System for Generating Air Pressure or Vacuum for Pneumatic Seed Meters
An installation for pneumatic seeders with a plurality of electric motor suction (or motor compressor) units, each of which operates connected to a pneumatic dosing device, allows the elimination of the hydraulic motor and circuits, achieving a drastic reduction of pneumatic planters’ production costs and fuel consumption.
Key Benefits
The benefits of the pneumatic seed meters, against the mechanical ones, are well known.
But there are - up nowadays - a lot of disadvantages, such as:
- More power needed by the tractor
- Significant difference in the fuel consumption
- Increased total cost of the equipment
- Higher maintenance cost the hydraulic circuit and parts
With this innovation all the drawbaks are overcome and we achieve:
- A drastic reduction of machinery production costs by the elimination of a lot of complex parts, such as: hydraulic motor and pump, oil heat interchanger, tank, filter, hydraulic circuits, etc
- Reduction of maintenance time and costs
- Easier equipment’s transport
- Important reduction in the consumption of fuel
- Less power needed from the tractor
