Renaldo Pneumatic Metered Seed Planter
Our GVB520 Pneumatic Metered Seed Planter is unlike any other planter on the market today, as it is specifically designed to plant almost any variety of seed through plastic mulch covered planting beds. It is also capable of planting on bare ground. Raw, or uncoated seeds are handled by means of a seed plate installed in the Gaspardo® Seed Singulator. Maschio-Gaspardo® is known world-wide for manufacturing some of the most precise seed singulation units imaginable. This unit delivers a precise amount of seed to our patented Posi-Flow® ground engaging system.
A regenerative blower supplies our pneumatic (air) planter with both positive and negative pressure for precise, accurate control. Positive pressure moves the seed to the cup allowing for faster planting cycles. Gravity does not play a factor. Negative pressure is used to hold the seed to the custom drilled seed plate. With a simple adjustment of the bleed-off cone valve the operator can increase or decrease both vacuum and positive air pressure for unrivaled accuracy. A simple sprocket change is all it takes to adjust in-row spacing.
Spring loaded parallel arms allow individual planting heads to float independently across the top of the seed bed. Very little pressure is actually applied to the seed bed. A propane fired Turbo Torch is used to pre-burn a hole into the plastic. The planting cup then inserts the seed directly into the center of the hole.
Our standard in-row spacing limitations are 8 in.(20.3 cm) to 24 in. (60.9 cm). Extended spacing is available as an option. Ask your sales person for details. Available in one, two, three, six and nine row configurations. All units ship completely assembled to the growers exact specifications from our factory in North Collins, NY 14111.
