6.4 Suction system – Fan
The suction system works by means of a fan,
which can create the vacuum inside the me-
tering boxes.
There are two dierent types of fan:
- MECHANICAL FAN
- PTO shaft’s speed: 540 rpm
(standard)
- PTO shaft’s speed: 1000 rpm
(optional)
- HYDRAULIC FAN (optional).
The fan’s suction power is measured using
the vacuum gauge (Fig. 6.25). Depending on
the type of seed, it is recommended to adjust
the suction power using the next table:
* The de-pressure values shown in the previous table correspond to standard seed discs (see
section 3.6 METERING BOX).
