ADDITIONAL HOPPERS

For two, or three metering units when using i-CON control, additions are connected together in series by drive shafts (up to 60mm).

Each hopper has its own adjuster to slide the six feed rolls together.

6 OUTLETS

Each hopper has six outlets. However blanking plates can be used to reduce the number of outlets.

BLANKING PLATES

To reduce the number of outlets. E.g. If using a seven leg subsoiler use two x 1m Micro Meters with six outlets each and blank off two from one hopper and three from the other to leave seven.

APPLICATION RATE

The application rate is set by a combination of feed aperture setting and shaft speed which in turn is a combination of gearbox setting and forward speed.

SPREADER KIT

Each 1m hopper is supplied with a spreader kit consisting of six inverted nylon cones attached to steel channel section. 

The steel channel section can be joined to the adjacent section if more than one Micro Meter is used. The outlet spreaders slide along the steel channel and are locked in place at the required spacings.

METERING

A precision moulded plastic fluted feed roller is driven by a stainless-steel feed shaft.

The feed rollers slide through their housings, to provide stepless rate adjustment, by opening or closing the feed aperture using a simple rotary wheel to increase or decrease the feed shaft speed. Either small or large fluted feed rollers can be supplied with the Micro Meter.

WORKING WIDTH

The number of Micro Meter units required is determined by the width of the implement they will be mounted to, the number of feed outlets needed and the hopper capacity required as well as the decision to broadcast or band sow.

BROADCAST

Typically used to distribute small seeds, fetiliser or herbicide granules.
Nylon spreader cones should be 30 - 40cm from the ground. Spread widths will vary according to the density of the product being metered. Bout widths should be established before use.

Each 1m hopper has 6 spreader cones and will broadcast most granules and small seeds evenly up to 1.5m (max).

2 x 1m hoppers in series with 12 spreader cones and will broadcast most granules and small seeds evenly up to 3m (max).

3 x 1m hoppers in series with 18 spreader cones and will broadcast most granules and small seeds evenly up to 4.5m (max). i-CON machines only.

BAND SOW

Typically used to deliver OSR behind or just to one side of a sub-soiler’s legs. Alternatively, for applying microgranular fertiliser in bands.

FITTING TO THE IMPLEMENT

The hoppers should be mounted high enough to ensure product can be gravity fed down the delivery hose.

The chassis bolts together to form a rigid structure. Spare holes have been drilled to facilitate fitting to the parent vehicle with a suitably supplied bracket.
