Hopper position & architecture

Rational storage hopper position: Towed behind

Maneuverabilitypredictive model

Instructionfor maneuvers optimization and

automation

Pneumatic conveying

Design method:

Distribution accuracy

Choice of architecture of air-seeders

Optimization of the air-stream loading

Establishment of conveyingconditions

Improvement of divider head geometry

Air velocity and flow concentration per type of seeds;

Method to measure the velocity of the loaded airflow

Design methodology for air-seeder conveying systems;

Method for calculating the energy consumption;

Optimum outlet pipe diameterPressurized hopper and Venturi

injector comparing

Distribution accuracy is defined by the distribution of concentration of seeding material through a tower

cross-section before dividing.

Elbow provokes a saltatory movement of the particles’ flow core.

Practical explanations of the observed effects and

recommendations for futuredivider heads design.
