The smoke Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH (proper spelling: SMOKE ) is a German agricultural machinery manufacturer of fertilizer spreaders, seeders and winter service spreaders headquartered in Sinzheim , Baden-Wurttemberg .

history

The Rauch agricultural machinery factory was founded in 1921 as a factory for agricultural machinery by the Rauch brothers . The first Rauch fertilizer spreader was developed in 1936 , in 1983 the company delivered the first pneumatic fertilizer spreader and in 1984 Rauch brought the first electronically controlled fertilizer metering onto the market. Since the move to a newly designed factory at Baden-Airpark in September 2009, all Rauch production areas have been under one roof. In 2011, the Swiss group Bucher Industries acquired a minority stake of 24 percent in the Rauch agricultural machinery factory. Around two thirds of production is exported.

Rauch is run as a family company in the fourth and fifth generations. The company supports the promotion of young talent by the Max-Eyth-Gesellschaft Agrartechnik in the VDI .

Product range and development

Rauch produces fertilizer spreaders (disc spreaders and pneumatic precision spreaders), winter service spreaders and seed drills . Another mainstay was the construction of fruit presses and grape processing machines until 1995 .

The Rauch agricultural machinery factory is the owner of more than one hundred patents. The development and construction department has been using its own test hall to create spreading tables since 1985.

From 2004 to 2007 the Rauch agricultural machinery factory participated in the research project WIN - knowledge management in information networks - funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology . Since 2009 Rauch has been a full member of the ISOBUS Competence Center for the technical development and international introduction of the ISOBUS data transmission system for agricultural engineering and a project partner in the IKT 2020 research program - Research for Innovation , which is coordinated by the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence in Kaiserslautern.
