Seeding Kit Components and Terminology
Simplicity Air Seeders are designed to suit, and work efficiently
with, all makes and models of cultivator or seeding tool. As
Simplicity Australia has no control over which cultivator is to be
used, a common seeding kit has been developed to suit all.
Seeding kits are an integral part of the Air Seeders performance.
Incorrectly fitted or incompatible seeding kits can have a severe
adverse effect on the performance of the Air Seeder.
The use of a genuine Simplicity Australia seeding kit is
recommended for the optimum performance of the Simplicity Air
Seeder.
Below is a list of ‘common terminology’ used when describing
seeding kit components. This ‘common terminology’ will be useful
when fitting the seeding kit, ordering spare parts, or in the event of
troubleshooting seeding kit problems.
As the name suggests the Air Seeder uses air as the medium to
transfer product from the bins to the sowing boots. The air which
carries the product must be evenly distributed across the width of
the cultivator.
Air flow, provided by the hydraulically driven blower, travels
through the metering units, picks up metered product from the
bins and exits the Air Seeder via the ‘primary lines’. Air Seeders up
to 4500 litre capacity will have four primary lines. 6000 litre and
above have 6 primary lines.
Primary Lines
The Primary Line is a 76mm internal diameter smooth bore hose
that carries the product from the Air Seeder metering units to the
primary dividers.
Primary Dividers
The Primary Divider then equally disperse air volume from one
primary line to either two, three or four secondary lines.
Two way Primary Dividers have 50mm outlets to the secondary
lines while three and four way Primary Dividers have 44.5mm
outlets to the secondary lines.
