Porc Armor Évolution, Sesol Solar powered self-consumption system Facing increasing electricity prices, many farmers want to de- velop power production on-farm. To meet that need, Porc Armor Évolution developed a tool for sizing self-consumption photovoltaic installations. It allows the comparison of several solar power production hypotheses: tracker, rooftop installa- tion and ground installation. The tool relies on ten years of data to estimate the solar pow- er production potential in order to optimise the installation according to the winter period, a period when power is ex- pensive. It provides rapid visibility on installation and operat- ing costs, payback time and internal rate of return on investment of the project for the three simulations.

Joz, Vario Sprocket Chain wheel Joz produces drive units that propel manure scrapers through the barn. A manure scraper with a chain uses a nest wheel or a direct drive from the motor to the chain and thus the slider. Over the years, wear of the nest wheel occurs; the nest wheel on the drive station has to be replaced three times during the life of a manure scraper. The Vario Sprocket changes that. It can change its pitch, adapting to the varying pitch of the chain. It has six teeth, which can move independently of each other, reducing wear and compensating for unequal chain link lengths. The teeth can also be replaced as the parts wear, without having to replace the complete drive wheel.
