Fertilizer hopper and seed hopper

For machines with fertilizer equipment, the fertilizer metering unit 4 is installed under the fertilizer hopper 1. Depending on the machine equipment, the fertilizer hopper can also be equipped with 2 hopper chambers and 2 fertilizer metering units. For machines with the Central Supply System, the giver unit 3 is installed under the seed hopper 2.

Depending on the equipment, an electric scale may be installed on the fertilizer hopper.

For machines without fertilizer equipment the giver unit 2 of the Central Seed Supply System is installed under the seed hopper 1.

Depending on the equipment, an electric scale may be installed on the seed hopper.

The grating screens 1 keep foreign objects out of the machine and they can be used as a placement area when filling the hopper chambers with bagged goods. It is possible to carry bags with a maximum weight of 44,09 lb (20kg) on the grating screens when the hopper cover is closed.

The hopper covers seal the hopper chambers so that they are pressure-tight. When the fan is switched on, pressure is built up in the conveyor section, in the seed hopper, and in the fertilizer hopper.

Each hopper chamber is equipped with a fill level sensor 1 to monitor the fill level. When the spreading material no longer covers the fill level sensor, the control terminal displays a warning message and an alarm signal sounds. The fill level sensor can be fastened in the upper position 2 or lower position 3, depending on the spreading material.

The interior lighting of the hopper is switched on with the driving lights of the tractor.
