Applications of the
machine
This PTO shaft driven machine is suited for spreading granular
fertiliser on the field and grazing land.
It is attached
•
to the three-point power lift of the tractor (Cat. II), or
•
to the trailer supplied for this purpose.
Border spreading is possible by using the following:
•
border spreading plate,
•
tramline cylinder,
•
TrimFlow border spreading system.
Environment
This fertiliser spreader is equipped with a calibration and border
spreading set that comply with environmental standard
EN 13739-1 .
Software
This manual contains a description for a control system driven by
software version 1.11 or higher.
RotaFlow spreading
system
This rotary type spreader has two spreading discs. Each has eight
vanes. They are mounted level so that the fertiliser is spread over the
land in a constant horizontal flow. The spreading quantity is regulated
by a dosing plate on top of the spreading disc. Both the dosing plates
are located right on top of the discharge bushings.
The fertiliser falls on the turning spreading disc. The discharge point
is determined by the opening in the discharge bushing behind the
vanes. This means that the fertiliser granules are already turning
before they come into contact with the vanes on the spreading disc.
This prevents granules from breaking apart and becoming powdery.
The agitator mounted below in the hopper provides for a constant
stream of fertiliser dust, seeds or granules to the dosing opening(s).
Moreover, the agitator prevents the chunks of fertiliser from blocking
one or more dosing openings.
Adjust carefully
The spreader enables you to set the dosing and working width
independently of each other. Moreover, it is possible to shut 2 of the 3
dosing openings so that the application rate can also be set precisely
with a low flowrate, while the risk of blockages remains limited.
