ZEPHIRO: the electric revolution in vineyard and orchard treatments
Caffini introduces ZEPHIRO, the 100% electric trailed sprayer awarded as a Technical Innovation at EIMA 2024, setting new standards for efficiency and sustainability in the sector.
A true ally for modern farmers aiming to enhance their operations while reducing environmental impact.
48V electrification: superior maneuverability and safety
One of ZEPHIRO's most innovative features is its 48V electrification system. This eliminates the need for mechanical drive via power take-off and shaft, ensuring superior maneuverability at row ends and enhanced operator safety. Moreover, reducing moving mechanical parts significantly cuts maintenance costs and wear risks.
Electric blowers and PWM valves: precision spraying
ZEPHIRO revolutionizes spraying with a system of electric blowers that allows for instant adjustment of volume and airflow, tailoring treatments to the specific needs of the crops. Additionally, it enables differentiated air volumes at various plant heights, optimizing treatment effectiveness and minimizing waste. The treatment management employs PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) nozzles with variable rates, adapting the distribution of plant protection products to the actual needs of the plants.
Real-time analysis with AI and stereoscopic cameras
Thanks to integrated stereoscopic cameras and artificial intelligence algorithms, ZEPHIRO can analyze crop conditions in real time and automatically adjust treatments. This ensures greater spraying precision, a drastic reduction in pesticide use, and a significant contribution to environmental sustainability.
ISOBUS Interface: simplicity and integration
The inclusion of the ISOBUS interface makes ZEPHIRO extremely intuitive and easy to operate. This universal standard allows seamless integration with modern tractors, simplifying control and enhancing operational efficiency. Farmers can manage all system functions directly from the tractor cab, saving time and reducing error margins.
Sustainability: the future of agriculture is here
With ZEPHIRO, Caffini reaffirms its leadership in technological innovation applied to agriculture. This new solution represents a step forward into the future, where efficiency, precision, and environmental respect converge to meet the challenges of the agricultural sector.
