Abstract: A system for distributing granular products into the soil includes a mechanism for opening a furrow in the soil, a mechanism for filling the furrow, and an assembly for distributing a granular product. The assembly for distributing granular product includes a main hopper, a first distribution mechanism for distributing a first granular product, and a first conveyor mechanism for carrying the granular product to the soil. The assembly for distributing granular product also includes a dispensing assembly for an additional or second granular product. The dispending assembly is configured to deposit the additional granular product to the soil at the location where the first granular product was deposited and at least one of before furrow opening mechanism and after the furrow closing mechanism.

Abstract: A distribution assembly for distributing a granular product that are to be distributed on the ground comprises, a mechanism for distributing granular product singly, a mechanism for conveying singled granular product to the ground, and a mechanism for transferring the singled granular product from the mechanism for distributing to the mechanism for conveying. The mechanism for transferring may be synchronized in terms of speed and in terms of position with the mechanism for distributing, and the mechanism for transferring may capture the granular product singly and immobilize it within the mechanism for transferring, so as to keep each granular product spaced a determined and constant distance from one another, in the mechanism for transferring and during the transfer of the granular product to the mechanism for conveying.

Abstract: A device is provided for dispensing seeds singly. The device includes a drum, a dispensing disc, a vacuum chamber and a seal of the vacuum chamber, between the drum and the disc. The seal includes a friction insert mounted so as to be immobile in rotation relative to the drum against the periphery of the disc and an elastic seal mounted so as to be immobile in rotation between the drum and the friction insert. The elastic seal maintains the friction insert in a position of leaning against the disc.
Abstract: A pneumatic seeder is provided, which is configured to be fixedly attached to a farming machine. The seeder includes an element for contacting with the ground, an element for storing a product to be sown, a pneumatic distributor of said product, a suction fan having at least one air inlet connected to the pneumatic for distributor and at least one air discharge outlet, an air extractor connected to the discharge outlet, the end of the air extractor leading out to face the ground. The seeder includes a damper and/or diverter for damping and/or diverting the flow of air coming from the air extractor. The damper and/or diverter is placed downstream from the end of the air extractor.
Abstract: Described herein is a planting unit that includes a frame whereon are mounted: means of opening a furrow in the ground, in the form of two adjacent discs; a pointed member removably mounted on said frame and protruding between said two discs and in the direction of the ground, said member being intended to form said furrow in a V shape, means of retaining said member mounted mobile on said frame between a retaining position of said member and a releasing position; and means of actuating connected to said means of retaining
Abstract: The seed drill element comprises a frame, a seed tank, a seed dispenser, and a member for opening a furrow in the ground. The seed drill element further comprises mechanism for bearing against the ground, having a rear block and/or a front block, with each block having at least one wheel and an arm hinged to the frame, and also topsoiling mechanism including a rear link, two front links, and an intermediate link. The topsoiling mechanism also comprise a mechanism for moving the rear link relative to a reference part connected to the frame. In addition, the seed drill element includes a locking mechanism so that the topsoiling mechanism can be configured for front topsoiling, for rear topsoiling, and/or for rocker topsoiling.
