(NEXAT)One for all - all for one NEXAT

NEXAT’s holistic crop production system convinces the
unbiased expert commission of the German Agricultural
Society at the Innovation Awards for Agritechnica 2022.
Rieste - There is great joy among those responsible for the companies NEXAT GmbH
and Kalverkamp Innovation GmbH in Niedersachsenpark near Rieste. The gold award
at this year’s DLG Innovation Awards marks the culmination of years of challenging
development work by the two companies.
The focus of the award is the development of a globally novel, holistic crop production
system based on an electrically driven wide-span interchangeable carrier vehicle. This
“all-in-one system tractor” handles all work steps, from soil cultivation to sowing,
crop protection and harvesting. For this purpose, the machine technology required in
each case can be installed modularly in the system tractor via a quick-change system;
additional, separate undercarriages are no longer required. Due to the always constant
working width (6-24 m), the new crop production system ensures the full use of
Controlled Traffic Farming (CTF) and is prepared for full autonomization.
Due to the system, 95 % of the total arable area is never overrun again with NEXAT. As
a result, the maximum yield potential unfolds while maximum soil and environmental
protection is possible. Particularly noteworthy is the possibility of sustainable soil
improvement through continuous humus build-up, significant CO2savings (carbon
farming), and the sustainable protection of valuable arable land from erosion by wind
and water.
From the very beginning the issue of sustainability played the central role in the
development, both in economic and ecological terms. “Minimizing the number of
machines required through the modular concept enables a reduction in acquisition
costs as well as energy savings potential of 20-40% compared to conventional
machines,” explains Managing Director Felix Kalverkamp. “On the yield side, increases
of 10-20% are possible, which can mean an increase in profitability of 20-50%. In
addition, there are significant savings in terms of time and manpower,” Kalverkamp
continues. To maximize the ecological aspect, the electric drive of the wide span swap
body vehicle is already prepared for operation by fuel cell with green hydrogen. “This
will be a decisive step towards complete climate neutrality,” says Felix Kalverkamp.
The NEXAT system will have to assert itself against proven technology that has been
tried and tested for years, but NEXAT sees itself well positioned here as well. “The fact
that NEXAT is not just some vision is demonstrated by the fact that the system has already been successfully used in crop production under real conditions for three years
and has been put through its paces by selected farmers,” adds Managing Director
Klemens Kalverkamp.
The company NEXAT was founded in 2017 by Kalverkamp Innovation GmbH and is
exclusively dedicated to the development, production and distribution of the new
plant production process. In doing so, the young company draws on Kalverkamp’s
more than 50 years of development and consulting expertise, which is expressed
in numerous product developments for leading international agricultural machinery
manufacturers. At the world’s leading trade fair for agricultural technology,
Agritechnica, the NEXAT system will be presented from 27.02. to 05.03.2022 to the
international trade audience for the first time
