General information
- Short Summary
-
Thanks to an innovative process, a French company designed a central tire inflation system (CTIS) which fits wheeled agricultural machinery. The innovation consists in the slippage rate information that is communicated to the operator. The technology gives the possibility to inflate and deflate the machine’s tires according to several parameters.
The company seeks serious distributors willing to create a distribution partnership for this innovation. - Full Description
-
A French SME, manufacturer of agricultural tailor made rims, has developed an innovative central tire inflation system (CTIS) to answer recurrent and contemporary problems in the agricultural world. This solution is a patented technology that gives precious information to the operator about slippage rate and a real-time ability to control the tire pressure of the machine equipped from the cabin, while in motion.
The aim for a farmer is always to have the right pressure in their tires (low in the fields and high on the roads).
Very easy to set up and to use, the solution brings several benefits: tires lasting up to 50% longer, increased crop production, improved operator comfort, increased traction, fuel use up to 20% lower, reduced slippage and reduced soil compaction.
The equipment includes a slippage alarm, thanks to a combination of a GPS fitted in the electronic device, a revolution sensor and an alarm if the combination pressure / speed is not adapted.
The machines that can be equipped are all agricultural wheeled machines: tractor, trailer, slurry tanker, spreader… The system is compatible with all brands of machinery and is easy to use.
The company, well known in France, is now looking for distributors in Europe and beyond to expand this innovation and to develop its market shares. The requested partner must have a good network in the agricultural area and technical capacity to install the equipment and proceed, if necessary, to after-sales service. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The company, active since 2001, is very well recognized in France in its sector, as a specialist in tailor-made agricultural wheels and is present in all major French distributors in the sector. It comprises about 20 qualified people.
Beyond the advantages of safety and comfort, the innovative central tire inflation system reduces fuel consumption (-20%) and increases tire life (+ 50%). - Stage of Development
