Eco-Mulch "TP-Pressure Controlled" series seed tanks

Eco-Mulch "TP-Pressure Controlled" series seed tanks

Eco-Mulch seed tanks are used to distribute seed and/or fertilizer to seed drills or strip-till machines.
These tanks can distribute 1 or 2 or 3 different products at 3 different rates.

The "TP" tanks differ from the "DP" series tanks through a new metering unit, a pressurized tank and the option of adding a third metering compartment. Eco-Mulch TP seed tanks are manufactured in Nogent sur Vernisson, France.

Eco-Mulch chose the "pressurized tank" technology to convey the products from the metering unit to the placement units.

Frequently used in North America and Australia, pressurized tanks overcome the limits of the venturi, increasing the consistency, flow rate and conveying distance of the products and speeding up response between the metering unit and the placement unit.

The Eco-Mulch DP tank comes equipped as standard with two metering units. These consist of two sets of fluted rollers mounted side by side. A sliding hatch can block the feed to one of these rollers in order to reduce the displacement of each metering unit by 50%.

Three types of fluted rollers are available depending on the seed sizes and the flow rates required.

Thanks to the original design of these metering units, according to Eco-Mulch 2 to 5 amps are sufficient to run each electric motor.

The capacity of a TP tank is 1500, 2000 or 2500 litres. Each tank can be divided into 1/3 -2 /3 or 50% - 50% or 100%. Installing or removing the partition is almost instantaneous.

An electric motor controlled by an "Eco Trak" DPA drives the 2 metering units. If multiple products are selected with a partitioned tank, one motor per metering unit and per tank is required.

In practice, these new Eco-Mulch TP tanks stand out from competing tanks through a sealed tank lid, a sealed metering unit and the absence of a venturi.

NB: On the 2500 litre model, the customer can opt for a 3° tank and a 3° metering unit in order to handle a 3° product. This 370 litre tank fits into the 2° compartment of the tank.

As an option, a 100% stainless steel tank is available for fertilizers.
