Portable digital soil compactor GPS, USB, Bluetooth: PenetroLOG | Falker

The new portable digital soil compactometer penetroLOG (Ref. PLG2040) is an ideal tool for determining the compaction of agricultural soil.

Very complete: equipped as standard with GPS, USB, BlueTooth, robust with reinforced connectors, protected against dust with easy-to-read graphic screen, it is able to generate the compaction profile up to 60 cm deep, allowing to evaluate compaction in the deeper layers.

Delivered ready to use with: penetroLOG, type 2 cone, reflective base, calibration template, USV-A and USB-C cable, carrying case with foam support, carrying handle.

The PentroLOG makes it possible to respond to the 3 dimensions of compaction:

• Location of areas of the field that suffer from compaction and those that do not.
• Takes into account that the depth for the structure of plants and soil a layer compacted at 20 cm or 35 cm is very different
• Intensity measurement of the degree of soil compaction

Advantages :

• Portable and lightweight
• Easy to use interface
• Measure at any stage of crop development
• Accurate result with cone index values ​​for each centimeter of measurement
• Precise diagnosis of where and how deep is the soil compaction
• Allows you to set up actions to correct the soil profile with precision
• Allows you to save costs
• Has a specific web application for viewing and analyzing collected data

Typical applications:

• Determination of soil compaction on agricultural land
• Ideal tool for farmers, consultants, research institutes, schools and universities
