Forigo Roter Italia was rewarded for Modula, an electrical sower that can sow through mulching films. Piercing elements receive the seeds from the distributor and sow them. They can be removed to increase/decrease quantities. The distributor automatically synchronises with the piercing elements and is made up of a rotor with inserts that can be replaced to adapt to various crops. All movements are electrical, so the sower does not depend on mechanical transmissions. The sowing modules are connected to a main frame and interact via a CAN-BUS protocol.
