Hydraulic pressure

To maintain a uniform drilling depth, VELOX is equipped with a hydraulic pressure system. Hydraulic cylinders ensureto apply to each line equal pressureregardless of changing field conditions. When combined with the Adaptive Weight Transfer system on the tractor and drill, up to 350 kg pressure per rowwhich is sufficient even under the most demanding conditions.

Seed dispenser

"Precision Planting Vacuum Seed Dispenser provides ≥99 % accuracy. It is a proven solution with reliability and high quality, suitable for metering a wide range of seed types and sizes. VELOX seed metering easy to adjust and maintain - The seed separator requires no adjustment and is equipped with a seed ejector wheel that clears the seed disc openings and helps prevent skips.

Micro-product hoppers and dispensers

Ensuring that plants are properly protected and have access to specific nutrients at each stage of growth is essential to ensure their development and maximum yield. Up to two micro-products can be applied in the furrow between the closing wheels or seed openers or on the furrow behind the closing wheels. Spraying insecticides to protect the seed, initial fertiliser to stimulate plant development and promote rapid plant growth. Each product is precisely dosed ISOBUS compatible electric motors with section or queue management, optimising cost utilisation, reducing waste and protecting the environment.

Hydraulic pressure system

Numerous studies have shown that, of all the factors, it is the uniform germination of seeds that has the greatest impact on yield potential. Plants that germinate at least a day later than others receive less light and nutrients throughout the season, resulting in a significant reduction in yield. Depending on the degree of unevenness, the yield loss of maize can range from 5 % to 22 %.

The main causes of uneven germination are uneven sowing depths and the ingress of plant residues into the furrow. It is therefore essential to avoid residues entering the furrow and to ensure a constant sowing depth - these two factors lead to uniform germination and higher yields.

As working speeds increase and the soil surface is uneven or compacted, traditional row section pressure systems often cannot cope with vibration and bouncing, leading to problems with uneven depth and seed placement, which directly reduce yield potential.

The pressure of the VELOX row section is maintained by hydraulic cylinders which ensures equal force for each row and allows you to maintain a pre-set sowing depth independent of changing field conditions.

The conveniently located one-point adjustment with pressure gauge allows you to quickly and accurately set the right pressure. With Adaptive Weight Distribution (AWT) system can be achieved up to 350 kg pressure per rowso no extra weight in the drill is needed.

Double disc tine design

SOLÀ's uniquely designed double disc tines feature an angle of just 9° between the discs. Such a low angle of penetration:

Reduces the need for horsepower.
Saves fuel costs.
Reduces line pressure requirements.
Reduces compaction of channel walls.
Ensures better seedbed formation.

Test results and practical use in a wide range of soils, climatic conditions and tillage techniques have confirmed that this the design ensures better and more uniform seed germinationwhich results in higher yields every year.

Narrow angle of double discs combined with hydraulic pressure control guarantees uniform seed placement depth and creates the optimal conditions for each seed to develop for the highest results.

Adaptive Weight Distribution (AWT)

Difficult soil conditions, direct stubble drilling, high working speeds and heavy attachments usually requires a higher clamping pressureto keep the tines in the soil. Traditionally, this has meant the need to increase the overall weight of the drill, but this leads to higher fuel consumption, a more complex design and additional operating and maintenance costs.

SOLÀ has developed a unique, market-first tractor and drill Adaptive Weight Distribution (AWT) systemfor three-point linkage drills. It is ensures uniform sowing depthregardless of speed or soil conditions, without additional counterweights.

The operator just needs to set the desired line section pressure and the system automatically apportions and transfers the required weight. When the AWT is switched on, the hydraulic cylinders, via a pulley system can carry up to 1000 kg the weight of the tractor on the drill frame, so that maximum downforce is maintained at all times.

The system works fully automaticensuring that the drill has the weight it needs to carry, without causing excessive soil compaction or additional power requirements. When needed, AWT can be disabledgiving additional flexibility and control.

Seed dosage

"The Precision Planting Seed Dispenser ensures ≥99 % accuracy and is one of the most popular and versatile on the market. Its reliability and performance have been proven in a wide range of seed types and sizes - maize, sunflowers, soya, oilseed rape, sugar beet, cereals, etc.

The Seed Dispenser is easy to adjust and maintain - the seed separator requires no regulation. It has a seed ejector wheel that clears the seed disc openings and helps prevent skips.

The VELOX is controlled via ELEKTRA system, fully compatible with ISOBUSthat meets the latest requirements of Precision Farming 4.0 and offers many benefits to farmers.

The seed metering units are driven by ELEKTRA stepper motors, ensuring wide range of operating speeds with high torque from very low revs and fast acceleration. This allows you to maintain high quality of dosing all over the field - especially after stops or at headlands.

Bunker system

Row sections are supplied as standard with large 70 l seed hoppersensuring sufficient runtime without frequent replenishment. The hoppers are sealed to prevent moisture ingress and have convenient locks to prevent accidental opening. For more information visit the lines are numberedfor easier replenishment and maintenance.
