Husky Corporation Introduces Newly Designed StreamShaper
Husky Corporation has unveiled the latest innovation in fueling technology with its newly designed StreamShaper for ultra high-flow applications. Building on the success of its previous technology, which minimized early shutoffs and splash-back spills for standard nozzles, Husky’s updated StreamShaper now enhances refueling experiences for vehicles requiring flow rates of 25 gallons per minute or more.
In demanding fueling scenarios such as heavy-duty commercial trucks, industrial machinery, agriculture equipment and high-capacity fuel tanks, delays from premature shutoffs, splash-backs or spills can impact productivity and cause customer frustration. The StreamShaper solves these issues by utilizing laminar flow technology to create a smooth, compact fuel flow, minimizing splash-backs and allowing for a faster, uninterrupted fueling process.
“Our newly designed StreamShaper is tailored to meet the unique needs of today’s high-capacity vehicles across various sectors,” says Paul Nilsen, Husky Corporation technical service engineer. “This technology applies laminar flow principles to ensure a consistent, direct fuel flow. By eliminating turbulence and crosscurrents in the fuel line, it reduces early shutoffs and splash-back incidents, ultimately enhancing customer satisfaction.”
For more information about Husky’s new StreamShaper technology and its full range of fueling solutions, contact a customer service representative at 800-325-3558, or visit husky.com.
AGCO Announces NexTECH Program at South Georgia Technical College
AGCO Corporation, a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, recently announced South Georgia Technical College will offer its NexTECH program to equip technicians with the skills needed to service its award-winning agriculture machinery, including those from Fendt and Massey Ferguson. The program at SGTC’s Americus, Georgia, is slated to start in January 2025.
The demand for skilled ag technicians remains high, and today’s equipment requires focused programs that specialize in precision ag instruction. The NexTECH program integrates AGCO-specific content into schools’ existing diesel technology curriculum, providing students with hands-on training for the company’s advanced machinery. The program mirrors training used by AGCO’s North American Aftersales teams and provides participating schools with AGCO training aids, powertrain components and critical technical resources.
NexTECH is geared toward traditional students who have a passion for diesel technology and STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) studies, as well as problem solving and work-based learning. Interested students are encouraged to contact SGTC to determine if dealerships are providing tuition benefits for work commitments.
“Agriculture increasingly requires machinery that leverages leading-edge technologies,” says Ash Alt, aftersales training manager for AGCO North America. “Our farmers and dealers need technicians skilled at maintaining the complex equipment they use, and AGCO’s NexTECH program is designed to fill the pipeline with motivated and highly trained technicians to keep them running. We’re very happy that South Georgia Technical College is offering our curriculum, and their students will be rewarded with exciting opportunities in a mission-critical field.”
