Multi-Functional Precision Engineering:

The ERA-3100 is a triumph of engineering synchronization, allowing three distinct, complex operations to occur in perfect sequence during a single field pass.

Integrated 3-in-1 System Design: Tillage, Fertilizers, and Fumigation

The core innovation of the ERA-3100 lies in its unified operational structure:

1. Tillage (Rotor): The PTO-driven rotor (540 RPM) breaks and pulverizes the soil, preparing the seedbed.

2. Fertilization (Bunker): Simultaneously, the seed/fertilizer bunker meters the precise amount of granular nutrient.

3. Fumigation (Applicator): The system integrates liquid or granular fumigator applicators, ensuring immediate control of diseases and pests.

This synchronization minimizes the critical time window required for planting, ensures that fertilizer and fumigant are incorporated immediately (maximizing efficacy before runoff or volatilization), and significantly reduces the number of field passes.

Optimal Tillage Depth and Soil Aeration

The ERA-3100’s 1020 Kg Empty Weight provides the necessary ground force for consistent, deeper tilling action than lighter cultivators. This depth is critical for block and tuber crops like potatoes and onions, promoting:

• Reduced Compaction: The lifting and mixing action loosens soil, enhancing aeration.

• Deep Bed Preparation: Creates a deep, uniform bed that allows tubers/roots to expand easily, directly impacting yield size and quality.

Durable Design with Spring-Loaded Furrowers

The ERA-3100 features furrowers with robust spring protection. This design is crucial when operating at speed (3-5 km/h) in unpredictable Indian soil conditions. If the furrower shoe encounters a buried rock or hard obstacle (where prior Rock Picker clearance was incomplete), the spring allows the shank to trip and reset, preventing structural damage and minimizing operational downtime.

The Imperative of Soil Health and Efficiency:

Utilizing the ERA-3100 is a strategic choice for high-value agriculture, focusing on resource optimization and long-term soil protection.

Resource Management: Fuel, Time, and Labour Savings

The 3-in-1 operation provides immediate and quantifiable economic advantages:

• Time Saving: Reduces the total hours required for tillage and application by up to 66% (eliminating two separate passes).

• Fuel Efficiency: Cuts total diesel consumption significantly by avoiding multiple trips across the field, making the Rotary Cultivator Machine Price in India an even better investment.

• Minimized Compaction: Reducing heavy machinery passes (only one tractor/operator required) preserves soil structure and fertility.

Applications for High-Value Crops (Potatoes, Onions, Groundnuts)

The ERA-3100 is indispensable for high-value block crops where immediate fertilization and pest control are non-negotiable:

• Potato Cultivation: The machine’s action creates the necessary fine tilth while applying basal fertilizer and potentially fungicidal treatments before the tuber sets.

• Groundnuts (Peanuts): The deep tillage and aeration are vital for pod penetration, while fumigation controls crucial soil-borne pests.

• Onion and Vegetable Rows: Precise, uniform row treatment ensures every plant receives the exact nutritional and protective inputs required.

Achieving Professional Soil Management Standards

The ERA-3100 enables farmers to implement professional-grade Soil Stabilization practices by mechanically conditioning the soil and accurately incorporating protective agents deep into the profile, ensuring environmental compliance and maximum crop protection, critical in a country with strict food safety standards.

Live Experience: Quantified Field Performance:

We provide quantifiable data and verified customer reports demonstrating the efficiency and reliability of the ERA-3100.

Customer Story 1: Time Saving in Coastal Odisha (3-in-1 Efficiency)

A large-scale vegetable grower in coastal Odisha utilized the ERA-3100 for pre-season preparation, combining three tasks into one.

The Solution: They used the ERA-3100 Rotary Cultivator with a single 80 cv tractor (slightly above the 75 cv minimum). The machine was used to till, apply basal fertilizer (from the 375 Kg bunker), and incorporate fungicide.

The Result: The grower documented a 62% reduction in total man-hours and calculated that fuel consumption dropped by 35% per hectare compared to their previous multi-pass system. The synchronized operation ensured the fungicide was immediately covered, maximizing its efficacy.

Customer Story 2: Stability and Durability in Central India

A farm manager in Madhya Pradesh needed a reliable cultivator for continuous operation in abrasive, dry soil.

The Solution: They relied on the 1020 Kg Empty Weight of the ERA-3100 to ensure stability and consistent depth during the 3-5 km/h pass.

The Result: The operator noted that the stability provided by the heavy frame made the tillage process smoother than expected. Over a full season, wear rates on the tines were lower than anticipated, directly due to the consistent PTO speed (540 RPM) and the spring-loaded furrowers preventing hard impacts. Maintenance costs remained limited strictly to routine checks and lubrication.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the ERA-3100 Rotary Cultivator

• Q: What is the minimum horsepower (HP) required for the ERA-3100?

  • A: The machine requires a minimum engine power of 75 cv (HP). This economic requirement is balanced by the 1020 Kg weight to ensure sufficient power for deep tillage.

• Q: Can the ERA-3100 be used without the fertilizer/fumigator application systems?

  • A: Yes. While the machine is a 3-in-1 system, the application systems can be easily disengaged or run empty, allowing the ERA-3100 Rotary Cultivator to function solely as a standard, high-performance tilling implement.

• Q: Is the PTO input speed fixed?

  • A: The input speed is designed for the standard tractor PTO of 540 RPM, ensuring the rotor spins at the correct velocity for optimal soil mixing and pulverization at the 3-5 km/h working speed.

• Q: How large is the total capacity of the bunker?

  • A: The 3 Rows design includes a 125 Kg per row bunker capacity, resulting in a substantial total capacity of approximately 375 Kg for granular fertilizer or fumigants.

The Physics of Single-Pass Integration

The ability to operate at 3-5 km/h while performing a 3-in-1 task is achieved by maintaining low drag. The rotor blades and spring-loaded furrowers work in sequence: the blades break the hard soil, reducing the friction immediately ahead of the furrowers, allowing the entire 1020 Kg machine to pull smoothly and consistently, maximizing the efficiency of the 75 cv input.
