  • Page 42: Using The Distribution Charts

    DISTRIBUTION CHARTS The distribution charts have been compiled with extreme caution, at VICON’s Test Center in Nieuw-Vennep (Netherlands), especially for the Distributor ROTAFLOW NOGUEIRA, designed for the fertilizer types listed in this manful, in the following working widths: 10 - 12 - 15 -18 - 20 - 21 - 24 meters.
  • Page 43 DISTRIBUTION CHARTS (continuation) Place the granule all over the compartment, behind the sieve with the largest mesh (4.75). Agitate the box until the smaller granules fall on the next compartment. Hold the box so that the fertilizer is leveled in the several compartments and with the marks facing towards you.

  • Page 44: Tractor Speed Incompatible With The One Required

    DISTRIBUTION CHARTS (continuation) Example: Granule size: 0-30-70-0 Density: 1.0 Kg/l. The table shows that in this case the best choice is NPK 17-17-17, Hydro Agri. Suppose you want to distribute 300 kg/ha of this fertilizer, at a working width of 21 m and speed of 8 km/h.
  • Page 45 TRACTOR SPEED INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE ONE REQUIRED (continuation) After calculating the FLOW (kg/min), it’s possible to calculate the APPLICATION RATE (kg/ ha), using the following equation: APPLICATION RATE = FLOW X 600 WORKING WIDTH X TRACTOR SPEED For example, suppose the result from the calibration test is 68 k/min, the distribution width is 21 m and the tractor speed is 8 km/h.
