Flexi-Coil has always been at the forefront of air
delivery technology. Every Flexi-Coil air cart is designed to provide
you with accurate metering and efficient operation.
Easy
Flow header can significantly
increase yields. It not only improves product flow, but it also gently
guides fragile seeds through primary and secondary lines. When seeding
sensitive pulses, the Easy Flow Header greatly reduces scarring or
cracking for better germination and higher yields.
How does it work? The header's reverse teardrop shape virtually eliminates
impact points from the air delivery system. The Easy Flow Header is
simple to clean and check, and the molded plastic design includes
spring clips for easy inspection and service.
Optical Flow sensor allows seed
and fertilizer to flow more smoothly through the air distribution
system. This Flexi-Coil non-contact flow system uses optical sensors
to monitor product flow in the seed tubes. The non-contact flow sensor
helps product flow smoothly and reduces seed and fertilizer blockage
caused by the sensor itself.
The Optical Flow sensor is the same size and is fully compatible with
existing harnesses, except for the gateway harness. The gateway harness
for the Optical Flow sensor has an RS 232 connection instead of the
RS 485. New gateway and flow remotes are required to run the system.
The FlexControl® display interface for the Optical Flow sensor
system is the same as the original pin sensor system. When the system
is mounted and connected, FlexControl will recognize the optical system
when it is powered up.
Rollers
Extra-fine rollers are used
for application of small diameter products at low rates. Fine rollers are used for most applications including
cereal grains and for metering moderate rates of fertilizer. Coarse rollers are used for large seeds and
the application of high rates of fertilizer. Extra coarse rollers are used for very large,
fragile seeds and the application of very high rates of fertilizer.
Segmented meter rollers. Flexi-Coil
offers two choices in segmented meter rollers. Offset flutes allow continuous metering of very
small or very large products at extremely low rates. Segmented versions
make mechanical drive metering systems easier to set because they
operate at faster speedseven at lower rates.
Air
velocity is easily adjusted by using either the in-cab monitor
or adjusting the handle on the air plenum. For initial settings, use
the velocity charts. Then fine-tune the settings using actual seed
weights.
The auger works fast to fill or
empty the air cart. A brush flighting kit is available for gentle
seed handling of sensitive crops.
A Flexi-Coil air cart can be handled easily
by one persona major time saving feature.
Flexi-Coil down draft metering design
features four significant innovations that improve accuracy:
An agitator bar prevents bridging and allows
consistent density and supply
of product to the meter roller.
Product that is divided into equal sections—one
for each primary line in the distribution system.
Air and product are mixed in a parallel flow
for a smooth transition from the meter box to the distribution
system.
Uses Type B draft metering.
Add optional FlexControl to keep informed of your seeding system's performance.
