Evaluation of field distribution of fertilizer spreaders as well as control of both hardness and kernel sizes of fertilizer types to ensure decent quality in spreading application.
The fertilizer trays are used to evaluate the field distribution of fertiliser spreaders or other granular applications.
Trays are packed per 5 or 7 units, with inserts to prevent the kernels to bounce out of the tray during the test.
The trays are placed on the field at certain distances, perpendicular to the driving direction.
By driving over the trays while spreading the fertilizer, the kernels are being caught by the trays and the distribution can be determined. For very precise measurements, the trays need to be placed closer to one another.
The distribution in the field can be easily checked by pouring the kernels from the tray into the measuring glasses.
For a more precise scheme of the spreading patterns, more trays can be placed closer to each other along the measuring line and the content can be weighed.
A hardness tester is available to check the spreading quality of the fertilizers. Kernels that are too soft, will turn into dust after they get in contact with the spreader elements.
A fertilizer calibrator with grading sieves can be supplied to control the average size of the kernels (to be able to apply the spreader charts of the manufacturers) .
AAMS is a company that specialises in testing equipment for Agricultural machines and components, mainly for sprayers.
We have a very wide range of standard test equipment, but sometimes the standard equipment is just not suitable for the job you need to get done.
For those specific requirements, AAMS also offers you a special service to develop customized test equipment suitable for your specific application.
Because of our years of experience and many finished projects throughout those years, we are the partner that you need for the development and realization of test equipment that is perfect for your individual needs.
We will involve the customer as much as possible, from the first drafts all the way until the installation, so that together we can achieve the best possible result.
