AUTONOMOUS CROP HARVEST AND STORAGE SYSTEM
20240375572 · 2024-11-14 · ·

A crop harvesting system for reducing crop unloading times. The system includes a real-time job market for crop load delivery. The system further includes a depot for crop drop off. In one example, a farmer transfers harvested crops into a trailer, a driver is notified via an app of a load meeting a predefined criteria, the trailer is transported to the depot and dropped off by the driver, a dump mule picks up the trailer, and the dump mule transfers the trailer to a storage container where the crop is stored.

Method And Device For Wetting Grain
20250000029 · 2025-01-02 ·

A method for grain wetting comprises: transferring grain into a container using a grain transfer hopper, wherein the grain transfer hopper is equipped with a liquid container, a pump, at least one nozzle, and pipes for liquid supply. The hopper is configured with at least one hole for at least one nozzle at the section where the grain moves. As the grain is transferred, water is introduced into the hopper, mixing the grain with water at the section where the grain is moving.

The proposed invention provides a reduction in the time required to perform agricultural tasks, including grain wetting operations, decreases the number of technical devices needed to carry out agricultural tasks including grain wetting, and decreases the number of technological operations required for performing agricultural tasks, including grain wetting operations.

Extractor of material stored in silo bags that rolls up used plastic and ejects the resultant bales

An improved silo bag extractor that can collect grain or other flowable materials contained therein. As the extractor empties the silo bag's contents into an accompanying grain cart, it simultaneously performs differentiated cuts on the bag, effectively dividing it in two bands of plastic that are directed to the left and right sides of the machine, where they wind tightly around roll-up assemblies equipped with consumable rigid plastic cores. On terminating grain extraction, the used plastic sheet takes the form of two very dense bales that can each weigh 100 kilos or more depending on the original size of the bag. These bales are then released from the machine automatically, proffering several advantages: not having to manually collect large swaths of plastic, not having to rewind the plastic on a second contraption and accomplishing lesser compaction in the process, easier storing and handling, and lower transportation costs to recycling centers.
