Pneumatic seed drill VEGA 8 PROFI is designed for precision sowing using minimum and traditional cultivation technologies. It provides sowing of seeds with the simultaneous introduction of liquid complex fertilizers and rolling of the soil in the sown rows.
It was created to take advantage of modern design solutions that make it possible to significantly reduce the cost of agricultural products on the market.
Mineral fertilizers in liquid form.
Liquid fertilizers are much easier to apply to the soil than granular fertilizers. They are introduced into the soil in the fall for the main cultivation or in the spring for pre-sowing cultivation. They are also used for root and foliar feeding during the growing season of plants.
Liquid complex fertilizers (LCF) - simple and easy to use, moreover, LCF are relatively inexpensive. Such fertilizers can be used in combination with pesticides, which can significantly save financial resources of fuels and lubricants. When using liquid complex fertilizers, losses are no more than 10%, while when using other fertilizers, this figure can reach 30-40%.
VEGA 8 PROFI seeder has a 1100 liters tank capacity for liquid complex fertilizers . At the bottom of the tank there is a tap for draining the remaining liquid fertilizers.
A 50 l tank for flushing the systems, after liquid fertilizations, is integrated into the main tank.
A 15 liter tank with service water for hand washing is integrated into the main tank.
Using an electric pump with a capacity of 21 l/min., by Pentair plant, connected to the tractor's energy system. Liquid fertilizers are supplied through the filter from the tank for 3 adjustable valves (one main and two additional). With the help of valves and a set of washers, the rate of fertilizer delivery to each row is set. Excess fluid is returned back to the tank through a reversible feed system.
Liquid fertilizer is delivered through a hose with a metal tip,which located between the double disc coulter and the press rollers.
• provides accurate single-grain dosing of seeds;
• the presence of upper and lower adjustable seed spreaders, that is, the absence of twin seeds;
• easy and convenient maintenance without working tools;
• the presence of a viewing window - ease of adjustment;
• no load on the housing of the seeding unit - durability of its use.
Seeder is equipped with plastic hoppers made of high quality polyethylene. This, in turn, provides a significantly lower hopper weight; resistance to various types of corrosion; and vibration resistance. In addition, these bins do not require periodic painting.
VEGA 8 PROFI seeder has a total capacity of the seed hoppers - 416 l, and 1100 l - for liquid complex fertilizers.
For direct sowing on stubble, a coulter (cutting disc) can be installed instead of lump disposal, as an additional option.
Maximum combination of seeds discharge into the seeding bed and the support point of the side wheels precisely maintains the specified seeding depth, ensuring uniform germination and increasing yields and prosperity.
Copying wheels are mounted on a balance beam and can move independently from each other, overcoming obstacles up to 50 mm high, without reducing the sowing depth.
Design of coupling hitch allows for aggregation with tractors of different manufacturers.
Seeder with an electric drive is available on an individual order.
Seeding units are driven by electric drives with electronic control and seeding control, combining ease of maintenance, reliability and accuracy of seeding corn, sunflower and other row crops. Seeding rate adjustment is carried out from the tractor cab by the operator using the buttons on the monitor.
With this system, the gearbox, shafts, chains and gears are eliminated from the metering units, there is no need to waste time changing pinions to set a different seeding rate.
Working speed increases.
New gauge wheels with spokes prevent the adhesion of soil on the inner surface of the wheel, and as a result, damage to the bearing assembly of the disc opener hub of the section is eliminated and its service life is increased.
Disc coulters with new bearing unit. The seeders use double-row ball bearings of the FKL firm, which have an increased service life and a greater resistance to dynamic loads.
Dynamic design of the chain tensioners on the sections, eliminates chain dropping, during the operation of the drill.
A gearbox unit of 5x5 gears has been installed, now the farmer has the opportunity to use a wider range of seeding rates, due to the bigger number of gear ratios of the gearbox wheels.
Electronic control system HELIOS is installed on the VEGA 8 PROFI seeders, which monitors the passage of seeds in each opener, the speed of movement and transmits information to a monitor installed in the tractor cab, which allows keeping records of the sown area.
Usege of high-strength pipes of European steels allows to reduce the weight of the frame structure, while increasing its strength and rigidity, which leads to decreasing tractor fuel consumption.
Frame tube, acting as a receiver, provides a stable value of vacuum in all seeding units (it allows keeping heavy seeds in the holes of the seeding discs of the outer sections).
Production line was equipped with a powder coating line -Ideal-line (Denmark). This painting technology makes it possible to produce high-quality paintwork with a guaranteed service life up to 8 years.
Usege of hardware with a strength class, at least 8.8, ensures reliability and durability of exploitation.
Fuel consumption when working with a 90 hp tractor is 2.6 - 2.9 l/ha.
