Rape brushes
The rape brushes clean the cell discs in the ro-
tors for fine seeds.
Before sowing fine seeds the rape brushes must
be installed in the side cover and their function
must be checked.
Rape brushes assembled
¾
Check concentricity and fastening.
¾
Check condition and cleaning effect of
brushes.
¾
Install the side cover with the brushes into the
metering unit.
¾
The brushes must firmly rest against the cell
discs and should rotate with the rotor.
NOTE
The function and cleaning effect of the rape
brushes must be checked before starting sowing
and at regular intervals during work.
Sticking cell discs cause metering errors during
sowing. Less seed is placed.
The side cover with the rape brushes can be
removed even when the seed hopper is full.
Sticking cell discs can then also be cleaned in
assembled condition.
The rape brushes should be disassembled when
sowing normal seeds. The housing holes must
be closed.
Coarse seeds
For sowing coarse seed (maize, beans, peas,
etc.) the metering unit must be converted.
¾
A deflector must be installed instead of the
rape brushes.
This deflector prevents large seed grains from
getting caught between rotor and housing,
being damaged or blocking the rotor.
Deflector
¾
For very large grains an adapter frame may
be installed. For large grains this eases the
entry into the metering unit and prevents
grains from being damaged.

If necessary, mix talc or graphite powder with
the seed.
Large seed grains partly have poor trickling
characteristics and thus do not fill the roller
flutes completely.
