Seed Drill Innovation

Togeth­er with the seed drill man­u­fac­tur­ers, we devel­op the meter­ing wheels in such a way that they meet the respec­tive chem­i­cal and cli­mat­ic require­ments. Sow­ing at ten degrees out­side tem­per­a­ture may require a dif­fer­ent rub­ber com­pound than sow­ing in a hot envi­ron­ment. The rub­ber can be adapt­ed by select­ing the com­pound. Here we can draw on our wealth of knowl­edge from prod­uct devel­op­ment with rub­ber and plas­tic. The JÄGER Group has sophis­ti­cat­ed test meth­ods and test pro­ce­dures at its dis­pos­al to deter­mine the right rub­ber com­pound for the application.

The seed is usu­al­ly sup­plied with a suit­able fer­til­iz­er addi­tion, the fer­til­iz­ing of the sow­ing is thus com­plet­ed. When select­ing the mate­r­i­al, we pay par­tic­u­lar atten­tion to ensur­ing that the chem­i­cal­ly aggres­sive fer­tilis­er used is neu­tral in rela­tion to the poly­mer mix­ture used in the rotors. Fur­ther impor­tant cri­te­ria of our cus­tomers are the abra­sion resis­tance of the mix­ture as well as dura­bil­i­ty in agri­cul­tur­al use. Here you ben­e­fit from our many years of expe­ri­ence in com­pound devel­op­ment and optimisation!
