7.0 Overview and operation
7.1 Grain and Fertiliser Overview
The Grain and Fertiliser DTS gives the capability to apply
fertiliser directly to the optimum position for the seed. This
saves on fertiliser costs as the DTS applies the fertiliser into the
same strip as the seed, where traditionally the fertiliser would be
applied to the entire surface area of the field. The system allows
for large savings in running costs by combining seedbed
preparation, seed and fertiliser application in one pass.
50/50 Split Hopper:
Is designed to so that it is versatile in almost every situation. The hopper has an
internal slide that can allow for two smaller capacity hoppers (Grain and Fertiliser) or a large single
hopper (Grain only). The hopper lids are spaced so that both sides of the hopper can be filled
simultaneously if required.
Hopper Emptying hatch:
Each side of the hopper has an emptying hatch so that it can be emptied
individually so that a large mass of seed can be removed quickly if necessary.
Seed/Fert transfer pipes:
Act as a transport vessel for the seed to travel from the outlet of the Sumo
Orga Metering Unit to the distribution heads and thereby to each coulter.
Calibration Flap:
Is a simple valve to allow seed to drop through an outlet in the Seed/Fert transfer pipe
to calibrate the drill for a required seed rate. When the flange is pointing down, the valve is shut. When
