FARMING & AGRICULTURE

Do you need efficiency and productivity in every harvest? Count on WEG.

For WEG, productivity and efficiency is important. Therefore, we have developed complete solutions, from water collection for farming to full systems for process monitoring, ensuring high performance for the farming industry. We have joined technology with tradition to develop reliable solutions. Our internal structure and service network allows us to build a close relationship with customers, where they need, with the speed the production requires.

Collection and Irrigation – Automation and use of alternators in the water collection system.

Essential for production in the farming industry, water usage must be optimized so as to improve the product quality and production between harvests, intensify the use of the land, and reduce the risks of investment in agricultural activity.

Seeking to maximize the efficiency of the processes and obtain the best economical return, WEG offers alternators to be coupled to the diesel generator set that supplies the collection pumps and the traction motors, as well as fertilization pumps and all electrical systems. These alternators, when coupled to diesel or gas engines (stationary), are responsible for providing the electric energy to supply all the power for the water collection system and also the pivot irrigation. WEG alternators are built following national and international standards, complying with the main application criteria and requirements.

For the irrigation system, the most recommended solution is to use soft-starters or variable speed drives. Using a WEG solution, it is possible to obtain high productivity rates and energy efficiency, bringing even more results for the farming industry.

Automation of the aeration system in silos/warehouses.

Following the evolution and growth of grain production in Brazil, WEG developed efficient solutions for grain storage. The solutions consists of an automated aeration system in silos/storages, bringing the following advantages:

Reduction of power consumption up to 60%, due to the speed variation required for the ideal operating condition (taking into account the grain type and amount stored, as well as humidity and temperature)
Quality assurance and storage standardization
Reduction of maintenance costs and longer lifetime
Average return on the invested capital within one year
Once the grains reach the units and are stored in the silo, the objective of the aeration is to retain the quality of the grain by means of an efficient ventilation system.
Storage units with efficient ventilation system properly sized have the electric energy consumption in the aeration process reduced by 60%, keeping the temperature homogeneous across the mass.

Power supply solutions

A consistent energy supply is essential for any operation. WEG offers complete solutions including a wide range of transformers and conventional substations to ensure a reliable and consistent energy supply across a variety of applications.
