COMET AT AGRITECHNICA 2025

Comet could not miss the biennial appointment with Agritechnica, the world's most important trade fair in the agricultural sector dedicated to machinery and equipment.

An event of unparalleled size: 2,776 exhibitors and 1,467 journalists and influencers from 53 countries, as well as 473,687 professional visitors from all over the world registered for the 2023 edition.

So let's take a look at what's new at the Hannover Exhibition Centre from November 9 to 15, the most important trade fair of the year for our agricultural division.

DISCOVER COMET’S ENTIRE AGRICULTURE RANGE

Efficiency and sustainability

The topic chosen for the 2025 edition of Agritechnica is “Touch Smart Efficiency”. In fact, the German trade fair will bring together the main innovations on the market in terms of plant production technologies, with a particular focus on efficiency and sustainability.

The new products at the core of Comet’s exhibition area (Hall 09-Booth E04) will be focused on these pluses, starting with Campus, the new diagnostic system developed by Comet and included in the Digital Systems and IT category by the members of the Agritechnica Innovation Award for the best new products in the sector, as an innovative and noteworthy solution.

Comet’s new products at Agritechnica 2025: Campus diagnostics

One of the main new products from Comet to be launched at Agritechnica 2025 is Campus, the new patented computerized diagnostic system for diaphragm pumps.

Campus monitors pump operation in real time, collecting operating data using a series of sensors and then transmitting it to a server that processes and returns all the information needed to take informed and targeted action on the pump, thereby increasing its performance and avoiding possible breakdowns or downtime, with consequent reduction in costs for the end customer.

The system is capable of communicating through the following connections:

Radio frequency
Wi-Fi
GSM 4G
Isobus
Serial
Cloud
GPS for position tracking.

The control unit monitors pump operation by means of:

Oil level and temperature sensor. Checks the pump speed, reporting any anomalies in the rotational speed; records the pump operating time (hour meter)
Cavitation sensor. Samples the suction negative pressure; reports, in real time, any anomalies in the circuit, typically caused by clogged filters, air intake, etc.

This system is able to count the duration and number of events and allocate them to an accessible internal memory or, in one version, to the cloud or a remote server. An internal hour meter records operating times and signals the need for maintenance based on preset thresholds.

The battery level is monitored and reported to the user. Alarms, warnings, and available data can be sent to a smartphone in configurations provided with suitable devices.

Comet’s new products at Agritechnica 2025: VIPOWER

The second major innovation that Comet will display at Agritechnica 2025 is VIPOWER, a new 56V battery-powered electric motor, fully interchangeable with the combustion engines currently available on the market. Being zero-emission and very quiet, it can be used both in agriculture and purely industrial fields such as cleaning and sanitization.

VIPOWER is powered by long-lasting and safe grade-A LiFePO4 batteries, which produce more energy than comparable gasoline engines, offering significant savings in fuel, labour, and routine maintenance.

Equipped with soft start technology—which allows for a gradual increase in the desired RPM without straining or wearing out the engine body and system—and a universal mounting plate that makes it easy to replace a gasoline engine for a hassle-free upgrade.

By eliminating atmospheric emissions and reducing noise emissions, it ensures the flexibility to operate on indoor construction sites or extend working hours in areas subject to noise regulations.

Main applications:

Lawn care and pest control
Spraying
High-pressure cleaning and soft wash

Main features:

Same shaft size as gasoline engines, with a 3/4” drive shaft (SAE J609A), allowing for quick plug-and-play compatibility with existing pumps, pulleys, and other tools.
Unlimited motor speed adjustment from 600 RPM to 3600 RPM to improve tool performance.
Fully enclosed, fan-cooled motor (TEFC) with IP65 rating, protecting against moisture, dust, and other contaminants.
Centralized, removable control panel for easy access.

56V DC battery pack

With its durable plastic handle, installation on equipment is effortless.
Designed to be positioned sideways, flat or vertically, regardless of the space available on the equipment. Batteries can be stacked to save space.
Grade-A lithium phosphate (LiFePO4) battery cells, the safest and most durable on the market.
It easily and safely connects up to 16 batteries to the patented power connector for extended performance.
Sturdy aluminium finned casing, designed to improve heat dissipation, ensuring optimal performance and long life.
