HELICA volumetric seed metering by fluted rollers is suitable for all seed sizes and shapes. The distribution system is capable of application rates between 1.5 – 450 kg/ha. It is accurate and precise throughout the whole operation. It provides regular seeding rates and distribution in the row, even on slopes and uneven ground and is unaffected by vibrations. The PREMIA metering system is controlled by the seed drill’s two wheels via a 6-cam selector. Rotation is uniform to ensure reliable control and regular flow which is ideal for fine seeds at low application rates.
The seeding units are in two rows, offset by 32 cm: effective operations are ensured even in difficult conditions. Coulter pressure is high at 32 kg per unit so you can maintain a sufficient seeding depth in hard ground and carry out deep seeding at high speeds. The small angle of the disc reduces soil movement to a minimum when moving forward which is very appreciable at high speeds. A cast iron seeding tip, positioned in line with the disc, consolidates the furrow and positions the seed precisely. The shape of the discs also facilitates penetration into the soil and ensures that the seeding depth you require remains constant.
The shaped coulters guide the seeds into the ground with great accuracy and work especially well in hard and stony soils. The large distance of 34 cm between rows limits the risk of clogging. The anti-clogging flap closes the coulter automatically.
The adjustable low stop (by rotating handle) determines maximum seeding depth which is a real advantage for combined seeding in mixed soil. It allows you to do high-pressure work while preventing the seeds from going too deep in light soils. The covering harrow with trailing tines is pressure-adjustable to produce great results in any soil type, even in plant debris!
Flow rate can be checked with the machine on the ground or even without it being hitched to the tractor. Simply turn the lever for maximum access, to carry out calibration or empty the hopper. Afterwards set the opening with a micrometric screw and turn it as needed. The flow test is particularly simple to do. The seeding bar tilts via a parallelogram, making a large amount of space available for the collection bucket.
The high-capacity hopper can contain up to 1450 l with extension. To facilitate loading, the hopper has a wide opening and the cover can open to 110°. It’s a real advantage when filling with a bucket or big bag! Gas struts make cover-opening easier, even on 4 m-wide machines. PREMIA seed drills have a V-shaped hopper bottom to reduce residual seeds and ensure uniform metering-unit supply and complete emptying. The standard oscillating agitator handles seeds with the utmost care.
