Features of DELIMBE cover crop seeders:

Seed distribution is ensured by one of four flutes, chosen according to seed size. The dispenser is equipped with a blower driven by a 12V electric motor. The seed descends uniformly through the outlets, to be distributed by the splitters at the ends of the tubes.

The T18 seed drill is also available with hydraulic distribution; contact us for more information.

The airflow transfers the seed into the flexible corrugated tubes with an internal diameter of 30 mm. At the tube outlet, to better disperse the seed, it is preferable to use seed spreaders. The working width of each spreader is 50 to 100 cm depending on the height of the arrangement. They should be installed so that the seed projections cross each other, in front of a press roller to facilitate germination.

To maintain control of your seeding dosage, the T18 seed drills are equipped with a control box with 3 functions: starting the ventilation, starting and stopping the work of the groove at the end of the field (indicator light) and for the last graduated from 0 to 30, adjusting the seed output rate.

It is possible to have an optional flow rate adjustment based on progress via GPS or mechanical sensor.

The choice of CIPAN seed drill model and equipment will be based on 3 criteria:

• The maximum dosage per hectare
• The type of seed and its density
• The working width of the tool
