Uniform plant growth is one of the most important conditions for obtaining high-yield production. To ensure that plants receive balanced nutrition evenly, fertilizer application must be effective. The Accura 8.0 HD, with its new design, built on the chassis of the Stronger HD sprayer, designed for large properties, where maximum precision and economy are paramount, manages to correctly distribute these nutrients.
The cabin offers a high standard of finishing and comfort, being used in the Fighter and Stronger HD sprayers. Access to the cabin is via a hydraulically operated front ladder, which retracts when the machine starts moving. The pressurization system and the double-sealed door guarantee greater protection and acoustic insulation. The comfortable seat has pneumatic cushioning, has several adjustment possibilities and the steering column is adjustable. To the left of the operator there is a passenger seat. Equipment provides great ergonomics. The viewing area increased by the extension of the front glass allows for broad visibility when dispensing.
With a specially sized reservoir that holds eight chloride bags, the Accura 8.0 HD offers exceptional capacity and is ideal for large properties. Thanks to its size, it is possible to save valuable time while charging. The innovative design of the tank, with walls without corners, guarantees the ideal flow of material, even on steeper terrain, also facilitating cleaning procedures. The reservoir and chassis are made of stainless steel, a highly resistant and durable material that will extend the useful life of your equipment. Easy-to-remove sieves make it impossible for hardened fertilizers to pass through, increasing the belt's useful life and maintaining distribution uniformity. The deflectors distribute the weight of the fertilizer, reducing the load on the belt. It has a wide platform to facilitate the operator's access to the main reservoir and a level display, centered on the front of the reservoir, makes it easier for the operator to observe the product.
With hydraulic drive to open the gauge, it can be pre-selected ranging from 2,80 to 3,50 meters, adapting to different crop spacings. With a free span of 1,60 meters, it has great versatility for applications in the most diverse stages of crops.
The VF 380/90 R46 tire and active pneumatic suspension significantly help to improve the equipment's performance on undulating terrain, allowing the tires to better adhere to the ground and avoiding the transfer of shocks to the chassis.
Equipped with an MWM engine, model 6.12 TCE, with a volume of 7.2 liters and 280 hp of power, turbocharger and electronic injection to guarantee high performance and lower fuel consumption, as well as lower maintenance costs. It has the diesel boost system: a power reserve that comes into action immediately in the event of overloads, heavier soil or steeper terrain, making the engine react quickly.
The 4x4 hydrostatic transmission consists of a hydraulic pump and four electronically controlled wheel motors in conjunction with the diesel engine. Each wheel has an inductive sensor, which instantly measures its rotation. If it identifies that the wheel starts to slip, the electronic system comes into action, reducing the oil flow to that wheel and redistributing the others, acting directly on the pump and hydraulic motors, at the same time that the diesel engine automatically regulates the rotation. , positioning itself at the best point on the torque x consumption curve.
The Accura 8.0 HD does not have defined gears, but rather factory-predetermined distribution and transport speeds, which can be managed by the machine owner in cases where they want to determine the maximum speeds at which the operator must work and transport the equipment. There are three speed modes, with the maximum distribution speed being 36km/h and the maximum transport speed being 50km/h.
It provides a uniform distribution, guaranteeing real gains in productivity, as it reduces the impact of driving errors, inadequate adjustments, waste of inputs, poisoning and lodging of plants due to excess fertilizers. The exclusive distribution system provides greater uniformity when compared to the trapezoidal profile on the market.
In the “Free Belt” system, the machine only works when necessary. The conveyor feeds a 125-liter control tank, equipped with two ultrasonic sensors that calculate the maximum and minimum quantity of product inside the tank. When necessary, the software identifies the minimum quantity and starts to rotate the belt, feeding the reservoir and ensuring a constant dose on the distribution discs according to the opening of the dosing gate.
Equipped with the 750-inch Trimble GFX-10.1 virtual terminal, it can transfer files between the vehicle and the office quickly and easily, with built-in Wi-Fi and bluetooth, it is responsible for the navigation system and distribution software integration. The virtual monitor, from Lohr, presents all information related to vehicle automation. It also comes with the NAV-900 GNSS receiver, which allows greater signal stability.
As standard items, the Accura is equipped with hydraulic cruise control and automatic two-section cut-off. As optional items, Kuhn offers RTX and RTK navigation systems, which allow application accuracies of up to 4cm, automatic bedside maneuvering and remote technical support, in which it is possible to connect the terminal with the office and resolve any problem related to the terminal. .
It uses the Coaxial Distribution Adjustment system – CDA. Two features make the CDA system unique: the articulated spreading ruler allows quick adaptation to various fertilizers and working widths by adjusting the fertilizer point for the spreading discs.
Gates designed near the center of the discs allow for multiple supply points for the blades. This helps ensure a steady flow of fertilizer and an even pattern.
The system is made up of the following parts: agitator, gate, conductive brush, discs, transmission box and distribution strip.
The agitator works at low speed (17rpm), with axial movement, avoiding mechanical damage to the grains, preserving their particles, preventing the formation and dissipation of dust during application.
The gate has a progressive opening of the outlet, which causes a variation in the angle of action of the distribution disc vanes. This opening is responsible for uniform distribution in high or low doses.
The conductive brush prevents segregation of material particles during application, ensuring correct deposition on the disc, resulting in better uniformity of the distribution profile.
The discs, with fixed vanes, provide precision in adjustment, maintaining the fertilizer's flying properties. There are four options: S6 – 24m to 36m; S8 – 30m to 36m; S10 – 36m to 40m and S12 – 39m to 42m.
The transmission box is made of stainless steel, the entire assembly works in harmonious synchronization, ensuring perfect distribution of the fertilizer. Maintenance-free oil-bathed gearbox.
A distribution ruler allows calibration to be carried out by lateral adjustment, facilitating access. Safe system, as there is no operator contact directly with the fertilizer or seed.
The SpeedServo electromechanical actuator is used to open the gate and determine the product dose. Works 2,5 times faster than linear actuators, improving reaction time to work with variable rates. The machine comes with a manual containing several fertilizer tables and an exclusive grain particle size identification guide to enable correct distribution adjustment.
The Rauch system is the most renowned fertilizer distribution system due to its high precision. With the most rigorous quality processes, the Accura 8.0 HD distributor comes to change the concept of fertilizer distribution, extracting the maximum productivity potential of your crop.
