for the Precea-TCC in working widths of 6 m and 7.5 m

Flexible working without wasting time - easy filling, quick emptying
In the version with the seed hoppers mounted on the sowing units, each having a hopper capacity of 70 l, the seed is conveniently filled from sacks since the hopper lids can be opened just using one hand. A filling aid, that guides the seed safely into the hopper and makes the filling process even easier, is available as an option. The low level sensor, fitted as standard, provides an early warning of the fill level via the terminal.

The centralised singling discs are easily replaced and the seed hoppers individually filled and emptied of any seed residues- by hand and in the shortest possible time. The sowing units can be easily folded, even when the seed hoppers are full, allowing you to move on to the next field quickly and easily. An ideal solution for farms with different crops and for contractors having a wide range of customer requirements. 

The benefits:

• Quick change of seed type
• Optional additional micro-granular applicator

From big bag to each individual seed 
The short sowing periods available must be optimally utilised for uniform plant emergence. This requires a high output solution: maximum performance from the Precea-TCC with central seed hopper - for dozens of hectares and long working hours, ideal for large farms and contractors. 

The benefits: 

• the large seed hoppers, having a volume of 850 l or 2,000 l, reduce fill times and non-productive times
• Self-regulating seed delivery from the hopper into the singling chamber simplifies operation.

Central Seed Supply – seed always available when it is needed
Seed is delivered from the central hopper to the reception units, mounted above each sowing unit, via an air stream. These reception units act as a temporary store for the seed. The control system is self-regulating: If the hopper is full enough so that the green grid on the inside is completely covered with seed, this restricts the air flow - no more seed is transported from the central hopper to the sowing units. As the seed is taken down into the singling chamber, the reservoir empties and the air flow is reactivated. The Central Seed Supply System thus ensures that the sowing unit supplies itself with seed without the need for electronic control.

From big bag to the band of applied fertiliser

Short filling times are essential for high area coverage when it comes to precision seeding. In order to match the output of the other elements of the Precea-TCC (wide working widths and large seed hoppers), the twin-chamber fertiliser hopper is able to hold up to 6,000 l of granular fertiliser.

The hopper can be conveniently filled in a matter of minutes from a big bag over the side of the machine.

Via a cassette in the metering unit, the fertiliser is transported from the central hopper to the distributor head by an air flow. From here, the fertiliser is delivered to each individual FerTeC twin HD fertiliser coulter, where it is then placed in the soil in a band as under-root fertilisation.

If required, individual row shut-off of the fertiliser can be carried out at the distributor head, which is equipped with the individual row shut-off of the seed. Fertiliser only goes where it is supposed to - for ideal plant growth conditions with savings on input costs.

The fill level indicator can be supplemented by camera monitoring inside the hopper. The hopper's weighing system also enables exact monitoring of the fertiliser application – bringing maximum precision to the entire fertiliser and single seed sowing operation.

The benefits: 

• Large fertiliser hopper (3,000 or 6,000 l) enables extended operating periods without refilling.
• Individual row control maximises working efficiency.

The micro-granular applicator for dispensing micro-granules in rows (left image) or via a diffuser (right image) ensures full flexibility. The effective application of specialist fertilisers, slug pellets or insecticides can be carried out very efficiently in the same pass.

 

 

 

For the Precea 6000-TCC with seed hoppers mounted on the sowing units, secondary hoppers with a capacity of 17 l are available. Hoppers with a capacity of 30 l can be installed for the Precea-TCC with central hoppers for both seed and fertiliser.
