Abstract: Disclosed is a rotating conveyor disk of a metering or sowing unit having a plurality of recesses for transporting grains. The conveyor disk rotates within a housing of a metering unit for granular material, such as seeds, fertilizer, or the like. The conveyor disk has at least one recess at the outer periphery for the reception of at least one grain to be separated via at least one revolution of the conveyor disk. In the interaction with a groove-shaped profile of the inner cover surface, the at least one recess forms a conveyor pocket for conveying one grain or a plurality of grains in the direction toward an outlet opening extending approximately tangentially to the inner cover surface. The at least one recess is located at the outer periphery of the conveyor disk in an insert element that is detachably secured in the disk.

Abstract: A metering unit for granular material includes a conveyor disk driven by a drive motor and rotating approximately concentrically to an inner cover surface of a housing. The conveyor disk has a recess for the reception of at least one grain to be separated via at least one revolution of the conveyor disk. In the interaction with a groove-shaped and/or slanted profile of the inner cover surface, the recess forms a conveyor pocket for conveying one grain or a plurality of grains in the direction toward an outlet opening extending approximately tangentially from the inner cover surface. For varying an axial distance to the inner cover surface and/or a width of the conveyor pocket, the conveyor disk, which is rotationally fixedly connected with the drive motor, is adjustable in the axial direction of the drive motor.
