Calibration is performed mechanically as standard by turning a calibration handle.
The number of rotations continues to be counted on the terminal. When the final five rotations are reached, an acoustic signal sounds to alert the operator that calibration is about to end.
This allows you to keep track of everything and avoid calibration errors.
Available as an option, an electric calibration system can also be installed on seed drills with mechanical metering. The motor saves you from laboriously cranking by hand and runs at a constant speed. This reduces calibration errors and improves accuracy.
The same level of operating convenience is achieved as with electric metering.
At the start of calibration, the two calibration trays are swivelled in and out by manually operating a lever.
A major advantage of the VITASEM seed drills is the clear view into the calibration trays. This means that you can see the metering rate of each row and take immediate action if a metering unit is set incorrectly.
To make your work as easy as possible, access to the calibration trays has been improved. On the one hand, they are easy to remove at the side.
On the other, they can also be taken out from the loading platform. This increases flexibility during the calibration process.
The calibration bag is simply clipped into the seed hopper with the scales that are available as an option. This makes it easy to see the weight that has been calibrated and the seed can then be quickly poured into the hopper.
Short steps when feeding in the seed make calibration faster and easier.
On the right-hand side of the machine there is a spacious storage compartment where the scales, calibration bag and all important equipment can be safely stowed.
