(c) Seed on Demand - elbow
If the Seed on Demand elbows are empty earlier,
the system is operated with a too low air quantity.
¾
Increase the fan speed.
A speed of approx. 3600 rpm is required
for maize. For lighter seeds, like sunflower,
3000 rpm is quite sufficient.
The Seed on Demand system works
best with the slowest possible air flow
velocity (fan speed) for the seed
transport.
In case of seed with sticky dressing the
seed may be mixed with a mixture of 80 %
talcum powder and 20 % graphite.
