Structure and function
The following section provides information on the machine structure
and the functions of the individual components.
5.1
Function
Fig. 12
The
AMAZONE ZA-M
fertiliser spreader is
equipped with two hopper tips and replaceable
spreading discs (Fig. 12/1) that are driven from
the inside out in opposite directions and counter
to the direction of travel, and are equipped with
one short (Fig. 12/2) and one long spreading
vane (Fig. 12/3).
The fertiliser is
•
transferred evenly by the agitator shaft from
the hopper onto the spreading discs.
•
fed out along the spreading vane and dis-
charged by the spreading discs moving at a
speed of 720 rpm.
Use the setting chart to adjust the fertiliser
spreader to the fertiliser being distributed.
Hydraulic motors drive the spreading discs and
the agitator shaft, and a hydraulic control block
supplies them with oil.
Boundary spreading is achieved by reducing the
border-side spreading disc speed.
A weigh cell is integrated into the front frame of
the
ZA-M Profis Hydro
.
This provides a convenient way to check the
spread rate while the machine is in use, and the
Control terminal displays the contents of the
hopper.
