• DRIMAC ZIP.02 — Suitable for companies working with multiple planting layouts; low weight enables timely field intervention.
• DRIMAC ZIP.03 — Versatile for small to medium farms with varied crops and layouts; three lightweight modules reduce processing times to approximately 3.5 hours/ha.
• DRIMAC ZIP.04 — Four-module machine managing multiple planting patterns; frame with movable elements reaches up to 3 m width.
• DRIMAC ZIP.05 — Five modules recommended for very large crops; best performance when adapted to the transplanter layout.
• DRIMAC ZIP.06 — Six independent modules for large-area operations; covers extensive surfaces in relatively short times.
