Pneumatic precision seed drill VELOX VMP 300/12

disc12-rowfolding

Overview
High-performance vacuum seed planter range designed for precise seed singulation, uniform spacing and consistent seed-to-soil contact. Suitable for a variety of row crops with models offering telescopic or foldable frames and multiple row configurations.

Key features

• Hydraulic downforce system delivering up to 350 kg per row.
• Heavy-duty parallel linkage with reinforced cast-iron arms for longevity and stability.
• Floating row cleaners with 350 mm stars; optional side wheels (255x45 mm) for improved residue management and stability.
• 15" double-disc openers with 9° between discs to reduce compaction and improve seed placement.
• Sealed bearings (reinforced triple seals) on ground wheels and opener discs for reduced maintenance.
• Intermediate press wheels ensuring consistent seed placement and reliable seed-to-soil contact.
• Microgranular product support: up to two 20 L hoppers per row with ISOBUS-compatible electric drives and universal auger metering.
• Large 70 L seed hoppers with moisture-tight lids and locks to reduce refills.
• Precision vacuum seed meters with self-adjusting singulator and ejector wheel for ≥99% accuracy (Precision Planting).
• Stepper motors providing consistent high-torque performance across working speeds for uniform distribution.

Seed meter and micro-products
Precision Planting vacuum seed meter achieves ≥99% accuracy. The meter is easy to adjust and maintain; the singulator is self-adjusting and includes an ejector wheel to clear seed disk holes and prevent skips. Up to two 20 L micro-product hoppers per row with ISOBUS electric motors provide precise application in-furrow or behind closing wheels with section/row control.

Downforce & weight transfer
Each row fitted with hydraulic cylinders delivering up to 350 kg downforce; optional springs with 6 settings provide up to 250 kg. Tractor-to-planter Adaptive Weight Transfer (hydraulic proportional) can add up to 1000 kg additional frame load for improved ground contact.

Fertiliser and distribution options
High-capacity fertilizer systems available: frontal AURA 2000 L air-pressurised hopper or planter-mounted 1400 L air-pressurised hoppers. Fertilizer metering uses modular volumetric meters with ISOBUS electric drives and air distribution driven by a hydraulic turbine. Fertilizer openers offered as 16" single disc or 15" double disc variants.

Design & options
Telescopic and foldable frame options depending on model. Row spacing adjustment hydraulic with 5 cm increments (some models manual/continuous). Available options: hydraulic row markers, turbodisc + row cleaners package, intermediate press wheels, various depth-control wheel sizes and closing wheel configurations. Typical transport width: 3.0 m.
