Jacto presents solutions at Show Rural Coopavel

The Jacto portfolio of automotive sprayers and harvesters is already in compliance with the phase of the Air Pollution Control Program by Motor Vehicles (PROCONVE) MAR-1, which establishes limits on emissions of polluting gases for agricultural and road machinery, in accordance with CONAMA Resolution 433/2011.

The standard establishes that, from January 1, 2017, all diesel engines intended for new agricultural machinery, national or imported, with power equal to or greater than 75 kW (101 hp) up to 560 kW (761 hp), must be in compliance with the emission limits of polluting gases. It is similar legislation to North American Tier 3 or European Stage IIIA.

The new MAR-1 legislation defines emission limits for the pollutants carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). Compared to non-certified or non-regulated engines, the reduction in particulate matter pollution in the MAR-1 phase can reach 85% and NOx up to 75%. To be met, the new MAR-1 phase emission limits require, in addition to engine modifications, the use of diesel with a reduced sulfur content.

“The engines developed to comply with the MAR-1 regulation, depending on the power, can be electronically governed or not. In this way, Jacto, in partnership with suppliers, analyzed the best engine to be used for each machine model, aiming for a set of solutions that could allow the reduction of pollutants and optimize performance. Jacto's preparation for electronic engines began in 2012, with the launch of the UNIPORT 3030 self-propelled sprayer. We went through a period of learning, but it was very important for us to arrive today and be able to say that we are ready for this change”, explains Paulo Henrique Guirao, Product Manager for the Jacto Automotive Sprayers and Fertilizers line.

In the case of the Jacto, the integration of the electronic diesel engine with the transmission enabled better performance, with fewer pollutant emissions. This feature is available on the Uniport 2530, 3030 and 4530 sprayer models. This fact, combined with issues such as weight and adequate power, torque and specific consumption curves, made it possible to reduce fuel consumption by up to 35%, when compared to main machines on the market.

“In addition to the benefits of reducing pollutants and fuel consumption, the new engines open up opportunities for increasingly intelligent and connected machines, monitoring of operations and online fault diagnosis, reduced noise, easier operation, improvements in performance, greater reliability and durability”, adds Guirao

The Uniport 4530 model, suitable for the PROCONVE MAR-1 phase, has a diesel engine with 243 hp, a 4500 liter tank and 36 meter spray bars. It is the first machine of this size in Brazil. It presents excellent operational performance, spraying up to 80 hectares per hour, with an increase in operational performance by up to 30% and a reduction in crushing by up to 17%, when compared to machines with a 3.000 liter reservoir and 32 meter bars.

Another model is the Uniport 2530, also suitable for the PROCONVE MAR-1 phase. It was formatted to work in the most diverse terrain conditions, spraying on slopes of up to 30%. It is a light machine, with a power of 198 hp and low fuel consumption. It has a 2500 liter reservoir and 30 meter bar. The fixed free span is 1,60 meters and the chassis has high flexibility and resistance for the most diverse terrain conditions.

Precision agriculture - Uniport self-propelled sprayers feature embedded technologies from the Otmis line, such as Automatic Section Controller, Automatic Nozzle-to-Nozzle Controller, Hydraulic Autopilot and RTX Signal Correction. It can also be equipped with RTK Signal Correction, Humidity and Temperature Sensor and Otmis Maps Telemetry.

Another new addition to the Otmis line is the Otmisnet Mobile service. It is an application that can be used by Jacto customers to monitor the work of Uniport 2530, 3030 and 4530 self-propelled sprayers in real time, providing information, alerts and indicators that can contribute to improving operational management.

“Among the main benefits of using the Otmisnet System, we can highlight the reduction in agrochemical consumption and production costs, reduction in return on investment time, improvement in the quality of agrochemical application, reduction of environmental impact and increase in the final profitability of the product. Jacto customer. These are factors of great impact and bring very significant results to the farmer in each cycle”, comments Cristiano Pontelli, Otmis Business Manager.

In the line of tractorized sprayers, the highlight with a focus on cost reduction is the Condor 800 AM 18. Its 18 meter booms with hydraulic drive provide high operational capacity, being 17% faster in the same coverage time of the area of ​​operation and reduce crop crushing losses by up to 22%. “Farmers have increasingly sought technologies that aim to increase productivity and, especially in family farming, also increase comfort, safety and practicality of operations”, explains Paulo Henrique Bueno, Product Manager for Jacto's Tractorized Sprayers line.

Otmis Tratorizada Campaign Rural Show Coopavel 2017 - The Jacto Tractorized Bar Sprayer Line is running a special campaign to purchase Precision Agriculture products from the Otmis line during the Coopavel Rural Show.

Among the options is availability with a 35% discount on the purchase of the LB 1100 light bar set (GPS) and the SC 3300 section controller on the Condor 800 AM, Columbia AD-18 and Advance 2000 lines, or 20% discount for the acquisition of the LB 1100 and SC 3300 set for the Advance 3000 line.
