Manure Spreader

The GeoSpreader System is designed to control the distribution of manure and solid fertilizers. The system can be installed on manure spreaders and trailed or pulled-up fertilizer spreaders. get a quote

The system is available in two versions:

the BASIC system displays and records distribution data in real time,
the SUPERIOR version is capable of regulating machine functions like opening of slide gate vales to ensure effective material spreading in accordance with:

- Planned spread factor
- Homogeneity of material distributed in relation with ground speed of the machine

	BASIC Version	SUPERIOR Version
Real time visualization of spread factor	YES	YES
Hydraulic control of the machine	NO	YES
Manual / Automatic machine regulation (e.g. regulation of belt speed)	NO	YES
Measuring of machine ground speed with GPS antenna	YES	YES
Compatibility with Field Trace Software for: Data Acquisition, Printing reports, Cost traceability	NO	YES
Load cell connection (optional)	YES	YES
Connection with high-precision GPS antenna to control spreading accuracy on the basis of the prescription map	NO	YES

For installations on trailed fertilizers with belt, the GeoSpreader system have to be connected to the NPN impulse counting sensor installed directly on gearbox of the hydraulic motor that drives the belt. The sensor’s resolution should have not less than 600 impulses per shaft revolution. This sensor is supplied and installed from the manufacturer of the hydraulic motor.

Basic Version

GeoSpreader system (BASIC VERSION) monitors the amount of material distributed in a specific area (t/ha o t/ac.)
If the system is equipped with load cells, the spread factor is calculated through real-time acquisition of the remaining weight inside the machine.
If the system is NOT equipped with load cells, the spread factor is calculated on the amount of beater turns or on belt speed.

The indicator displays:

Programmed spread factor
Real-time spread factor
Weight of material inside the machine
Ground speed of the machine
Beater rotation speed
Belt speed

P1: sensor for measuring beater rotation speed
P2: connection to impulse sensor installed on the hydraulic motor that drives the belt. This sensor is not included into the GeoSpreader kit. The NPN-type sensor should have not less than 600 impulses per shaft revolution.

SUPERIOR VERSION

GeoSpreader system (SUPERIOR VERSION) same features of the BASIC Version plus:
- MANUAL/AUTOMATIC control of the belt speed or beaters.

If the system is equipped with load cells, the spread factor is calculated through real-time acquisition of the remaining weight inside the machine.
If the system is NOT equipped with load cells, the spread factor is calculated on the amount of beater turns or on belt speed.
The speed of the belt can be set MANUALLY by the operator (driver) or AUTOMATICALLY from the system to reach the programmed spread factor.

The SUPERIOR version is equipped with switches for activating the following hydraulic functions:

Open / close the gate
Moving forward / backwards the belt of the machine
Increasing / decreasing the belt speed

Switches on the indicator allow quick and effective control of the hydraulic functions of the machine. Up to 7 hydraulic double-way functions are available on request.

The indicator displays following information:

Programmed spread factor
Real-time spread factor
Weight of material inside the machine
Ground speed of the machine
Beater rotation speed
Belt speed

P1: sensor that measure beater rotation speed
P2: connection of impulse sensor installed on the hydraulic motor that drives the belt. This sensor is not included into GeoSpreader kit. The NPN-type sensor should have not less than 600 impulses per shaft revolution.
EVP: output of proportional valve control. The output voltage can be set from 0 to 10 Vdc. For actuating the proportional valve from 0 to 2,5 Adc the Proportional BOX is required.
