Monotec

Our business started 18 years ago with South African farmers seeking a higher level of mechanisation. Their unique requirements were, and still are, the key ingredient in developing solutions and sourcing components from all over the world that we combine into purpose built machinery to meet the farmers’ needs today and in the future.

Owner and Managing Director, Arend Langer, comes from a farming background in Germany and has grown the company into a young, dynamic and innovative team of over 50 staff members.

We welcome our customers to visit us at our new premises, recently built into green surroundings in Joostenberg Vlakte, Cape Town.

In order to accommodate the constantly growing need for larger planters and bigger frames we are proud to have been able to invest in an extension of our factory building. Our current 2nd building of 1500 square meters will soon be extended with another 880 square meter floor space. The investment includes an overhead crane as well as a CNC machining centre with 1.5m X-axis travel.

The Monotec subsoiler is an ideal implement for subsoiling, pasture renovation and re-seeding. Built to farmer specification with tines working up to 350mm deep. Tines are protected by a mechanical auto-reset system. The spring loaded disc coulters open the turf without inversion and the spiked roller consolidates the aerated turf and controls the working depth. An optional box drill can be mounted for simultaneous re-seeding, in which case the row of spring tines agitates the soil to improve germination.
