AGROSTROJ, with over 100 years of history, a new 16,000 m2-wide industrial coating line that is about to become the largest one in Europe, is the first Central European company to invest in the automation of its agricultural machinery powder coating processes with the installation of four pre-retouching robots designed by CMA Robotics.
Over one hundred years in business, a new 16,000 m2-wide industrial coating line that is about to become the largest one in Europe, and the record of having been the first Central European company to invest in the automation of its agricultural machinery powder coating processes with the installation of four Italian-made pre-retouching robots. These are just some of the characteristics of AGROSTROJ Pelhřimov, a large-sized Czech company founded in 1896 that currently boasts over 1,300 employees and a turnover of 246 million Euros (2018 data), manufacturing drum and disc mowers, flail mowers, grass cutters, and disc spreaders for itself as well as for other important global brands.
Project complexity, increasingly stringent quality requirements, and the aim of expanding its production volumes were the reasons behind its project of extensive department modernisation and purchase of cutting-edge technologies for all its production phases, including coating. The primary criterion for these investments was environmental and production sustainability, closely linked to energy efficiency and process automation.
This was also the case for one of AGROSTROJ's most recent investments, dating back to the end of 2016, for the automation of pre-painting touch-up operations, which are crucial to guarantee coating quality in terms of both coverage and penetration, through self-learning robots provided by the Italian firm CMA Robotics. In fact, AGROSTROJ's positive experience with coating robotisation has quickly become a benchmark for the whole Central European ACE sector.
