About Department
The Department of Agricultural Machinery and Services is a part of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of South Bohemia. It offers several study programmes focusing on a machinery application in agriculture and transport. Subjects dealing with plant and animal production technology and machinery are crucial for the department. Other subjects are taught at the department too: agricultural machinery and services, and environmental aspects of agriculture. The department offers some technical subjects to students of the other study programmes too.
Employees of the department design and verify the BAT (Best Available Technique) technologies. They focus on climate protection, waste waters, processing of animal excrements (application of excrements on fields), feed industry, energetics, training courses, etc. All the technologies designed by the department employees are verified by semi-working and working tests at farms. For that reason, the top and fully equipped BAT centre has been opened there. The department also deals with computer simulations. They are used for designing machinery parts and studying physical-technological effects. Computers are able to find economical solutions and the best technological arrangements of devices (or technologies) before the devices are made. Such a modern trend allows us to save money in stage of a component design.
