Agrico + sonkrag + gravitasie = ’n besproeiingsdroom
In samewerking met Agrico-kundiges is dit nou vir Carl en Cawood Crous moontlik om water met sonkrag van rivier na dam te pomp, en met behulp van gravitasie na hul spilpunte te vervoer.
Say hello to the latest feature addition for our Web Control Pump Controllers. Our Pump Controller now supports up to four current transformers to be connected simultaneously. The result? Reliable and accurate current measurement of your devices with an added fault detection system to automatically disable your pumps if a fault occurs.
Since the launch of our Pump Controller, we have transformed irrigation in Southern Africa by allowing precise control of one or several pumps. We have saved our customers millions of kilowatt-hours of energy by matching the supply of water from pumps with the demand from the irrigation systems. The pump controller can control any motor starter from a simple electromechanical starter to a sophisticated variable frequency drive (VFD). The system allows you to maximise energy optimisation.
The pump controller will be able to read RMS current from four CTs making it accurate.
The four CTs will be connected to the four relays of the pump controller and will be able to start/stop four pumps.
Each CT has its own min/max ampere and trip time (in seconds) enabling multiple fault detection.
It will enable the pump controller to stop for fault conditions such as output overcurrent, output undercurrent, and no communication.
Can be configured for reporting current only or to react on fault condition.
Can be used with old and new pump controllers.
Will be able to view measured current on the Web Control platform.

Elke druppel water wat op die plase Kromvlei en Vrede, in die distrik Piketberg gebruik word, tel. As deel van die Karsten-groep se boerdery, word watertoediening op beide plase wetenskaplik en met deeglike beplanning aangepak. Hul vennoot in dié proses, is Agrico.

Wanneer ’n bielie van ’n implement deur die grond sny soos ’n warm mes deur botter, kan dit enige boer se hart vinniger laat klop. Hierdie implement is die Agrico T1250-skeurploeg, wat gedurende die Hoopstad Groentoer aan boere gedemonstreer is.

Van pasraam tot plaasgereed: ontdek hoe Agrico se HSD’s in Suid-Afrika vervaardig word met plaaslike vakmanskap, gevorderde tegnologie en deeglike toetsing. Elke implement begin as ’n idee, word in detail ontwerp, vervaardig van kwaliteit staal, en saamgestel om optimale prestasie en duursaamheid te verseker. Agrico se plaaslike ingenieurs verstaan die uitdagings van Afrika-plase, wat beteken dat elke HSD nie net robuust en betroubaar is nie, maar ook die trots van plaaslike vervaardiging dra.

Choosing the right centre pivot is about more than just moving water. It’s about finding a system that fits your land, your crops and the realities of farming conditions. The Agrico G3 centre pivot was developed with exactly this in mind. Let’s unpack the system feature by feature, showing how flexibility and strength come together to form a reliable irrigation solution.

Terwyl drupbesproeiing ’n gewilde opsie vir sitrusboerderye is, is die regte besproeiingstelsel die een wat vir die spesifieke boer wérk. Vir die Endulini-boerdery van Pietie Ferreira in die Gamtoosvallei en die Sondagsriviervallei is die bestuurspraktyke wat met mikrobesproeiing gepaard gaan, die wenresep.
