ValoTerra Ultimate SPEED IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE !

VALOTERRA ULTIMATE OPTIMAL EMERGENCE AT ALL SPEEDS

With its new brush-based seed guidance system, the ValoTerra Ultimate ensures optimal planting consistency and depth at speeds of 4 to 18 km/h, resulting in fast and uniform shoot emergence!

HIGH-SPEED PLANTING IS ONLY VIABLE IF IT IS FULLY CONTROLLED!

High-speed precision planters are perfectly equipped to meet requirements in terms of fertilizer output, crop diversity and performance at low and medium speeds.

With the ValoTerra Ultimate, speed is no longer a barrier to achieving optimal emergence :

 

 

TOP PERFORMANCE AT LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH SPEEDS
Planting speeds of 4 to 18 km/h are possible with the ASG system!

 

CROP DIVERSITY
The ASG system can be swapped for a chute to plant a wide range of crops.

 

HIGH FERTILIZER OUTPUT
The FertiSmart distribution unit can apply up to 450kg/ha!

Active Seed Guidance (ASG*)

THE NEW ASG SEED GUIDANCE SYSTEM HAS BEEN DEVELOPED BASED ON OUR ZERO-GRAVITY CONCEPT!

Our guidance system controls all stages of the seeds' journey, from the seed disc to the cellular loading wheel and finally, the conveyor outlet.

Back rolling is controlled, the seed ejection speed is proportionate to the tractor's working speed, and spacing in the furrow is kept consistent on both flat and uneven ground.

This means that speed is no longer an issue, since each seed is positioned precisely at speeds of 4 to 18 km/h.

* ASG Ready will be available for Wingfold frames from 2023. The ASG system will be available for purchase from 2025.

INSIDE THE INNOVATIVE ASG SYSTEM

innovation-asg

1: VACUUM-BASED METERING BOX

The vacuum-based seed metering system ensures planting precision and versatility.
The metering box is equipped with smooth discs, a patented insert and electric drive, all of which help increase precision at higher speeds.

2 : CELLULAR LOADING WHEE

Seeds are supplied to the cellular loading wheel, which then inserts them in the brush conveyor using a system of guiding rods.
The system only allows high-precision insertion of seeds in the brush conveyor, which conveys them to the furrow.

3 : POSITIVE DRIVE BELT

The brush conveyor belt is grooved to ensure optimal alignment, perfect rotation, and minimal wear.

4 : BRUSH CONVEYOR

The rotating brush conveyor guides seeds to the furrow at a rate proportionate to the tractor's working speed, eliminating any bumps and vibrations.
This is a precision solution ensuring accurate and consistent seed placement in the furrow.

Smart Access

CROP DIVERSITY IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE

Smart Access

 

  • The SmartAccess system offers exceptional versatility by allowing you to swap ASGs for chutes, so you can plant a wide variety of seeds.
  • Crops are changed by changing discs, which takes less than a minute per metering unit!

«Just change the disk ! »

As with existing systems, there's no need to remove any ejection wheels or pressure/vacuum adjustment grilles. Just change the disc!

AN INTERCHANGEABLE SYSTEM

It takes less than 2 minutes per row to switch from the conveyor system to the chute system!

FERTILIZER APPLICATION IS NO LONGER AN ISSUE WITH FERTISMART!

Fertismart

Limited fertilizer distribution capacity is no longer an issue with FertiSmart, the new fertilizer unit that pneumatically applies up to 450kg/ha from an 8-row planter (with 75cm inter-row spacing) at 15 km/h!

The FertiSmart unit provides optimum performance whatever the terrain, slopes included, even where demanding fertilizers are concerned.
