Industrial Engineering: Unmatched Capacity and Stability

The PAI-480 – AR is built for extreme efficiency, leveraging its massive material capacity and structural strength for unparalleled uptime and precision.

Epic Capacity: 4000 Kg Seed Bunker and Dual Fertilizer System

The 4000 Kg seed bunker is the definitive logistical advantage, allowing the machine to cover colossal acreage (often 20+ hectares) before requiring a seed resupply. This is complemented by the Dual Fertilizer System (2000 Kg primary + 500 Kg secondary capacity), enabling simultaneous application of two different nutrient types (e.g., NPK basal mix and a specialized micronutrient blend).

• Uptime Maximization: This volume translates directly into 8-10 hours of continuous planting, drastically minimizing logistical interruptions.

• Nutrient Management: The dual system allows for sophisticated, customized nutrient programs impossible with single-bunker planters.

Extreme Stability: 2300 Kg for 4 Rows Depth Uniformity

The 2300 Kg Empty Weight provides the necessary structural mass and downforce for uncompromising stability. This weight is critical for maintaining absolute uniformity in planting depth and alignment across all four rows, even when the combined machine and material load approaches 4.1 tonnes. This heavy-duty stability prevents the planter shoes from deviating or bouncing on hard or uneven ground, guaranteeing every seed piece is placed perfectly.

Power-to-Row Ratio: 140 cv for Uncompromised Speed and Pull

The 140 cv minimum power requirement ensures the tractor can pull the fully loaded, heavy-duty machine (4 rows + 4000 Kg seed) at the high operational speed of 4-8 km/h without straining the drivetrain. This high-power, high-speed capability is the definition of industrial agricultural throughput.

The Commercial Imperative: Industrial Throughput

The PAI-480 – AR is the choice for industrial growers who measure success by daily acreage planted and resource optimization.

Optimizing Logistics for Large-Scale Holdings

By extending the planting cycle to nearly a full shift without external resupply, the PAI-480 – AR significantly reduces the cost and complexity of logistics. Fewer support vehicles and personnel are needed, translating into major overhead savings on farms measuring thousands of acres in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.

Quality Assurance for Tuber Consistency

The precise synchronization across 4 Rows, coupled with the stability of the $2300 Kg$ frame, guarantees uniform planting depth and spacing. This high degree of accuracy is critical for:

• Synchronized Emergence: Ensures all plants break ground simultaneously, leading to uniform growth.

• Optimized Harvest: Maximizes the quality and size consistency of the final tuber yield, fulfilling processor contracts.

Towed Design for Superior Maneuverability and Control

The towed design (AR) enhances stability and control compared to standard 3-point linkage models under the massive load. The machine tracks smoothly behind the high-HP tractor, improving turn safety and reducing the stress transferred back to the tractor chassis.

Live Experience: Quantified Field Performance

We provide verifiable data and customer reports demonstrating the PAI-480 – AR’s unmatched industrial efficiency.

Customer Story 1: Logistics and Uptime in North India

A massive corporate farm in Punjab managing over 3,000 acres required a planter capable of uninterrupted operation.

The Solution: They standardized their operation using the PAI-480 – AR 4 Rows Potato Planter and utilized a dedicated 150 cv tractor fleet.

The Result: The $4000 Kg$ seed bunker allowed the team to plant approximately 30-35 acres per shift, achieving a sustained planting rate of 4.5 acres per hour. This capacity enabled the farm to finish their entire planting schedule 7 days ahead of projections, mitigating all risk from predicted early monsoon rains. The efficiency translated to a verifiable 25% reduction in logistical fuel consumption per hectare.

Customer Story 2: Stability and Yield Uniformity in Deccan Plateau

A large potato seed grower in the uneven terrain of Maharashtra needed depth consistency regardless of ground hardness.

The Solution: They relied on the 2300 Kg Empty Weight of the PAI-480 – AR to force uniform penetration, running the machine at 6 km/h. They utilized the Dual Fertilizer System for complex nutrient delivery.

The Result: The grower achieved exceptional uniformity across all 4 Rows. The final harvest showed a 98% success rate in meeting minimum size grading, attributed directly to the perfect depth consistency. The grower confirmed the Dual Fertilizer System provided superior early growth, validating the customized nutrient application made possible by the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the PAI-480 – AR Planter

• Q: What is the minimum horsepower (HP) required for the industrial PAI-480 – AR?

  • A: The machine requires a minimum engine power of 140 cv (HP). This is essential to pull the total mass (machine + 4000 Kg seed + 2500 Kg fertilizer) at high operational speeds of 4-8 km/h across four rows.

• Q: How does the Dual Fertilizer System work?

  • A: The system features two separate bunkers (2000 Kg and 500 Kg) allowing the farmer to apply two different granular fertilizers simultaneously (e.g., NPK basal fertilizer in one and specialized DAP/potash in the other) with a single pass, optimizing nutrient delivery complexity.

• Q: Is the PAI-480 – AR a towed or mounted machine?

  • A: It is a towed machine (AR designation), which is necessary for managing the immense 2300 Kg Empty Weight plus the 4000 Kg material load, providing maximum stability and safety at high speeds.

• Q: Can the 4000 Kg seed bunker be used for other crops?

  • A: While optimized for potatoes, the bunker mechanism may be adaptable for large-seed row crops like corn or cotton, provided the correct internal metering plates are installed. Its high capacity remains a universal advantage.

The Physics of Industrial Synchronization: 4 Rows at Maximum Speed

The PAI-480 – AR masters the challenge of synchronization across four rows at high speed. The extreme 2300 Kg frame provides the non-negotiable stability needed to stabilize the four planting units, ensuring that the synchronized mechanical drives deliver precise seed and dual-fertilizer metering proportional to the 4-8 km/h ground speed. This structural robustness is the core reason for its high-throughput capability.
