  • Patent number: 12004505
    Abstract: An agricultural distribution device includes a plurality of spreading elements arranged on a distribution linkage and adapted to spread granular material on an agricultural land, a detection device adapted to detect plant rows on the agricultural land, an adjustment device configured to change an impact area of the granular material dispensed by one or more of the spreading elements on the agricultural land during a spreading process, and a control device which is adapted to control the adjustment device as a function of the plant rows on the agricultural land detected by the detection device during the spreading process.

  • Publication number: 20240155967
    Abstract: The invention relates to an application unit (10) for an agricultural application machine for applying granular material to an agriculturally used area (N), comprising a granular material portioning device (12) into which a granular material flow conveying bulk granular material can be introduced and by means of which portions (P) of granular material can be created from the granular material flow, the application unit (10) being equipped with an air separator (30) that allows air to be separated from the granular material flow.

  • Publication number: 20240016079
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for matching the operation of an individualizing device (26) and the operation of a portioning device (14) of an agricultural dispensing machine to each other in order to achieve a specified local depositing ratio (?x) when depositing seeds (K) individualized by the individualizing device (26) and fertilizer portions (P) produced by the portioning device (14) on a usable agricultural area (N), having the steps of: depositing individualized seeds (K) and produced fertilizer portions (P) onto the usable agricultural area (N) using the agricultural dispensing machine as part of a calibration drive and detecting the depositing positions (PK, PP) of the seeds (K) and fertilizer portions (P) deposited during the calibration drive and/or the local depositing relationship (?xK) thereof using a mobile testing device (54).

  • Patent number: 11785882
    Abstract: An agricultural machine for the combined application of seed and granulate on an agricultural area includes a separating device, a portioning device, and a control device. The separating device has a rotationally drivable separating element for separating seed grains and the portioning device has a rotationally drivable portioning element for producing granulate portions. The control device matches the rotational movements of the separating element and the portioning element to each other to implement a predetermined depositing relationship of the seed grains and the granulate portions on the agricultural area.

  • Publication number: 20210337722
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting the influence of the inclination (?1-?4) of an agricultural spreading device (100, 102) on the distribution of the material to be spread, having the steps of: receiving discharge information on spreading processes of agricultural spreading devices (100) using an analysis device (10) and ascertaining a relationship between a dispensing point of material to be spread onto at least one distribution disc (104, 106, 108, 110) of an agricultural spreading device and the distribution of material to be spread, said relationship depending on the inclination of an agricultural spreading device, using the analysis device on the basis of the received discharge information.

  • Patent number: 7255050
    Abstract: Pneumatic single grain sowing machine having a seeds storage container, and an individualization device subjected to air pressure, exhibiting perforations and rotating. The individualization device is led with its region disposed below the rotation axis at least in part to the placing of seed grains at the perforations through a seed storage led from the storage container to the individualization device. A separating wall is disposed between the storage container and the individualization device and determining the seed storage height level and extending at a distance to the individualization device in a vertical direction.
