Manufacturers and equipment of agricultural engineering
Of great importance in the development of agriculture is the introduction of new modern technologies and techniques. For this answers the specialist - agro-engineer.
What is the difference between this profession and what knowledge is necessary to become an expert in this field?
What is agro-engineering?
Agroengineering is a direction of agriculture, which is engaged in the design and improvement of production processes in the agro-industrial sector.
Objects of agro-engineering perform:
- machinery used for the creation and transportation of agricultural products;
- new technologies and means of agro-industrial complex;
- methods of service and diagnostics of agricultural machinery and equipment;
- equipment, which helps to provide electricity, water supply and gas supply to all agricultural processes;
- complexes for utilization of agricultural wastes.
Agroengineering covers a wide range of processes, tasks and objects aimed at the development of agriculture.
Technical systems, equipment and technologies in agro-engineering
During the training on the profile "Technical systems in agribusiness" students master automation, hydraulics, drawing geometry, thermal engineering, engineering physics, methods of performing sketches and drawings, etc.
All this is necessary for further work in the field of creation of new technological installations and equipment in the agro-industrial sector.
Specialists who have passed the training on the profile "Electrical equipment and electrical technology in the agro-industrial complex" should have the following skills:
- quality maintenance of used machinery and equipment;
- installation and support of them in the working condition of the devices, including those working directly in contact with biological objects.
Specialists are engaged in the introduction of technologies that allow you to automate various production processes in agriculture.
Training in agro-engineering specialties
In order to get the specialization of an agricultural engineer, it is necessary to get a higher education profile.
Among the universities of our country, conducting training in the field of agricultural engineering, you can mark such as:
- Samarskaya State Agricultural Academy;
- Russian State Agrarian University;
- Agrarian University in Stavropol;
- Tomsk Polytechnic National Research University;
- Agrarian State University in Bryansk;
- Smolenskaya GSA.
These are just some of the educational institutions where you can get the necessary knowledge in agro-engineering.
Directions, profiles of agricultural engineering
There are more than 90 universities in our country, where you can get specialization in the field of agro-engineering in such profiles as:
- Technosystems in APC;
- electrical equipment and technology;
- cars and technical systems;
- automobile;
- transportation and storage of agricultural products;
- service and maintenance of equipment used in the APC.
Knowledge and skills acquired in the process of training will help to become a qualified specialist in the field of agricultural engineering.
Who and where will go to work after receiving specialization
As a rule, agro-engineers do not relate to cabinet workers, but work in agricultural production or agro-industrial complex:
- Head of Electricity;
- electrical engineer;
- chief power engineer;
- Deputy Head of Electricity;
- master of installation, adjustment and operation of electrical equipment and automation.
The work of an agricultural engineer requires constant movement to keep under the control of other employees and vehicles.
One more direction - work in design bureaus. The activity of the Bureau is involved in the design and development of new models of machinery or equipment for agriculture.
Besides, agro-engineers are required in wholesale and retail trade of motor tractors, agricultural and processing machinery.
Manufacturers and suppliers of agro-engineering equipment
In Russia, there are many enterprises and companies that specialize in the production and supply of equipment and machinery needed for agribusiness.
Among the most popular you can name such:
- CJSC "Technex". The enterprise produces equipment, which is used for the work of feed and small industries. With its help occurs crushing, dosing, mixing of product packaging in bulk.
- "Potomac". This company is the official representative of 3 American companies - manufacturers of equipment for the pouring of products in liquid form, as well as ensuring the process of labeling and marking of finished products.
- Lepta LLC. The company specializes in the production and supply of equipment for measuring grain moisture. The equipment has all the necessary certificates of compliance. The company provides deliveries not only in Russia, but also in Kazakhstan and Belarus.
These and other enterprises direct their activities to the development of agro-industrial complex of our country.
