FEATURES & BENEFITS


 

METERING AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

Precision for even application


 

TURBO ROTAL

The Turbo Rotal system is an innovative solution for an issue that affects all drills especially when using long seed pipes at wider working widths. It consists of a spinning impeller located in the centre of the distribution head that promotes more uniform distribution of the seed to the individual outlets.

Even distribution for uniform application (JET-X ONLY)

This improves the consistency of seed volume delivered to each outlet by 50% which, coupled with Alpego attention to detail throughout the other elements of the metering and distribution, provides market leading accuracy.


 

DOSAL

Accurate high capacity metering.

Stainless steel metering unit suitable for large and small seeds and Fertiliser.

The Flexible DOSAL metering unit is designed for maximum volumes alongside precision for small seeds. It utilises an adjustable metering roller and adjustable gears to achieve unbeatable accuracy with small and large seeds as well as fertiliser.

FERTIDRILL SYSTEM

The ASPRO and ASMAX Fertidrill multifunctional front hoppers are made from stainless steel to allow metering and distribution of Seed and Fertiliser. Both front hoppers are designed to work with Alpego Power Harrows but can be customised by adding different distribution heads to allow them to apply seed or fertiliser in conjunction with other implements.

ASPRO

The ASPRO front hopper is designed for use in combination with a coulter bar up 6m wide for cereals or for distributing fertiliser when combined with different types of machinery (weeders, precision drills, cultivators etc).

ASMAX

The ASMAX is a multifunctional front hopper which can be used for simultaneously distributing seed and fertiliser up to 6m working width. In its single product configuration it is designed for sowing cereals up to a working width of 8m or for distributing fertiliser when combined with different types of machinery (weeders, precison drills, cultivators etc)


 

COMBI DRILL MODELS

The ASPRO front tank and seeding bar are designed to work on rigid RTEK & RMAX and folding DP, DTEK and DMAX power harrows up to a working width of 6m. The ASPRO front tank is also capable of distributing fertiliser and often sold as a solo unit to work in combination with other brands of machinery.
