Agragex will attend EIMA 2016

Spanish manufacturers

AGRAGEX, the Spanish Exporters association of agricultural and livestock equipment, will attend EIMA 2016 supporting an outstanding group of Spanish manufacturers to promote its industry’s main assets: European technology in great value, adapted solutions to attend any local request, and worldwide leading innovations in irrigation and crop protection trade sectors.

Spanish companies will showcase at EIMA with the support of AGRAGEX. Spain is one of the countries with more exhibitors at EIMA, as Spanish industry is worldwide acknowledged for the solid manufacture of its machinery and the advanced technology for irrigation systems.

Spanish innovation awarded by EIMA’s jury

This year, among the products awarded as Technical Innovation by the jury of EIMA visitors will find one “Made in Spain”. The H3O Project, manufactured by Pulverizadores Fede, not only has been awarded as one of the 25 “Technical Innovations” in this edition, but also is one of the 14 that also have the sustainability award “Premio Blu”. This is the first time this award is given by EIMA’s jury and the H3O Project of Pulverizadores Fede has been chosen because it is the first pro-active air blast in the market that automatically reports if the parameters of the machine are not correct.

Spanish novelties at EIMA 2016

Among the novelties presented by Spanish companies attending EIMA with the support of AGRAGEX we can highlight: a pruning machine with adjustable height and improved cut and operators visibility; sprayers with aluminum bars, to reduce the weight of the equipment; high-tech plastics for crop or forage that can control temperature, heat and weeds; and shredders with double reversible hydraulic feeder for olive, fruit crops or vineyard residue.

Irrigation

Spanish innovation for irrigation systems will be an outstanding reveal at EIMA again (for its historical lack of rain, Spain is a worldwide leader in irrigation and water management markets). Several companies will present their latest technologies, such as remote management and control technologies for irrigation and fertilization that several firms will showcase; drip irrigation patents that prevent jams and provide continuous flow; aluminium sprinkler irrigation pipes; or high performance rotary sprinklers able to work with low flow and low pressure due to its adjustable two-speed motor.

AGRAGEX, the Spanish Exporters Association of Agricultural Machinery and its components, Greenhouses and Crop Protection, Irrigation Systems, Livestock Equipment, Nutrition and Animal Health, Forestry Machinery, Biomass and Post-Harvesting Equipment; will provide comprehensive information about the Spanish manufacturers and key figures of this trade sector’s exports to the international markets.

Spanish exports of agricultural and livestock equipment to Italy reported a turnover of more than 120M€ on 2015. Italy was the third best client.
