The Solodisc is a versatile disc injector, ideal for high-precision spreading on all types of arable lands, and especially on meadows. Available with several working widths, it is made of a galvanised single-beam frame with free-steering elements. Each of them is fully galvanised and fitted with a pair of discs, with a 21.5-cm spacing, followed by injection cones. Thanks to the large diameter of the discs (Ø 406 mm x 19 mm), it can also work on stubble fields, young plants, and also on meadows. Its special feature is the adjustable working depth (max. 6 cm), which is kept constant by applying a continuous pressure on the linkage. For a more precise spreading, this injector can be equipped with a section control that, thanks to an ISOBUS control and a GPS system, locates the areas that have already been fertilised and automatically closes the appropriate injection hoses.
Structure and Working Principle
The Solodisc is made up of a galvanised single-beam frame with free-steering elements that are each fitted with a pair of discs (Ø 406 mm x 19 mm) followed by 2-position injection cones. The discs have a 21.5 cm spacing. As far as the injection cone is concerned, it is made up of a galvanised spout, an anti-drip pincer and a very flexible injection cone in profiled rubber. The ideal working depth is 3 cm. It can be adjusted (0-6 cm) and it is kept constant by means of the application of a constant pressure on the linkage. The pressure has simply to be changed by means of an easy-to-reach handle to adjust the working depth. This adjustment is usually made at the beginning of the work and is easily adapted according to the soil moisture and conditions at the time.
