Pushing innovation in technology and machinery to the limit so that they can best meet the needs of farmers and agricultural contractors: that´s the goal of agricultural machinery manufacturer AVR. In August, AVR is unveiling its most recent innovations in crop handling technology: the Cobra and Falcon. The Cobra is a store loader with a length of 15, 17 or 19 metres and a belt width of 80 cm. The Falcon is the new receiving hopper with a 2.4 m working width on the roller set and a length of 4.5 or 6 metres. Demonstrations are being held during the Potato Demo Day in Westmaas (NL) and Potato Europe in Villers-Saint-Christophe (FR). Continuous development, extensive testing It is important for a manufacturer of agricultural machinery to engage in ongoing development work. The needs of farmers and agricultural contractors are constantly evolving, and their machines have to keep pace with them. “That brought us to the development of the Cobra and Falcon. Unique features include the 100% soft bunker floor of the Falcon and the Cobra’s unequalled capacity, thanks to its double drum motors.”, notes Sales & Marketing Manager Stefaan Dierickx. "To guarantee users an optimal product with which they can confidently and safely store their valuable crop, we do long and extensive field-testing of our prototypes. It is very important that you offer a well-designed product, with which you can handle potatoes in a fast and effective, as well as a potato-friendly manner.”
