The Microsem system with auger ensures a regular metering of micro-granules. Its simple design enables an easy and reliable use. Multi-purpose, the Microsem is compatible with the majority of micro-granulate products on the market (insecticides, helicides, etc.).
Insecticide Microsem
The principle of the Microsem metering resides in the auger system. The micro-granules contained in the hopper are taken up by 2 augers (1). The agitators (2) enable a regular feed of these augers. A finger wheel (3) then spread the product uniformly in the insecticide tube (4).
Insecticide Tube
The insecticide Microsem tube (5) is placed just behind the shoe so as to distribute the product in the planting line.
Adjustment of the Microsem
The adjustment of the Microgranulators is made using a 3-level gearbox. It offers a wide range of adjustments (40 ratios) to meet with the majority of requirements.
Emptying of the Hoppers
The capacity of the Microsem hoppers is 33 or 50 lbs. The trapdoors (6) and the chute (7) enable simple and easy emptying of the remaining product.
For localized fertilizing during planting, Monosem offers hoppers of different capacities and a number of outlets suited to your planter.
Hoppers
On the MS planters, MONOSEM offers plastic hoppers available in three capacities:
Fertilizer Knife
The fertilizer products is spread by knives. These knives have a spring safety system and can be adjusted in height.
Fertilizer Transmission
The fertilizer transmission has many different combinations for a wide range of rates.
Double Disc Opener
The double disc opener creates a furrow to place fertilizer.
Metering by Auger
Using (1) agitators in conjunction with (2) steel augers ensures precise quantities metered.
The “standard” augers (A) are in blue and meter 67 to 290 lbs/ac of fertilizer for an inter-row spacing of 15″.
The “high output” augers (B) are in red and meter 133 to 580 lbs/ac of fertilizer for an inter-row spacing of 15″.
