Planting methods VELOX SYSTEM HIGH PERFORMANCE PRECISION PLANTERS
The VELOX seeding row unit represents a new generation in precision seeding, designed to operate at high speeds whilst maintaining the highest levels of precision, planting consistency and agronomic control.
Its design is based on a high-strength reinforced parallelogram, combined with an active hydraulic pressure system capable of reaching up to 350 kg per row, ensuring constant contact with the soil and a uniform seeding depth even in demanding conditions or at high speeds. This dynamic control eliminates row unit bounce and significantly reduces variability in emergence.
The opening system incorporates a 15” double disc with an optimised angle of 9°, which improves penetration with lower power requirements and reduces lateral furrow compaction, creating an optimal environment for root development.
One of the key features is its high-precision metering unit developed using Precision Planting technology, capable of achieving singulation levels of up to 99%, ensuring uniform distribution regardless of crop type or seed size. This system incorporates a self-adjusting singulator and disc cleaning mechanisms that guarantee metering stability throughout the day.
The metering unit is driven entirely by the ELEKTRA system, with individual motors per row that allow precise control of plant density, a rapid response at headlands and consistent distribution even at low speeds. This system, which is fully compatible with ISOBUS, facilitates advanced functions such as section control, variable rate application and real-time monitoring, integrating fully into precision farming 4.0 environments.
Furthermore, the VELOX row unit incorporates a centrifugal seed release system, which projects the seed directly into the furrow without the need for auxiliary systems, reducing mechanics and improving placement consistency.
From an agronomic perspective, VELOX stands out for its ability to maintain a constant depth, excellent spacing uniformity and optimal soil-seed contact, key factors for maximising crop emergence and yield.
Overall, the VELOX row unit offers a combination of precision, working speed and advanced control, positioning itself as a highly efficient solution for farms seeking to maximise production potential through state-of-the-art sowing technology.
