Product Overview
Design Specifications
Bins
Bins, powder coated inside and out for first class corrosion protection, are fully
sealed and feature strong leak proof joins, heavy duty ladder, safety rails,
walkways and fully adjustable lids. A swing away bottom door as well as an
externally controlled clean out door for easy cleaning of bins. Heavy duty chassis
and choice of bin split for double and triple shooting as well as splitting and
blending practices.
Chassis
Very robust folded steel construction with each model specially designed for the
weight and vehicle loadings they encounter. Heavy duty drawbars, axle and wheel
components provide an exceptionally strong, yet functional chassis.
Metering Systems
Bins are sealed and pressure equalised with the metering unit. The metering unit
utilizes an agitator and nylon fluted spools to meter seed and fertiliser into the air
stream. All metering units fitted to Simplicity Air Seeders allow splitting and
blending as standard.
Each bin feeds a separate metering unit, which is independently driven by an
infinitely variable speed gearbox.
Application rate simply altered ‘on the go’ using linear actuators to adjust the
output speed of each Zeromax drive. A pointer attached to the linear actuator
corresponds with a graduated calibration dial. The ability to manually alter the
rate is still available if, in the unlikely event, a linear actuator should fail. Further
variation of application rate is available through spool covers for low planting
rates, and reversal of metering sprockets for high planting rates.
Highly efficient heavy duty blowers featuring an aluminium impellor encased in a
cast housing provide adjustable air volume to suit a wide variety of applications.
Heavy duty hydraulic blower motors are fitted according to specified
requirements. Air is dried as it passes through an oil heat exchanger.
Grain and fertiliser is positively and accurately metered into the air stream and
carried to the primary and secondary heads which divide and distribute grain and
fertiliser to the planting boots.
Distribution Systems
Four (4) way metering units are standard on Simplicity Air Seeders up to and
including 4500 litre models and six (6) way metering units are standard on 6000
litre models and above.
Four way metering units are capable of distributing product to 160 outlets while
six way metering units can distribute product to 240 outlets.
Seeding Kits
Maximum performance is achieved with the use of genuine Simplicity Australia
manufactured seeding kits comprising of specially designed primary dividers and
secondary heads for accurate product distribution.
