New Product Signals More Efficiency in Agriculture

04-08-10

ODEBOLT, IA - Last year, Lundell Plastics introduced their FreeFlo Telescoping Tubes: flexible seed distribution tools which have helped farmers shave hours off of the planting season. Now Lundell is increasing productivity again with the FreeFlo Wireless Remote. The product is a breakthrough in planting efficiency because it makes the distribution of seed between equipment almost seamless. In combination with Lundell's complete line of planting products, crop producers are able to load planter boxes in a fraction of time it previously required to complete the same job, while spilling lesser amounts of valuable seed.

The remote snaps into place in the new FreeFlo Telescoping Tubes' ergonomic handle, giving crop producers a comfortable way to control the flow of seed at their fingertips. This allows movement from container to container without interruptions and without the hassle of snagging electrical wires. The FreeFlo Wireless Remote is waterproof and wheatherproof to withstand the elements. Another helpful feature of the remote is that it can be detached from the handle so the auger or conveyor can be controlled remotely during maintenance such as greasing, or in bulk filling applications which may take a while to complete. The FreeFlo remote is versatile, designed to work with various 12v applications (up to 5 amps) such as actuators, solenoid valves, and throttle control motors. The FreeFlo remote is available direct from Lundell Plastics at a price of $199 US. This is just one of a few new products Lundell has introduced for 2010. The company is perhaps best known for pioneering plastic in the auger market, replacing traditional steel flighting with hi-tech poly flighting which is very durable and handles seed more gently. From their headquarters in Odebolt, Iowa they manufacture and ship products internationally.
