BMG exhibited its extensive range of agricultural components at Nampo, where the stand highlighted the importance of the company’s Boer Slim/Smart Farming concept, launched by BMG four years ago to assist farmers cope with constantly changing trends in the agricultural sector.
“Through this initiative, BMG’s team of agricultural experts offers farming sustainability solutions throughout Africa that focus on effective food production, the correct use of suitable equipment for the specific task and the efficient application of advanced technologies,” explains Carlo Beukes, agricultural manager, BMG. “We work closely with farmers to demonstrate that the investment in the latest equipment is necessary to maximise productivity and does translate into tangible operational efficiencies.
“A recent case study is testament to this. BMG was approached by a local farmer who wanted to accelerate his tobacco drying process and expand crop production, but was restricted by power supply limitations. After the installation of BMG Motoline variable speed drives, the farmer is able to run 22 tobacco drying containers at once, where previously he could only run and alternate between nine drying containers at any one time. As a result, he has more than doubled his crop production output.”
Working demonstrations showcased how BMG’s range of electronic, fluid technology, tools and power transmission components operate together, to form an efficient system that enhances productivity and energy efficiency. BMG’s high quality replacement agricultural components, which conform to relevant quality assurance and specification certifications, are engineered to improve productivity in the farming sector, to operate efficiently for extended periods and to reduce costs in the long term. BMG provides solutions to all key players in the agricultural sector, including local manufacturers of equipment and implements, as well as agricultural resellers and the farmer.
