Abstract: A sowing element (1) for agricultural precision sowing machines (100) comprising a seed selection device (10) which includes a casing (10a) and a perforated disc (18) which is caused to rotate in the casing, a pressurization device associated with the casing in order to subject opposite faces (18a, b) of the disc to a pressure differential, an opening (16) in the casing which is for ventilating one of the faces of the disc and which is or can be pneumatically connected to a filtration system (42) or a remote intake system. In this manner, the introduction of sand and powder inside the seed selection device is prevented.

Abstract: A precision pneumatic seed drill. The seed drill comprises at least one sowing element having a seed selector device housing a perforated selector disc which selects seed and has opposing faces subject to a pressure differential. A sowing duct is associated with the selector device. A system measures the speed of forward movement of the seed drill with reference to the ground being sown in order to vary the rotational speed of the selector disc according to the speed of forward movement measured by the measuring system. A pressurization device associated with the selector disc applies the pressure differential to the faces. An ejector along the sowing duct is fed by a compressed air dispenser for pneumatically accelerating the seeds singled out by the selector device. A device for varying the pressure of compressed air fed to the ejector is calibrated according to the typology of the seed to be sown.

Abstract: A sowing element for precision pneumatic seed drills. The sowing element includes a conduit for transporting the seed with an initial portion which is proximal to a device for isolating the seed, an intermediate portion which extends in continuation of the initial portion, and a terminal portion for dispensing the seed; and a pneumatic accelerator which is arranged along the conduit for transporting the seed. The pneumatic accelerator is positioned between the intermediate portion and the terminal portion of the conduit for transporting the seed.

Abstract: A sowing element for precision pneumatic seed drills. The sowing element includes a selector disc for isolating the seed, the selector disc being rotatable about an axis (X), and a conduit for transporting the seed with an initial portion which is proximal to a position for removing the seed from the selector disc and an intermediate portion which extends in continuation of the initial portion. The conduit, at least in the initial portion and in the intermediate portion, is substantially rectilinear and substantially coaxial and has an axis (Y) which is located inside a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the sowing ground and parallel with the sowing advance direction.
