JOSKIN has developed a new tool to easily operate the increasing number of hydraulic functions on agricultural machines, while protecting the equipment and the meadows/arable lands: the automatic management system. It is standard on many of the spreading solutions for the JOSKIN slurry tankers and takes over the various electrohydraulic functions in a programmed sequence. The Touch-Control control box is an ergonomic and efficient solution to easily control a combination of hydraulic functions specific to each spreading implement. This touch screen is installed in the tractor cab. As the spreading sequences differ from one implement to another, they are all stored in the ECU memory. The proper implement then only has to be selected, which makes it easier to use and change implements. In automatic mode, the START button launches the recorded sequence: opening the feeding valve, starting the macerator, lowering the implement to the ground, etc. A manual mode can also be selected in order to act on some functions independently of the sequence.
If your tractor does not have enough spool valves to control all the hydraulic functions of your vehicle, it is necessary to add an electrohydraulic solution to your machine. In this case, electrically controlled hydraulic valves are fitted on the side of the chassis and gather all or part of the hydraulic functions of your machine. This control system is protected by a metal casing against water, mud, etc. from the working conditions. This concept consists of an aluminium entry block with a capacity of 60 l/min or 120 l/min, onto which the different solenoid valves, each representing a function, are fitted. As standard, the hydraulic installation is equipped to work in a closed circuit called "Load Sensing", but an ergonomic bypass also allows work in an open circuit, i.e. with tractors without Load Sensing.
The drive and direction of rotation of the conveyor belt can also be controlled from a control box installed on each side at the back of the Drakkar. The operator can then pace the unloading into a conveyor and keep an eye on the operation.
The Ferti-Control 200 is a display for the functions of the muck spreader. It provides information on the electronic opening degree of the guillotine door and a spreader counter.
The Ferti-Control 300 is a control box for the functions of the muck spreader in order to control the starting and stopping of the moving floor as well as its speed. It also allows to change the direction of rotation by reversing the hydraulic selector switch in the tractor cab.
The Ferti-Control 4000 is a high-tech display for the functions of the muck spreader. It allows the electronic control of the moving floor speed and direction of rotation. Thanks to its advanced level of technology, it is also possible to control all the functions of the machine: moving floor, flow meter, weighing system, guillotine door, limitation board, etc.
The Ferti-Control 500 is a control box for the functions of the muck spreader in order to control the starting and stopping of the moving floor as well as its speed and rotation direction. All other hydraulic functions on the machine can also be controlled via this box (option).
Are you looking for precision spreading? No problem! JOSKIN has developed an electronic flow meter (Ø 150 or 200 mm) that ensures an exact flow rate at all times, regardless of your driving speed. The flow meter continuously measures the slurry flow, while sensors on the tanker wheels measure the driving speed. By interpreting this data, a computer will automatically regulate the slurry flow according to the driving speed via an electric valve. This device requires an ISOBUS terminal.
For precision spreading, JOSKIN offers an electronic spreading management system (proportional flow system) available on ISOBUS and Ferti-Control 4000.
During the use, the operator indicates the loaded volume (full load, half load, etc.), the desired output per hectare (in m³ or t/ha), the effective working width as well as the product density. If the system is combined with a weighing device, the operator must first validate the load on board, which is indicated by the device. With this data and the selected loaded volume (full load, half load, etc.), the density will be calculated.
The operator then chooses the position of his door according to the material to be spread. Once this information has been entered into the terminal, the moving floor drive is automatically adjusted according to the required flow rate and the driving speed of the spreader.
The regulation operates in closed circuit and the moving floor speed is continuously monitored. This system ensures that the required moving floor speed is maintained, even if the body is almost empty or, on the contrary, if it is well filled and the spreader drives on a slope.
JOSKIN offers several types of hour counters: cardan shaft rotation counter, vibration counter, etc. This allows you to easily monitor the use of your machine park (e.g. for rentals, in agricultural cooperatives, etc.).
As standard, a hydraulic pressure switch regulates the moving floor speed. A graduated scale ensures a fine dosing for a quality spreading. The pressure switch is connected directly to the hydraulic supply line of the moving floor motor. It is usually fitted at the height of the spreader drawbar, close to the user, but outside the tractor cab.
If your tractor does not have enough exportable oil for the operation of the various options or if you do not want to mix the oils of different tractors working with the same vehicle (e.g. in an agricultural co-operative), JOSKIN offers you an independent hydraulic installation driven by the tractor P.T.O-shaft. This equipment is standard on some ranges.
What is Isobus? Definition according to the AEF - Agricultural Industry Electronics Foundation: “Electronics improve the safety, efficiency, precision and performance of agricultural equipment. In the past, each manufacturer used its own patented solutions that had to be adapted specifically to each tractor and equipment combination. The universal 'plug and play' solution offered by ISOBUS will simplify things for the future: one terminal for a wide range of equipment, regardless of the manufacturer.” At JOSKIN, the control box interface, just like the automaton interface, can be replaced by the ISOBUS terminal already installed in the cabin of the tractor, if it is equipped with one, or by a JOSKIN terminal. Thanks to this system, one single control box in the cabin replaces several ones: a direct way to high-tech agriculture! This system centralises, for instance, the electrohydraulic controls, the pressure sensors, the management of the injection implements, the flow rate proportional to the driving speed, or the dynamic weighing system. The terminal is also compatible with a GPS system for a precise guidance when spreading on different plots. Most tractor manufacturers are using this technology.
With the ISOBUS technology to control your vehicle, you can use either the standard tractor display or one of the optional ISO Control displays supplied by JOSKIN. Available in 3 versions and sizes (5.7", 10.4" or 12.1" screen size), they are touch-sensitive and allow the management of all electrohydraulic functions of your machine, depending on the chosen configuration. The ISO Control Touch 800 display offers, for instance, a USB stick plug-in for data export, an analogue camera connection port, etc. The ISO Control Touch 1200 screen provides a "Multi-Window" display.
The multifunctional control box is the most ergonomic and efficient solution to easily operate the increasing number of hydraulic functions on modern agricultural machinery. With this installation, it is possible to feed from 2 to 14 hydraulic functions, by means of one single hydraulic distributor on the tractor via solenoid valves, which are controlled from a single control box in the tractor cab. This box is specific and custom-made: it has no "empty buttons" and only includes the configuration of your machine. Made of aluminium, it is robust. A special seal protects it against water and dust. In addition, it is fitted with a quick coupling for an easy disconnection and storage after use.
In cooperation with John Deere, JOSKIN offers a real-time slurry analysis technology using an infrared lens. The composition of the slurry (nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), ammoniacal nitrogen (NH 4) and dry matter) is measured in real time during spreading. The system allows the integration of a spreading instruction expressed in nitrogen unit/ha (for instance), and no longer in m³/ha like a classic flow meter system. Other NIR solutions, such as those offered by "dinamica generale" and implemented by some tractor manufacturers, such as CNH, are also available upon request. JOSKIN now integrates this analysis system into its slurry tankers with flow meters via ISOBUS.
You can operate some of the features of your machine by remote control. This can be useful when your vehicle is stationary and you need to perform a secondary function outside the tractor cab, such as emptying into a hopper, start/stop a pump on a hydrocleaner, etc.
