Geringhoff and NEXAT: a synergistic partnership for the future of agriculture
The NEXAT system: A holistic approach to crop production
NEXAT is a revolutionary crop production system that aims to transform the agricultural industry. At the heart of this system is an innovative wide-coverage vehicle driven by engines with a total of 1,100 horsepower. The NEXAT is equipped with two Liebherr diesel generators of 550 hp each to power four electric motors. This vehicle serves as a modular platform that allows for the seamless integration of various implements and attachments required for different agricultural operations. The NEXAT system provides significantly higher productivity than traditional combines, allowing you to process large areas with less energy, time, fuel and less environmental impact. In particular, the combine can reach throughputs of up to 3,000 bushels per acre (approximately 200 tons per hectare). This system reduces the number of machines working in the fields to one machine that can perform all the necessary tasks. This significantly reduces the impact on the soil, as only 5% of the area is touched by the wheels of agricultural machinery.
Geringhoff: a leader in harvesting technology
Geringhoff, a German company with more than 140 years of experience in the industry, is known for its high-quality and innovative harvesting equipment, namely reapers. The company's experience in developing and manufacturing the industry's best corn headers, sunflower headers and other specialized attachments has made it a reliable partner in the agricultural sector.
Synergy between NEXAT and Geringhoff
Especially for this combine, Geringhoff has developed reapers that are perfectly matched to the NEXAT. The Geringhoff Draper and Corn header, for example, provide high productivity and quality of grain harvesting. The use of these harvesters in combination with the innovative NEXAT threshing and separation system significantly increases harvesting efficiency, reducing losses and minimizing grain damage. The NEXAT system combine has a 36 cubic meter grain hopper, which is almost twice as large as the largest conventional combine on the market. In addition, the module's high-speed discharge system can unload grain at 600 liters per second, which significantly reduces the time it takes to unload the crop.
Useful sections:
The integration of Geringhoff's advanced harvesting technology, the NEXAT wide header, with the modular design of the NEXAT, provides a number of benefits for farmers:
- - Increased efficiency: With its interchangeable modules, the NEXAT system significantly reduces the number of machines needed on the farm, optimizing operations and reducing operating costs.
- Increased productivity: The impressive performance and unloading speed of the NEXCO harvesting module combined with the power and versatility of the NEXAT result in a significant increase in harvesting productivity, up to 50% more than traditional combines.
- Development of agriculture: The NEXAT's wide-cutting design and steering capabilities ensure that only a small percentage of arable land is used, preserving soil health and potentially increasing yields by 10-20%.
- Reduced environmental impact: The NEXAT's electric and hydrogen engines and efficient design contribute to a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and fuel consumption, which is in line with the industry's sustainability goals.
The NEXAT system with the Geringhoff header was awarded the gold medal at the "Innovation Award AGRITECHNICA 2022" by DLG.
The partnership between NEXAT and Geringhoff is a significant step forward in the development of modern agriculture. By combining NEXAT's comprehensive approach to crop production with Geringhoff's expertise in harvesting technology, farmers can now access a comprehensive and innovative solution that promises to revolutionize the way crops are grown, harvested and processed. This collaboration is poised to lead the agricultural industry to a more productive future.
