Liquid fert option for Gason air seeders

09 Sep, 2008 02:09 PM
Gason's 2120/50 SR Series airseeders now offer a liquid fertiliser option using a 5000L, dual compartment tank along with two steel bins for solid product.

The liquid equipped models feature a robust dual compartment 5000L UV stabilised polyethylene front tank and conventional middle and rear steel bins for solid product.

This combination allows the application of both liquid and solid fertilisers along with seed.

The tank is self draining and can easily be modified to accommodate two separate products, further improving versatility.

A separate 500L trace elements tank is available as an option.

Each of the 2500L liquid compartments has two agitation nozzles to maintain difficult fertilisers in suspension.

A separate hydraulic circuit drives the liquid fertiliser pump.

All tank fittings are made from either high-grade polypropylene or stainless steel to handle corrosive liquids.

Buyers have the choice of either a fixed or variable rate injection pump.

Both seeders utilise the Gason designed VRT hydraulically driven metering system and side release meter boxes that allow easy cleaning and very quick changeovers and a choice of Farmscan and Kee controllers is available.

The hydraulic drive system has been proven over nine seasons of reliable service.

A major benefit is that it allows the manual setting of application rates in the event of an electronic controller failure, thus allowing farmers to keep sowing during critical periods.

Gason have designed the liquid equipped models to have adequate capacity for efficient seeding while still retaining excellent flotation to reduce soil compaction.

The liquid equipped models have the same standard features as the conventional models - excellent access ladder and between bin platform system, strong truss trailer frame and super efficient hydraulically driven fan.

Both machines can be fitted with all the standard options including high-capacity 9” filling and unloading auger, rear access platform and an air warmer kit that pre-heats air before it enters the distribution system.

A 500L freshwater flush tank and six work lights are standard.
