NG Plus Metering System
| The Vacuum System
The vacuum is created through the turbofan, driven by a pto or a hydraulic motor. A lever on the metering box allows you to adjust the vacuum level to the weight of the seed being planted. As the seed disc turns, a brass ejector block assures that the seed is dropped at a consistent angle, reducing seed bounce inside the seed tube. The results are precision seed spacing every time. |

Adjustment Lever- The adjustment lever proportions the air suction to the weight of the seed, and at the same time sets the height of the seed scraper to the size of the seed. This unique design (monosem patent) allows for a wide range of seedss to be planted with one seed disc. |
Seed Scraper- As the seed disc turns, an easily adjustable brass scraper ensures that only one seed is accurately postioned on the hole of the seed disc. Stainless Steel Seed Disc- The flat surface of the heavy-duty stainless steel seed disc accepts a wide variety of seeds, whether irregular or round, coated or uncoated, without any loss of accuracy

Durability, Accuracy & Consistency Innovative Engineering combined with Quality Construction produces exceptional value from start to finish. The precision of the metering box results in accurate seed singulation. Seeds are suctioned to the seed disc, not blown or held in a cup, as with a air systems that require a round sized seed. Stainless steel seed discs with a smooth flat surface and a cast aluminum housing provide long life and gentle handling of the seed. Seed discs to accomodate any seed between Canola and Kidney Bean, custom discs also available by special order, hill planting triple drop seed discs, etc. |

Quality Construction -Long Term Use Cast Aluminum- The precision engineered cast aluminum metering box will maintain its accuracy year after year, even with exposure to the harsh elements! Plus, its special shape allows for planting even when a minimum of seed is left in the hopper. Contains sealed bearings for durability. Replaceable Wear Insert- The wear insert (the only plastic in the meter box) protects the metering box from wear and extends the life of the metering system components. Plus, it is easily removable and replaceable. Stainless Steel Seed Discs- Durable and long lasting, the seed discs are made of 1.6 mm thick stainless steel and are specially designed with precision hole size and spacing-- all to ensure accurate seed singulation for years to come. A large selection of discs are available to suit a wide variety of row crops. Curved Seed Tube- The seed tube is specially shaped to guide the seed gently into the seed trench, eliminating seed bounce. |
