horsch FOCUS ST - Rape Brushes; Coarse Seeds

Rape brushes
The rape brushes clean the cell discs in the
rollers for 󰘰ne seeds.
Before sowing 󰘰ne seeds the rape brushes must
be installed in the side cover and their function
must be checked.
Rape brushes assembled
¾ Check concentricity and fastening.
¾ Check condition and cleaning e󰘯ect of brushes.
¾ Install the side cover with the brushes into the
metering unit.
¾ The brushes must 󰘰rmly rest against the cell
discs and should rotate with the roller
The function and cleaning e󰘯ect of the
rape brushes must be checked before
starting sowing and at regular intervals
during work.
Sticking cell discs cause metering errors during
sowing Less seed is metered.
The side cover with the rape brushes can be
removed even when the seed hopper is full.
Sticking cell discs can then also be cleaned in
assembled condition.
The rape brushes should be disassembled when
sowing normal seeds. The housing holes must
be closed.
Coarse seeds
For sowing coarse seed (maize, beans, peas,
etc.) one must use the metering unit.
¾ A de󰘱ector must be installed instead of the
rape brushes.
This de󰘱ector prevents large seed grains from
getting caught between rotor and housing,
being crushed and thus blocking the rotor.
De󰘱ector
¾ For very large grains you may install an
adapter frame. For large grains this eases
the entry into the metering unit and prevents
grains from being damaged.
