The central, totally enclosed cell wheel of the
metering device accurately measures the
required volume of seed discharges it into the
venturi cone.
Here the seed is mixed with the air stream and then
conveyed through the diffuser tube in the
distributor.
From the distribution head the seed is
conveyed, after the random principle, through
the seed delivery hoses to the coulters.
Seed rates from 2 - 380kg/ha
(cereals, peas, beans, rape, grass ...)
Infinite adjustment of the
seed rate by means of
calibration screw and scale
setting, without any need for
tools
Normal seeds: cereals, peas,
beans etc.
Fine seeds: rape, mustard,
grass etc.
The Metering Device
Enclosed metering
cell wheel
•
Any desired seed rate from 2 - 380 kg/ha
(cereals, peas, beans, rape, grass etc.) can be
metered.
•
Only 1 metering device is required for up to 40
coulters.
•
Differences in metering accuracy are +/- 1% for
diagonal and length wise inclination (F.A.T. CH
(University of Switzerland)).
•
Due to the conical hopper design sowing is
possible up to residual quantities of only 500 g.
•
The adjustment from normal seed to fine seed
(e.g. rape) is easily done without any need for
tools (no special insert for beans necessary).
Sealed by the
top brush
A rape brush for fine
seeds constantly cleans
the cells when the fine
seed fingers are engaged Sealed by
rubber lip
Retention of the dressing
is ensured by the use of a
very short agitator shaft
Metering Device and Distribution System
Sealed by
rubber lip
Normal Seeding
Micro metering
Standard and Combination Tramline Shut Off Valves
• Seed return to the hopper:
• Combi Valves allow the seed from the closed
track during tramlining to be returned to the seed
hopper. Even when the hopper is full.
• Edge row effect:
• The seed from the blocked valve is distributed to
the adjacent rows
Combi-valves (return to tank)
It is possible to combine both types of valve to
achieve edge row effect and seed return.
Combi-Valves (line to coulter)
* Not availbale for DF
Manual half-width shut-off
•
Seeding on half working width needed
for relevant tramline rhythms
•
By:
• Shut down insert of half-width
shut-off system
• Adjustment to micro metering
•
No opening of the distributor, no change
of the distribution head
•
Easy to retrofit

CX Disc Coulter
• Convex Steel Disc
• Forms a narrow and consolidated furrow
• Enables higher working speed by
narrow profile
• Achieves good depth control by
expanded profile
• Flexible Plastic Disc
• Keeps the furrow open for an exact
seed placement
• Cleans the steel disc in the contacted zone
• Prevents sticking and blocking of the discs
On the basis of these specific features, the CXDisc coulters achieve exact seed placing under
both wet and dry mulch seeding conditions.
