Static calibration is a thing of the past

The hopper is mounted independently to the spreader frame via 4 weigh-cells. This avoids the weight of the frame influencing the weighing process. An additional reference sensor, fitted underneath the hopper, filters the weighing signal for interference caused by shock loads and spreading on slopes

EDW weighing system

The unique EDW weighing system eliminates time consuming and inaccurate manual calibration checks, allowing maximum productive time and an unprecedented level of in field accuracy.

The EDW weigh-cell system maintains constant output irrespective of fluctuations in air humidity or changes in fertilizer weight per liter. The hopper is mounted on 4 weigh-cells, these continuously monitor the changing weight of fertilizer in the hopper (blue line).

The dynamic weighing process accurately re-calibrates (red line) the machine continuously during spreading, according to the actual flow characteristics for the material being spread at that precise moment in time.

Vicon ProFas
Vicon ProFas is an affordable precision farming system that can be used to operate the EDW spreader based on variation within fields like yield variation and variation in soil conditions. The office software is used to work on field maps. The data cards and data card readers, connected to a GPS receiver, upgrade the EDW weigh-cell spreader to a variable rate application machine.
