A modular meter roller for an agricultural metering system. The modular meter roller includes a first roller segment that couples to and rotates with a shaft to meter flowable particulate material. The first roller segment includes a body that defines an aperture. The aperture receives the shaft and the aperture defines a plurality of vertices. A first plurality of fins extending radially outward from the body. The first plurality of fins defines a first plurality of grooves in the first roller segment that receives flowable particulate material. A vertex of the plurality of vertices of the aperture is offset from a longitudinal axis of a fin of the first plurality of fins.

A modular meter roller for an agricultural metering system. The modular meter roller system includes a modular shaft that rotates. The modular shaft includes a first shaft section. The first shaft section includes a first shaft portion. The first shaft portion supports a first roller segment. A second shaft portion couples to the first shaft portion. A second shaft section supports a second roller segment. The second shaft section defines an aperture. The second shaft section couples to the second shaft portion by sliding over the second shaft portion. An end cap couples to the second shaft section. The end cap couples a first end plate to the modular shaft.

A modular meter roller for an agricultural metering system. The modular meter roller includes a shaft that rotates. A first roller segment that defines a first aperture that receives the shaft. The first roller segment receives and meters flowable particulate material in a groove via rotation of the shaft. A first end plate couples to the shaft. The first end plate blocks removal of the first roller segment in a first axial direction. A second end plate removably couples to the shaft. The second end plate enables an exchange of the first roller segment with a second roller segment and blocks removal of the first roller segment in a second axial direction during operation of the modular meter roller.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments of dual seed meters having a metering housing having first and second seed disks with a plurality of openings arranged along a curved path of each disk, wherein the disks overlap to form a convergence region such that seed traveling along the curved paths is delivered to a single point. Certain implementations also have a vacuum chamber defined between a first wall of the metering housing and the first and second seed disks and a seed chamber defined between a second wall of the metering housing and the first and second seed disks.

The invention relates to a device for metering a granular or grainy material in a distributor machine, comprising a housing; an inlet opening which is formed on the housing and through which a granular or grainy material can be introduced in the housing for metering; an outlet opening which is formed on the housing and through which the granular or grainy material can be discharged out of the housing after metering; a metering space which is formed in the housing in such a way that granular or grainy material in the housing can be moved from the inlet opening via the metering space to the outlet opening; a metering wheel which is arranged in the metering space on a drive shaft, and which is configured to meter the granular or grainy material supplied via the inlet opening; a mounting opening which is formed on the housing and via which the metering wheel can be exchangeably mounted in the metering space; and a mounting component which is detachably arranged in the mounting opening in a mounted position, and this in turn is arranged at least partially welded onto the housing, wherein the mounting component has a receiving unit for detachably receiving the metering wheel, in such a way that the metering wheel received on the receiving unit is mounted on the drive shaft when arranging the mounting component in the mounted position, and in such a way that, when detaching the mounting component from the mounted position, the metering wheel is forcibly detached from the drive shaft (6), such that the metering wheel can be removed from the metering space in this way and can be detached from the housing together with the mounting component. A distributor machine is also provided for distributing a granular or grainy material, such as seeds, fertiliser or grit.

A seeding system for seeding large and small seeds includes a plurality of dispensing apparatuses mounted on an implement frame each comprising a first furrow opener mounted and a second furrow opener spaced laterally from the first furrow opener. A singulating meter is operative to dispense the large and small seeds through a meter discharge. A first seed conduit is connected to the first furrow opener and the meter discharge, and a second seed conduit is connected to the second furrow opener and the meter discharge. A selector is operative in a large seed mode to maintain the connection of the first seed conduit to the meter discharge while disconnecting the second seed conduit, and the selector is operative in a small seed mode to maintain the connection of the first seed conduit to the meter discharge while connecting the second seed conduit to the meter discharge.

A novel seed metering device which accommodates a large diversity of seed types and sizes by utilizing a rotating two crevice helical pattern in which individual seeds are channeled around two opposing rotors and dispensed singularly or volumetrically based on desired outcome. The two opposing rotors, each with a half set of creviced helical patterns, are adjustable to open and close in order to accommodate seed size and type. When the rotors are adjusted all the way in, the primary crevice is closed and the secondary crevice remains open for the smaller seed sizes to pass through and evenly dispense. As the rotors are adjusted out away from each other, incremental increases can be achieved in order to find the ideal crevice width to accommodate the seed diameter for singular or even disbursement.

A seed delivery system having a housing with an input opening at a first end and discharge opening at a second end. The input opening is adjacent a seed meter and is adapted to receive an or transport seeds from the seed meter to a first of a plurality of seed transport rollers disposed within the housing.

A pneumatic delivery system for particulate agricultural products includes one or more compartment for containing and supplying one or more particulate product. An inductor assembly separately receives and fluidizes the particulate products and conveys the fluidized products to a metering assembly. The metering assembly separately meters each of the product flows and transfers the metered flows to one or more delivery units for applying the products. The pneumatic delivery system can be used on various implements, including planters and applicators for applying seeds, fertilizer, pesticides and other products.

A system includes an agricultural metering system a meter roller configured to meter product from an agricultural product storage compartment to a product distribution system via rotation of the meter roller. The meter roller includes a first meter roller segment having a first plurality of flutes and a corresponding first plurality of recesses, and a second meter roller segment having a second plurality of flutes and a corresponding second plurality of recesses. The first meter roller segment includes a first profile, the second meter roller includes a second profile, and the first profile is different from the second profile. The system also has a dividing ring axially positioned between the first meter roller segment and the second meter roller segment.
