The AEROSEM metering system is designed for the highest possible precision and ensures that exactly the right flow rate of any given seed type is used, even in the most difficult operating conditions.
An outlet flap provides an additional level of fine adjustment depending on the size of the seed.
The metering wheel motor has a wide speed range, so that no gears have to be preselected and site-specific sowing is no problem.
A high volume of air and low air velocity protect the seed and any dressing against damage. Special distributor head inserts allow sowing in different row widths: this protects the seed against cracking and ensures reliable germination. The interaction of the precision metering system and the large distributor head results in uniform, highly precise and flexible seed placement. This combination ensures maximum effectiveness of seed and dressing.
The seed is fed uniformly to the distributor in an air stream that passes up the high riser tube. The large diameter of the distributor head guarantees precise lateral distribution of the seed and is optimised in the factory.
The calibration system is fitted with a practical catchment tray that is easy to use and saves time.
With the mechanical metering system, calibration is carried out using a hand crank. In addition, a freewheel is provided in the driveline and the gearbox revolutions are displayed on the control terminal.
Calibration with the electric metering system is carried out either at the press of a button directly on the machine or by pressing a key on the control terminal.
Practical catchment tray, which is always on-board.
The calibration flap is monitored by a sensor, so that no operator errors can occur during calibration or during operation.
The optional seed flow sensors display constant and reliable feedback on the current seed flow at the control terminal.
One sensor per coulter pipe is located directly behind the IDS distributor head, to ensures reliable application. The sensitivity of the sensor can be set in three stages depending on the seed. If flow stops then the relevant coulter pipe number is displayed on the control terminal. Furthermore, red and green LEDs indicate the status directly on the sensors.
