Page 27: Seed Wheel
LPV SEED TREATER SEED WHEEL The hopper is equipped with three proximity switches. The top switch controls the inlet conveyor and the lower switches, located in the seed wheel, control the pump(s). Refer to H-O-A Screen in section D. See the Proximity Switch Adjustment Guide in Section F for more in-depth information on these switches. -
Page 28: Seed Wheel With Atomizer Chamber
LPV SEED TREATER SEED WHEEL WITH ATOMIZER CHAMBER The atomizer chamber consists of a patented design which disperses treatment evenly to each seed. A motor drives the atomizer head at approximately 1725 RPM’s. As treatment is being pumped into the atomizer chamber, it drops into the atomizer head. The centrifugal force of the spinning head forces the treatment to be sprayed out through a screen covering in all 360 degrees. - Page 29 LPV SEED TREATER The Illustration below shows how seed passes through the atomizing chamber. The red represents treatment being dispensed to the seed as it passes through the chamber. After the seed passes through the atomizer, it goes into the drum where the coating process is completed.
