Agricultural equipment manufacturers can connect with new Eaton hydraulic products and solutions designed to enhance farmers’ productivity and profitability at the 2013 AG CONNECT Expo & Summit on January 29 to 31, 2013 in Kansas City, MO, in booth number 4428.
“To meet the requirements of a growing population as well as maximizing profit, farmers today need agricultural equipment that delivers more than just a way to prepare the land, plant, treat, and harvest crops,” says Subhasis Chatterjee, Segment Director of Agriculture and Forestry for Eaton’s Hydraulics Group. “Eaton’s hydraulic solutions for agriculture applications are designed with the farmers’ needs in mind – from increased safety and efficiency to improved machine emissions and fuel economy – providing farmers with the consistent performance needed to maximize yields, profits and investment payback.”
Eaton products and solutions that will be featured at AG Connect include:
- LifeSense Hose: Farmers can now be alerted to a hydraulic hose failure before it happens with Eaton’s hydraulic hose condition monitoring system. LifeSense detects pending failure-related events and provides advance notification so the assembly can be replaced, which prevents unplanned downtime, potential crop damage or environmental impact.
- DYNAMAX EC850 Hose: Where farm equipment faces extreme pressures and tight installations, this new ultra high pressure 500 bar (7,350 psi) flexible spiral hydraulic hose enhances critical applications.
- Expanded Industrial Hose: With Eaton’s recently expanded industrial hose portfolio, agricultural equipment manufacturers can access one of the most comprehensive hose offerings in the industry to reliably meet the needs of a wide range of applications.
- Guardian Seal: Working in harsh conditions and exposure to fertilizers and other chemicals can create corrosion, wear and downtime hazards on agricultural equipment. Eaton’s new improved plating technology on Eaton’s Walterscheid metric tube fitting product line improves corrosion resistance.
- X20 Series Piston Pump: As the standards for emissions and fuel economy change, original equipment manufacturers can count on Eaton’s new series of work circuit piston pumps to help meet their emission and fuel economy goals.
- Series 2 Variable Displacement Piston Pump: Because space, noise and control are critical to agricultural applications, the Series 2 variable displacement piston pump’s cradle swashplate design and heavy duty components combine time-tested reliability with compact packaging, exceptional control and quiet operation.
- F(x) Electronics: Equipment manufacturers can easily and efficiently integrate Eaton’s broad portfolio of feature-rich, open-architecture controllers and displays into designs for electrohydraulic systems.
From forestry to farming and earth-moving equipment, Eaton’s featured hydraulic and electronics products and solutions span all agricultural platforms. For example, Eaton’s engine and propulsion system solutions combine intelligent controllers, advanced valves and pumps with intuitive input devices to increase power, improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, while implement management solutions help improve implement control, variable rate application, and commodity handling. In addition, Eaton’s control system solutions, including vehicle control and sensor products, are designed to monitor and protect machine technology to increase productivity, efficiency and profitability.
In addition to hosting new products and solutions at the AG CONNECT booth, Eaton is serving as a Gold Sponsor of the 2013 AG Executive Forum and Exclusive sponsor of education seminars.
Eaton experts will be available to address attendee challenges first-hand. Hydraulic systems on agriculture and forestry equipment often call for customized solutions due to variances in performance demands. At the booth, Eaton will provide attendees with information regarding Eaton’s Application & Commercial Engineering teams, who are dedicated to providing customers with application and system engineering support tailored to solving the industry’s toughest problems.
