Multikorn SK

Engineering precision of Multikorn SK: details matter

The success of row crop planting directly depends on the machine's ability to maintain a set depth and uniformly distribute seeds at high operating speeds. The Multikorn SK model was designed specifically for intensive farming, where every centimeter of land must contribute to maximum yield.

The metering unit: structural significance

The core element of the Multikorn SK is its mechanical metering unit, known for its extreme reliability and ease of maintenance. Unlike pneumatic alternatives, this system utilizes direct seed picking, which minimizes shell damage—a crucial factor when handling crops of various sizes, such as corn or sunflower. The secure locking of seeds within the disc cells prevents gaps, ensuring uniform germination.

Adaptability to soil conditions

• Parallelogram suspension: Provides independent ground following for each section. This prevents over-depth planting on mounds and shallow seeding in depressions, maintaining consistent depth control.
• Closing system: Adjustable downforce allows the operator to adapt the unit to various soil moisture levels. This ensures proper soil-to-seed contact, initiating capillary moisture supply to the seed.
• Marker system: Hydraulic operation allows the operator to respond instantly to field irregularities, ensuring precise row spacing without unnecessary overlaps.

The practical value of these engineering choices lies in reducing operational costs. Thanks to the straightforward kinematics of the components, maintenance time is kept to a minimum. You spend less time on adjustments and lubrication, allowing you to focus on the planting process within tight agronomic windows.
