HIGH SPEED ROW SX

THE SX SEEDING HEART

With the pressurised seeding heart the seeds are “shot” by an airstream of up to 70kph into the furrow. A smooth, flexible intermediate press wheel catches the delicate seeds. Any negative impact such as vibration on the way between release point and soil contact is eliminated due to the high air stream. The seeds reach their perfect position in the soil. Each sowing row is electrically powered by ISOBUS connection. An additional generator or other power sources are not required. The complete power supply and control is via ISOBUS.

By using air pressure , the seeds are taken directly to the seed disc. Whilst turning the seed disc, the seeds are allocated to each of the holes. The filling height limiter regulates the stream of the seeds, especially of small seeds.

The seed disc rotates to the point of release. The seed disc is directly fixed to the turning back - closed only by a bearing. The seeding heart is without sealing for minimised friction, wear and power requirement. At the point of release, the seed drops down, controlled by the seed disc into the seed tube supported by the high air stream. An infrared photo sensor monitors the perfect allocation of the seed disc. Defects or doubles as well as low level alerts of the seed hopper and seed counter are reported to the terminal.
