Easier with Agro Bag

We have rethought the way of emptying big bags

TRACTOR

Speed

With an Agro Bag mounted on the fertiliser spreader, big bags are emptied in just 5 seconds which is faster than ever before.

FARMER

Optimization

The daily operation is optimized with Agro Bag as the farmer has time for other work tasks and can thus strengthen the bottom line financially.

GRAIN

Safety

Emptying big bags manually can be risky for the farmer’s safety. With Agro Bag you can empty big bags safely and securely from the tractor cabin.

New tool for emptying big bags

Our product

With Agro Bag we’ve tried to solve a general need in the agricultural industry by faster, easier and safer opening of big bags in the fertiliser spreader. Although Agro Bag works in a simple and straightforward way, the result of this solution is a combination of complicated, mechanical technique mixed with a design of soft edges and shapes to achieve a nice look as a component for your fertiliser spreader.

Moreover, Agro Bag is equipped with adjustable profile pipes with pierced holes which allows the farmer to fine-tune his Agro Bag to his own fertiliser spreader regardless of the model with only 2,5 cm deviation which is the distance between each hole.

Facts about Agro Bag

Handling big bags has never been easier

1. Speed of emptying

With Agro Bag you can empty big bags faster than ever. More precisely, with two Agro Bags mounted on a fertiliser spreader, the farmer can empty two bigbags in just five seconds.

By comparison, it takes 90 seconds to empty two big bags with a manual operation. Therefore, with Agro Bag you can get through the work faster.

 

*The calculation is based on the fact that the emptying begins when the big bag hangs over the fertiliser spreader and is ready for unloading.

2. Operational optimization

With Agro Bag the farmer has the opportunity to optimize his daily operations by emptying all big bags from inside the tractor cabin which gives more time to other work tasks and strengthens the bottom line financially.

In the agriculture today a lot of resources are spent on rethinking the farming operations of the future and the agriculturist is already using ISOBUS, computerizing, drones etc. In addition, robot technology running on both biodiesel and solar energy is being tested which will automate the daily operation in the future agriculture and save manpower.

With Agro Bag we want to think in innovative ways and contribute to the autonomous agricultural operation of the future, as Agro Bag replaces a process that was previously manual but which is now newly invented and operationally optimized.

3. Work environment

In addition to the operational optimization, one of the main causes why we have developed Agro Bag was the operational safety and the working environment. Emptying big bags manually with a knife can in some cases be linked to a certain risk as you are dealing with a big bag of at least 500 kg. Therefore, you must be watchful if you are near a big bag during emptying.

This manual way of emptying big bags in the agriculture has existed for as long as we can remember and there has never been a solution on this process before. But with Agro Bag we are now eliminating this risk as we allow the farmer to empty big bags safely and securely from inside the tractor cabin.

4. Cost savings

On larger farms there is often two men working during the unloading of big bags. One man driving a telehandler and another man cutting.

With Agro Bag you will have the opportunity to save one of these men so that now only one driver is needed. It gives much more flexibility that you can put a man to handle other relevant work tasks while emptying big bags.

The motivation behind Agro Bag

About us

At Agro Bag we’ve more than 30 years of experience within the agricultural sector and have been in the industry since 1990. Therefore, over the years we have seen the need for a safer and more optimized solution when emptying big bag. This has resulted in our unique tool which we have applied for patent on.

1. Security system

The entire conceptual basis for the development of Agro Bag is based on combining efficiency with safety. Therefore, the Agro Bag is equipped with 4 coil springs and a top frame that shields the knives in the middle which provide greater safety in a busy work environment.

When the sack is lowered over the top frame and weight is applied, the coil springs will be released and the blades will then go up between the top frame to cut the sack. After the sack is emptied and this is lifted, the coil springs will return to their original position and again shield the blades when no emptying is taking place.

10. Handles

The entire Agro Bag construction is created to be an assembly set with replaceable parts. Therefore 12 handles are used to set both height, length, location of the platform and also to make the assembly user-friendly.

9. Safe installation with M-16 bolts

When the Agro Bag is mounted on the edge of the fertiliser spreader and set to the correct length, the supplied M-16 bolt must be clamped against the fertiliser spreader to mount the device. For the sake of preventing the farmer from drilling holes and changing the construction of the fertiliser spreader, rubber is inserted between the brackets and the bolts. This is done to buckle the M-16 bolts to the rubber and prevent damaging the fertiliser spreader.

8. Lifting hooks

All brackets each have 2 lifting hooks, and all platforms have 4 lifting hooks to make the installation as easy and user-friendly as possible, which also means that the installation can be performed safely and quickly by only one person.

7. Adjustable profile pipes

Agro Bag is equipped with adjustable profile pipes, which allows the farmer to fine-tune his Agro Bag to his own fertiliser spreader regardless of the model and with only 2,5 cm. deviation between each hole.

6. Flex system

The individual brackets are moveable at the bottom, which makes the Agro Bag flexible. It’s an advantage the sack is placed obliquely on the platform, as the moveable brackets then distribute the pressure on the entire edge of the fertiliser spreader and thus prevent damage to the construction. We call this a flex system.

4. Locking system

In addition to Agro Bag’s automatic spring safety system, the implement is also equipped with a manual locking system that, when activated, prevents any kind of emptying and exposure of knives.

The locking system works in such a way that two steel profiles are clicked up so that they sit under the top frame and thus prevent the coil springs from releasing even if weight is applied to the platform. The locking system is relevant in situations where Agro Bag is to be removed and kept on the floor, or if the farmer has to do work tasks up in the fertiliser spreader.

3. Knife system

Agro Bag is equipped with a specially developed knife system with barbs which make sure that the sack is getting cut the first time – every time. Even through the barbs grip and rake the bottom of the sack it will still give a nice cut that doesn’t leave flaws from the sack in the fertiliser spreader.

2. Big bag stop

To make it easier for the farmer to empty big bags with Agro Bag, the big bag stop will help brake a swinging sack and at the safe time make sure that the sack is always centrally located above the platform before it’s lowered and cut. *Big bag stop is additional equipment.

5. Adjustable brackets

Agro Bag is geared with individual brackets for every single fertiliser spreader and is also adjustable in the height so the farmer can operate the platform up or down. This function is especially relevant if there’s a tarpaulin system in the fertiliser spreader so it’s not possible to close the tarpaulin after the emptying.
