Seed Discs and Distance Rings: Identification

This article outlines the use of FarmDroid seed discs for precise planting, emphasizing the importance of identical components.

The seed disc ensures precise delivery of seeds—either individually or in groups—to the seed valve, maintaining optimal timing and spacing along each row.

Recognizing the diverse range of seed types and planting requirements, FarmDroid offers customized seed discs to suit all conditions.

To assist identification, each seed disc is clearly labeled with a code printed on its reverse side:

Hole type and diameter [1/10mm]

   Number of holes   Disc thickness [1/10 mm]   Disc version   Compatible with droid version

To ensure proper rotation of the seed disc, the funnel is fitted with a distance ring that matches the exact thickness of the seed disc in use. Using a distance ring with a thickness different from that of the seed disc can disrupt the seeding system’s operation and may lead to damage of the seed motor, coupling, or seed disc.

You can find the thickness specification for the distance ring on the flat exterior surface, as illustrated below:

CAUTION 😉👇🏻

To achieve optimal seeding performance, ensure that all active trailers are equipped with identical seed discs and spacers.

Using different seed discs on the same robot during operation can lead to malfunctions and reduced seeding accuracy.

NOTE 😊

If you would like to have a seed batch analyzed, please contact your local distributor.
