Reinke SAC VRI
Reinke Manufacturing introduces a
patent-pending technology to increase
variable rate irrigation efficiency for
swing arm corners: SAC VRI. Growers in
the U.S. and Canada will further benefit
from the user-friendly RPM Preferred
Touch or Annex PFTM panels and their
ability to upload and store several
prescriptions, providing them with
the opportunity to save both time and
money.
Used on the whole irrigation system,
variable rate irrigation can segment
water application into more than
300,000 zones, which growers can
optimize over time. A predictive
prescription is provided for SAC VRI to
maximize yield based on results of swing
arm corner tests across numerous fields.
SAC VRI is available on all new swing
arm corner configurations. Visit reinke.

Tong E-TIP Box Tipper
The next-generation E-TIP box tipper
is built upon a patent-pending design
featuring an innovatively designed
crop-retaining lid for the gentlest
handling, alongside an energy-efficient
all-electric drive system.
The E-TIP box tipper replaces
traditional forward pivot-tipping
hydraulics with a box-rotating design,
powered by Tong's Blue Inverter
Technology all-electric direct-drive
motors.
Optimum safety is also a key feature
of the new tipper's design, with the
machine requiring much less forklift
movement than traditional box tippers.
The more continuous loading and
unloading process, coupled with fully
automatic PLC-controlled tipping,
results in a high-throughput box-tipping
process, which can be specified to suit
a variety of box sizes, depending on
requirements.
