4.0 FERTILIZER DISTRIBUTION

4.1 DISTRIBUTOR (Fig. 15)
The new volumetric distributing device, GRINTA, is essentially
composed of four elements for ferilizer distribution:
A) aluminium monobloc frame;
B) agitator element;
C) dosing rollers;
D) Feeler pin.

4.1.1 MONOBLOC FRAME

The monobloc frame is made of aluminium and offers the
following main advantages:
- realization of very high precision and high quality over time;
- resistance to the effects of UV rays or to the problems of harsh
autside temperatures;
- high resistance to corrosion;
- quick simple maintenance: in a few minutes we can completely
remove the components of the doser without fully unscrewing
the screws, using just one spanner.

4.1.2 AGITATOR ELEMENT

- Guarantee of continuous feeding to the dosing rollers.
The agitator has a diameter of 85 mm and consists of 4 elements
(curved pins). If the agitator is running too fast, its mixing effect
can be halved, by removing the two center pins. The power of the
agitator is reduced by means of the drive torque transmitted by
the external round belt. The agitator pulls the seed downwards in
the dosing roller. Under normal circumstances, the agitator
ALWAYS stays still. It only comes into operation when there are
product gaps between the agitator and the roller. Since the
GASPARDO dosing rollers ALWAYS transport the fertilizer along
the entire length. The agitator can be disabled by simply removing
the drive belt. This always happens when fertilizer is being used
as it is so compact that the dosing shaft is not able to break the
blocks of fertilizer down into small fragments!
- To remove the curved pin, simply pull it towards yourself to
detach it from the agitator axle (Fig. 16).
- To disable the agitator, lift the round belt above the edge of the
drive pulley and, on the opposite side, rotate the dosing roller in
the driving direction. The belt will come off (Fig. 17).
(To fit the belt, see chapter on dosing roller)
- Simply leave the belt on the drive shaft (Fig. 18).
