NAS of Belarus invites to presentation of first domestic complex of specialized machines for flax harvesting mechanization

On 29 August 2019, at 11:00 a.m., a presentation of the first domestic complex of specialized machines for flax harvesting mechanization will be held on the basis of the Shklov Flax Factory (Mogilev region, a field of the Shklov Flax Factory near the villages of Popovka and Trosno).

During the demonstration of the full flax harvesting cycle, four necessary machines developed by scientists of the NASB Scientific and Practical Center for Mechanization of Agriculture will be involved. The machines were produced at some Belarusian enterprises with a localization level of about 80-90%. The estimated financial savings when using the domestic technological complex of flax harvesting machines for the missing volume from the technological need is about 69,7 million rubles, or $ 33,890,900.

According to Sergey Loiko, Head of the Laboratory for Mechanization of Flax Cultivation and Harvesting of the NASB Scientific and Practical Center for Agricultural Mechanization, “the chain of technological operations for flax harvesting will be completely closed by our new developments.”

Demonstration Venue: a field of the Shklov Flax Factory near the villages of Popovka and Trosno. For more information, please contact the following persons.
