Electro-Pneumatic Seed Dosing Systems

Project: VRT Seeder + Parceler

2013 - 2023

Over several years we developed not only electronics but also a beautiful relationship with the people working at Added-Tech.

Leaders in innovation in electronic seed dosing with many patents nationally and worldwide.

Among the projects, the Seeder stands out: a machine capable of responding to dosing configurations in seeds per meter, distance between seeds [cm], or thousands of plants per hectare. It can handle up to 2 independent and simultaneous seeding outputs, and up to 2 fertilizer outputs, also simultaneous and independent.

The dosing combines electronics with pneumatics: a stepper motor together with a suction pump.

As the system modernized, the VRT Seeder (Variable Rate Technology) mode was introduced. Studies have shown that the use of variable rate prescription maps obtained with VRT can achieve yield increases up to 20%.

Either of these two machines can complement another Added-Tech highlight: the Parceler. This machine cleans and preloads the dosing head, where the length of a plot and an aisle is configured. Then, either manually or in Non-Stop (automatic) mode, it calculates the distance traveled so that seeding only occurs within the plot, keeping the aisle clean.

Seriousness and Professionalism. Highly recommended
