7.5 - Liquid Fertiliser System
WARNING: Operators must wear appropriate and suitable PPE when working on
the liquid fertiliser systems. This PPE should be in accordance to the manufacturers
regulations
The fertiliser system comprises of 3 parts. The in-furrow outlet tubes, Wilger Manifold & Fertiliser
tank with control system. The fertiliser system can therefore be specified according to the operator's
needs.
7.5.1 - In Furrow Outlets
7.5.2 - Wilger Flow Manifolds
The DSX Incorporates a mount into the rear of the seed
boot to allow for accurate liquid placement inside the
seeding trench. The in-furrow kit incorporates a plastic
tube to deliver the liquid and a stainless-steel mounting
bracket through which the delivery tube passes.
Wilger flow indicator manifolds allow the
user to visualise the flow of product to
each individual coulter outlet. The balls are
positioned in the sight glass depending upon
the flow conditions experience. If the ball is
resting at the bottom or is lowly suspended
it indicates there is a blockage between the
indicator and the outlet. If the ball is suspended
in the middle of the tube it indicates the
optimum flow rate of product. If the ball is
suspended higher, it indicates excessive flow or
a possible leak. Visualisation balls are changed
depending upon the Specific gravity of the
product being applied. The pressure gauge
indicates the optimal working pressures of the
unit (Between 1 and 8 bar)
