Whether they are line seed drills for cereals, pneumatic precision drills for corn and soybeans, or machines for horticultural crops, sowing precision must always be ensured, even when operating at the high speeds typical of advanced industrial processes on extensive areas. By combining precision and speed, it is possible to minimize production times and costs while safeguarding the quality of the sowing itself.
This focus on precision and efficiency was at the heart of the innovations presented by MaterMacc at Eima, particularly in its product line of seed drills. These included two models designed for corn and other crops requiring pneumatic precision machines: the “Ms 8230 Super Elektro” and the “Ms 9100 Front Folding Elektro”, as well as the “Mso” and “Mso Duo”, which are specifically tailored for horticultural crops.
12 Rows, Nine Meters Wide
The MS 8230 Super Elektro offers a working width of up to nine meters, with a total of 12 sowing units capable of operating at row spacings ranging from 45 to 75 centimeters, thanks to variable hydraulic adjustment. The seed transmission system is managed by an electric system, ensuring maximum sowing precision while eliminating potential slippage. Additionally, the electrical system is autonomous and battery-free. Thanks to its high performance, it allows the sowing units to operate at speeds of up to 12 kilometers per hour.
A fully electric solution, the MS 9100 Front Folding Elektro operates on an eight-row architecture with sowing units mounted on a hydraulically front-folding frame. It incorporates a hydraulically operated telescopic drawbar, significantly enhancing maneuverability, especially when turning at the end of the field. These machines can operate at speeds of up to 14 kilometers per hour and are noted for their versatility, performing effectively on stony or challenging terrains, whether using traditional tillage methods, minimum tillage, or direct seeding.
MaterMacc seeders, precision for Horticultural Crops
Designed for horticultural farms and characterized by even higher precision standards, the Mso and Mso Duo seed drills are available in four different versions, depending on the number of rows required.
Precision Measured Seed by Seed
Like most machines offered by Matermacc, these models are equipped with the miPlus system, which monitors sowing quality in compliance with protocols adhering to Iso 7256/1, the specific standard for precision sowing. This system measures the percentage of missing or double seeds. In the event of anomalies, miPlus alerts the operator with an audible alarm while simultaneously highlighting the rows with sowing defects.
Operationally, the system can be managed via tablet, whether iOS or Android, using a wireless graphical interface that ensures seamless and user-friendly control.
