Innovating to discover increasingly efficient solutions for water management is a fundamental part of Caprari‘s core business. Thanks to its internal research and development division and production capabilities, the Modena-based industrial group is able to offer highly efficient and reliable products. Each new solution is designed to meet specific market demand in the most effective and technologically advanced way. With this objective in mind, Caprari internally develops exclusive patents aimed at improving the performance of its products.

Starting from the design stage, the company pays the utmost attention to all the measures that can improve the life of the product and has patented several devices like Defender, Easy Check, Sand-Out System, Smart-Fix System, ConnectoFlex, HT Coupling, and HT-High Trust Bearing that protect the pump and extend the product life cycle, reducing its environmental impact and overall costs for the end-user.

The MAC series Submersible Motors have significantly increased their performance thanks to the innovative HT-High Trust bearing, patented exclusively by Caprari (Caprari International Patent), with margins of tolerance that make the device extremely reliable in all conditions of use.  Today the HT-High Thrust bearing is present in MAC6 Submersible Motors as well as in the MAC8 and MAC10 larger-sized motors, both in cast iron and stainless steel version.

This special patent allows obtaining a more durable product and improved axial load resistance: Its performance provides the Motor with a structural oversizing with respect to the actual thrust that the wet end generates, even during operation transients. To achieve this result, the cage supports, and skids have been completely redesigned on new concepts. With the same dimensions, the HT thrust bearing withstands at least three times the load of a traditional Mitchell bearing.

Thanks to its exclusive and diversified know-how, Caprari provides complete solutions for every major water requirement, including collection from deep wells, wastewater and drain water lifting, water supply, and distribution for residential, industrial, and agricultural purposes and various water treatment applications. Innovation and reliability of exclusive products and services dedicated to the customer: these are the strategic assets that have always distinguished Caprari.

Maintaining the reliability of your machine over time is vital in order to allow you to carry out your work to the required standard, but it is not always easy to identify which lubricant corresponds to your specific needs. That’s why McCormick has created a new system that will make this step swifter and easier.

Because the right lubricant ensures reliability and efficiency

The right lubricant for every part of your tractor is the one produced according to precise technical specifications so, relying on those who designed and built it, will help you protect it better than anyone else.

This is because every lubricant is the result of our extensive product research and tests on specific models that can help you keep it in excellent conditions, avoiding possible malfunctions due to prolonged and demanding use that can cause:

• the friction of the mechanical parts
• overheating of components
• the build-up of residues that corrode the gears.

Our original lubricants have been created starting from raw materials consisting of the latest generation synthetic bases with high technological value additives.

The use of state-of-the-art lubricants guarantees a number of advantages such as:

• better response to stress even when the vehicle is used in more demanding working conditions
• better performance at lower operating costs.
• increased environmental awareness

The power source concept would be the same size as an internal combustion engine, with a modular architecture that allows easy assembly, vehicle integration, servicing, and full scalability.

Multi-application: endless possibilities

Thanks to its wide range of options, the Cursor X is designed to supply energy for traction, auxiliary systems, implements, and PTOs to any kind of industrial vehicle or machine – from delivery vans to buses, from small dozers to crawler excavators, from specialty tractors to combines.

Mindful: introducing a new era

The power source concept has been designed to have self-learning capability and to provide a significant amount of information for further hardware and software design developments. It could be equipped with processors and sensors that recognize anomalies, analyze wear and tear and predict maintenance needs.

“We take enormous pride in receiving the 2020 Good Design Award. Designing a concept engine is really something special. It is completely reimagining the engine as we know it. Creating a clean robotic appearance that reflects the technology within. A wireless approach inspired by connectivity and how it can be applied to engine management. Beautiful yet functional. The award is a testament to the conceptual work done and to our ‘Leonardesque’ commitment to realizing innovative, ideas to illuminate our future. With Cursor X we can tune the powertrain solution to achieve a unique set-up for each mission, each vehicle, each machine. Thanks to its modular approach, the Cursor X is ready to become the protagonist in every mission, inspiring the next era.”

says David Wilkie, Head of the CNH Industrial Design Center.

“We are all more than happy that the 2020 Good Design Award jury recognized our unique engine concept ‘designed for Planet Earth’”, stated Egle Panzella, Brand Equity, Sustainability, and Heritage manager of FPT Industrial. “In the future, we can imagine the engine be part of the external body of the vehicle and it should be beautiful, not only performing. Cursor X is a new powertrain unit, capable of using any available and above all sustainable energy source. Cursor X can run on full Battery Electric.

From a single 2.875-in API box x box body, contractors can interchange wing sets for cutting diameters of 8 in (20 cm), 10 in (30 cm), and 12 in (30 cm). With the ability to change sizes, users can maximize their investment in a single body.

According to Jason Zylstra, Vermeer lifecycle product manager, having replaceable wings can also help maximize efficiency in the field.

“These wings are meant to be replaceable. In the event of a damaged wing, a single replacement wing can be installed on the job site. If a standard hole opener gets damaged, the entire tool is out of commission until it’s repaired.”

he explained.

Vermeer has sourced premium PDC inserts that, in an independent study, showed significantly better wear characteristics than the inserts commonly found in PDC pilot bits.

“Each wing is designed with a row of carbide buttons strategically placed to help protect the stability of the PDC inserts,”

explained Zylstra. The PDC insert pitch has been industry research-informed to optimize the balance rate of penetration and impact resistance. In the event of needing pushback during reaming, rotary backout cutters have been welded to the backside of each wing.
