ValoTerra

MicroSmart hopper:

With one 20L MicroSmart hopper per row, microgranular products are applied very close to seeds. The new hopper design enables 2 to 35kg/ha to be metered accurately when applying standard working speeds, products and row spacing.

MicroSmart microgranulator:

This unit is the core of the MicroSmart system, providing row-by-row application of microgranules and section-control. Microgranules can be changed easily and tool-free using two distribution screws.

Seed hopper:

The capacity of the translucent plastic hopper has been increased to 70L. 70L equates to 160,000 maize seeds, or over 3 doses. This saves both time and effort.

Planting adjustments:

Planting settings are adjusted using levers and notched scales that are easy to spot and quick to operate. These simplified adjustment mechanisms offer significant time savings.

New metering box

The ValoTerra metering box is vacuum-operated, which is the best technology for planting the most diverse possible range of seeds at all speeds. The box is designed to be fully sealed with no leaks or loss of vacuum, which means that seeds remain attached to the disc at speeds of up to 18 kph. Performance, versatility and precision are combined in this new metering box.

Emptying the box

The metering box is quick and easy to empty. It is equipped with an integrated emptying chute and the seed supply can also be isolated using an adjustable shutter.

An electrically driven box:

As well as being fully leak-proof, the new metering box is equipped with an electric drive unit in the seed disc shaft enabling precision planting at higher speeds.
