periods under variable loads and speeds, as well as in full autonomy, without constant or direct supervision by an operator. Dedicated Product Line A demanding operational profile, for which Yanmar has developed a specific product line based on four different three- and four-cylinder units, all Stage V compliant and offered…

Reduced engine maintenance with Texaco oil

“Tact Von Eller-Ebersteinsche Bga Gbr” is the name of a mixed-type farm operating in northern Germany. In 2011, alongside traditional agricultural production, it started producing electricity from a cogeneration plant powered by a 250-kilowatt Man engine fueled with biogas. The electricity was entirely fed into the grid, while the heat from the engine’s cooling system was used to heat barns and residential buildings. In 2020, due to the positive results from energy production, the plant was expanded with the addition of a second Man engine, this time with a power…
