Flexrow for multi-purpose seed drills and planters

A new kind of flexible and highly efficiently technology for multi-purpose seed drills and planters

A key to secure productive and sustainable farming, is the placing of seeds at optimal distance from each other. However most, present seeders have fixed row distance and thus have low adaptability for different crops or soil conditions.

We now can proudly present a new kind of agricultural machine, called Flexrow. It paves the way for pure agronomy when it comes to row spacing.

Flexrow for solar trackers

In recent years, the use of solar trackers has increased significantly in several PV markets. This is especially the case with large panels in utilities. Using solar trackers, electricity production can increase by 30-40%. However, today’s actuators are a major cost driver in solar trackers and heliostats. An interesting and cost-effective alternative for large solar trackers and heliostats is a new hydraulic linear actuator technology, called Flexrow.

Flexrow for timber logistics

Forestry needs to develop transport vehicles with lower energy consumption. Among other things this can be done by improving the vehicles’ aerodynamics. The air resistance of unloaded timber trucks and timber trains can be significantly reduced if stakes and banks are put together.

Flexrow technology means that heavy and dangerous manual steps when changing banks and stakes on timber vehicles can eliminated. The adjustment can be performed from the cab via keystrokes.

How it works

In short, the actuator is based on two connected short hydraulic cylinders, which are open at both ends, as if every other “climbs” on a fixed clamped piston rod by means of hydraulic clamping connections. In this way, the cylinder can be made to travel along the rod, as when two hands haul in a rope with a load.
