Elvorti Altair 5.6

Engineering Solutions of Altair 5: Focus on Precision

The Elvorti Altair 5 pneumatic seeder addresses the modern farmer's demand for seeding stability at high speeds. Its design is based on a modular principle, where the key element is the seeding unit with a double-disc coulter, providing controlled ground pressure of up to 100 kg. This is critical for achieving precise seeding depth in both minimum and conventional tillage systems.

Metering and Distribution System

The heart of the seeder is the fluted metering unit made of corrosion-resistant polymers. This choice minimizes friction and prevents seed damage. The sectional design of the rollers allows for uniform seed delivery even with seeding rates ranging from 1.5 to 400 kg/ha, making the machine versatile for a wide range of crops—from small seeds to cereals and legumes.

Chassis and Terrain Handling

The Altair 5 frame is engineered to withstand high dynamic loads. High-strength profile pipes maintain the unit's geometry even in uneven fields. The transport width complies with general road standards, saving time during transit. The pneumatic seed delivery system is equipped with a turbine driven by the tractor’s PTO, ensuring stable pressure within the distribution system, even at significant working widths.

A major advantage is the inclusion of depth- and pressure-adjustable press wheels. This ensures optimal seed-to-soil contact, creating a capillary effect that promotes fast and uniform germination, even when topsoil moisture is limited.
