AFT land reclamation machinery

AFT, a UK-based company, is a renowned developer of drainage technology and a manufacturer of efficient excavation machinery. Land reclamation significantly impacts soil productivity, meaning the potential of new varieties created by plant breeders can only be realised by optimising soil moisture, which can be achieved with AFT trench drain excavators (reclamation machinery). The range of mounted trench excavators and plastic drainage pipe laying machines consists of two types of units: those with scraper chain and scraper rotor working equipment.

The most efficient and versatile machines for agriculture are trailed trenching machines with bucket chain digging devices. AFT manufactures two machines of this type:

  • The AFT 100 model, which is adapted for large-scale drainage work. It is aggregated with tractors with a power capacity of 48-105 kW/65-140 HP.
  • AFT 45 model, designed for low-power (15-34 kW/20-45 HP) tractors and small, special-purpose areas

Mounted narrow trench drain paver AFT 100:

  • The ideal longitudinal trencher for fast and efficient field drainage. It is adapted for the installation of complex drainage systems.
  • Trenches of 125 to 400 mm wide can be dug and drainage laid simultaneously.
  • The depth of the lake is up to 1.6 m
  • Ensures fast, accurate, and efficient installation of drainage pipes. Compared to a conventional excavator, work with this machine is up to 10 times faster, resulting in significant time savings. Using a mounted, tractor-towed unit leads to lower fuel consumption.
  • Two augers are provided on each side of the trench for the replacement of excavated soil.
  • It can be ordered with a side-mounted belt conveyor, if the excavated soil is to be deposited not on both sides of the trench, but loaded into a trailer.
  • A semi-automatic or fully automatic laser slope control system is used to achieve the required drainage depth and gradient for the project.
  • The device is convenient to use for digging trenches of various profiles: for laying water pipes, gas pipes, cables, and other utilities.

AFT 45 compact in-line trenching machine:

  • Adapted for special-purpose areas: car parks, golf courses, etc. It is perfectly suited not only for drainage but also for the installation of irrigation systems.
  • Trenches can be dug from 60 to 200 mm wide to a depth of up to 1.2 m.
  • The excavated soil can be placed on both sides of the trench or, using a special conveyor, loaded into a trailer.
  • Trench depth and slope are adjusted semi-automatically or fully automatically with a laser slope control system

In the range of trenchers with chain rotor attachments, there are three basic models, differing in key technological parameters:

  • trench width (from 25 to 155 mm)
  • Common yarrow (up to 0.75 m)
  • Sparta (2000 m/min)

These models also offer automatic laser slope adjustment.
