5.1 COMPONENT NOMENCLATURE
AND LOCATION
The Meridian 840/1050/1260 Seed Express models
are designed as bulk seed transfer units to transfer
large amounts of seed into a storage bin or other
equipment.
Bulk seed is loaded into the seed tender
compartments. Underbin conveyor (6) then
transfers the seed from the compartments to
incline conveyor (20), which transfers the seed
to the receiving bin, seed box, or another seed
tender. The underbin conveyor can also be used
alone to unload seed straight out the back of the
tender. Slide gates on the compartments control
the fl ow of seed into the underbin conveyor. The
compartments are numbered starting with #1 at
the back of the tender and continuing to the front.
The 840 model has four compartments, the 1050
has fi ve, and the 1260 has six.
Gasoline engine (10) mounted on the frame
powers two hydraulic pumps, which operate the
hydraulic motors for the conveyors and control
cylinders which raise, lower, and rotate the
conveyor; open and close the slide gates.
The incline conveyor is mounted on pivoting
frame (9) that rotates 120°. A spout on the end of
the conveyor allows for convenient distribution.
