Use of Metering Unit Spool Covers
When seed is not required from a particular metering spool, it
may be simply and quickly blanked off using a spool cover to
cover 100% of the metering spool.
or
When sowing rates of 10kg per hectare or less is required it is
recommended that either a 66% or a 33% spool cover be used to
partially cover the metering spool to reduce the amount of
product being metered into the line with each spool revolution.
Blanking off a section of the spool when applying low rates allows
a higher spool rpm to be maintained which will result in a more
consistent flow of the product.
Spool covers to blank
off either 100%, 66%
and 33% of the spool
are supplied with the
Simplicity Air Seeder.
Spool Covers are easily
installed by removing the front
panel on the metering unit and
placing the spool cover in front
of the spool to be blanked off
or restricted as shown. Push
the cover firmly in until it clips
into place.
Use of spool
covers to blank off
or restrict
fertiliser flow is
not recommended.
As fertiliser can
pack between the
spool and the
spool cover, the
seeder drives can
be unnecessarily
overloaded
causing damage.
