Pressure gauges in agriculture

In the agricultural sector, EMVO Techniek's pressure gauges are utilized in various systems to monitor and assist in regulating pressure. These systems include climate control systems, as well as fertilization, irrigation, and hydraulic systems. For every application, you can find the right pressure gauge with us; we are also happy to provide advice. So, if you have any doubts, feel free to contact us.

What are pressure gauges used for in agriculture?

There are countless applications for pressure gauges in the agricultural sector. We'd like to highlight a few to give you a good understanding of the importance of pressure gauges:

• Irrigation systems: Pressure gauges are used in irrigation systems to measure the pressure of irrigation water. By regulating the pressure effectively, gardeners and farmers can ensure that irrigation water is evenly distributed across the land, which is essential for optimal crop growth.
• Hydraulic systems: Various agricultural machines and implements use hydraulic systems to operate different functions, such as lifting, tilting, and turning. Pressure gauges are used to measure and adjust hydraulic pressure to meet required specifications.
• Compressors and air systems: Farms use compressors and air systems for various applications, such as powering pneumatic tools and providing compressed air for storage. Pressure gauges are used to measure and regulate the pressure in these systems.
• Climate control: Greenhouses and other controlled environments often use climate control systems. Pressure gauges are used to measure the pressure in systems that control temperature, humidity, and ventilation to maintain optimal growth conditions for crops.
• Fertilization systems: Precision farming requires precise application of fertilizers in the right places and in the right quantities. Fertilization systems, aided by pressure gauges, ensure that pressure is measured and adjusted for even distribution of fertilizers.
• Hydroponics: In hydroponic systems, where crops grow in a nutrient solution instead of soil, pressure gauges are used to measure and regulate the pressure in the irrigation system and nutrient reservoir.

Pressure gauges in tractors

We would like to mention pressure gauges used in tractors specifically. These powerful machines are indispensable on every farm due to their versatility. All parts of the tractor must function properly, and pressure gauges ensure that the pressure in various components of the tractor is controlled. This includes hydraulic systems for operating attachments and complements, as well as monitoring engine oil pressure, tire pressure, the air intake system, and the cooling system.

More about hydraulic systems in agriculture

We mentioned that hydraulic systems are extensively used in the agricultural sector. Som examples of such systems include:

• Tractor lift system: This allows tractors to lift and lower various agricultural implements, such as plows, seeders, and mowers. A hydraulic lift system provides precise control over the position of the implements.
• Loaders and excavators: Front or rear loaders can be attached to tractors, and these are also powered by hydraulic systems. They can be used for moving materials, loading feed, and various other tasks on the farm.
• Hydraulic brakes: Some agricultural machines, like heavy tractors and harvesters (e.g., corn choppers), use hydraulic brake systems. This provides reliable braking power, and such a system can easily integrate into the overall hydraulic system of the machine.
• Hydraulic couplings: Agricultural implements, such as seeders and plows, may use hydraulic couplings to control different parts of the implement. This allows for adjusting or engaging specific functions of the implement during fieldwork.
• Raking and tedding: Machines like hay tedders and rakes often use hydraulic systems to control the rotation and movement of the implements. This improves efficiency in collecting and tedding hay.
