Proven and precise seed metering with the multi-metering system is the signature feature of VITASEM seed drills. Two completely independent metering units are combined in the one seed housing. All the metering wheels are located on the same metering shaft.
Using the 2-slide solution, the individual metering slides can be pushed in or pulled out to quickly switch from fine to normal seed, for example from oil seed rape to cereals. This saves time and increases the flexibility of your machine.
As an option, reverse metering for poppy seed or oil seed rape, for example, is possible with the standard metering wheel. To achieve better seed separation, the rotation direction of the sowing shaft is changed. The seed is picked up in cups and delivered to the intake funnel.
When tramline switching is engaged, up to 5 rows per tramline can be worked in comfort from the terminal. The tramline motor engages the metering shaft via adjustable catch hooks and stops the selected metering wheels by means of a wrap spring clutch.
The optional tramline expansion for two rows allows fast switching between two different tramline widths via the catch hooks.
The sowing shaft is divided through the middle by a mechanical coupling. This makes manual half rail switching possible for starting with half the machine width for asymmetrical tramlines.
