The PFM system, a true laboratory

of analysis on four wheels

Among the main innovations introduced by Faresin with the new Unifeed there is, first of all, the PFM technology (signed by Faresin together with the ITPhotonics startup) based on the homogeneity and selection indexes that allow to know and manage the homogeneity level of the ration. Thanks to this technology the breeder can optimize the feeding of his animals, avoid errors, reduce consumption and processing time, because it allows to monitor the nutritional content of the ingredients and prepare them properly, suggesting to the operator the ideal time to finish the unifeed processing.

The data detected by the PFM can be viewed remotely; therefore, the farm manager or the vet can check the correct execution of the works.

A brand new livery In designing the PF range, the Breganze company has paid particular attention to aesthetics, with captivating lines, designed to satisfy even the professional most sensitive to the design.

Also the identification codes are new, those which, reporting the number of augers and the net effective volume, facilitate the identification of the different models of the range (PF 2.20 indicates a wagon with two augers and a mixing tank of 20 cubic meters).  

 

Even more effective mixing

The restyling then affected the mixing system. Tub and augers have been designed in an integrated way and this - as the manufacturer explains - has allowed to upgrade the efficiency of the processing.

In fact, thanks to the combination of the new mixing tank with the special shape of the cochlea and the use of Power Blade (including the Fast Cleaning technology), the PF wagons stand out for their productivity and uniformity of their mixing.

Among the constructional pluses of the range, the unloading blade of the drain, an additional blade that keeps the bottom of the tank clean, avoiding unwanted fermentation and allowing the ration to be unloaded evenly.

 

Tier IV Final engines

As for the propulsion system, Faresin has focused on Tier IV final engines, turbo intercoolers with common rail. A solution therefore fully in line with the latest European emission standards.

It is possible to choose between different power classes depending on the different cubing of the mixing tank or on the number of augers.

The solutions offered by the company from Breganze start from a minimum of 125 to reach a maximum of 210 kW. A wide margin of choice that allows to achieve top-level performance - explains the manufacturer - both as consumption (with a reduction of 20%) and as the maximum speed of road transfer, which now reaches 40 kilometers per hour.
