Combined front hoppers

Good seed drilling is the basis of a good harvest. Our combination seed drills and hoppers are designed to ensure regular and precise seeding and fertilising, even under the most demanding and difficult working conditions.

The high-performance Alpego volumetric metering unit

t works perfectly on all types of soil and in all weather conditions: hard-packed, with crop residues, stony and in the most extreme conditions such as wet.

Metering unit opening control

The seed test door is equipped with a sensor that prevents any errors.

Isolation of the metering unit

The guillotine door positioned at the base of the hopper allows isolating the metering unit.

Movable bulkhead

Manual movable bulkhead for excluding a dispenser of your choice, or electronic (optional) for running half the machine.

precision double disc sowing technology

1. Silent Block

Low maintenance, high load.

Sowing discs

Double disc with a diameter of 340 mm, with sharp profile and double internal scraper for constant cleaning.

QUICK ADJUSTMENT OF THE SEED BAR

Quick and simplified adjustment of sowing depth with a range of 0-80 mm in 8 mm increments.

2. Roller mounted on a parallelogram

Seeding bar attached to the roller by means of a parallelogram.

Rapid load changeover
Mantenimento della barra parallela al suolo al variare del carico.

3. Parallelogram system

Wide 150 mm height adjustment range, maintenance of the set sowing depth, identical parallelograms between the front and rear coulters to ensure the same sowing quality.

4. Sowing rows at 350 mm

Large distance between the 2 sowing rows (43 cm) to facilitate the passage of the soil and any crop residues.

5. Depth wheel

320 mm wheel for constant maintenance of the parallelogram at the set depth.

An optimized distribution system for uniform seed drilling

Rotal device

The Turbo ROTAL system is an innovative system consisting of a spinning impeller located in the centre of the distribution head, that promotes a more uniform distribution of the seed to the seeding rows even in hilly areas thus reducing by a 40% factor the error in distribution homogeneity.

Alpego solution

The Alpego Turbo ROTAL solution guarantees a better distribution of the product on each row, the rotating movement of the turbine spreads the seed uniformly on all the outputs of the distribution head, even if it works in a non-horizontal way. It proved a better birth and better seed drilling efficiency.

market standards

In traditional pneumatic conveying systems the seed split distribution head has a natural inaccuracy due to various factors including the inclination where, by gravity, the product tends to concentrate in the lower area. Because of this, important errors can often occur among the various rows which can lead to non-homogeneous seeding.
