The RotaFlow Spreading System Applied on the Disc Spreader Range

1. Soft Acceleration If fertiliser is not treated in a soft way by the spreading system it can break and this has a negative influence on the spreading pattern. Due to the stable release point on the Vicon spreader, the acceleration of the fertiliser is soft which means no fragmentation, no dust and no negative wind influence on the spreading pattern. 2. Overlap The RotaFlow system, with 8 vanes per disc, ensures a continuous flow of fertiliser to the field. It takes care of a precise spreading pattern with a perfect overlap, even with high flow rates, high driving speed and less negative wind influence. Vicon RotaFlow RO fertiliser spreaders have one distinctive feature: the RotaFlow spreading system. This initial smooth acceleration of the fertiliser prevents fragmentation of the granules due to the impact of the vanes. The adjustable discharge point allows adaptation of settings of the physical fertiliser properties. Due to the gentle handling of the fertiliser the spreading characteristics of the product are maintained. The RotaFlow spreading system is designed for the optimal spreading result!

3. Stable Release Point Vicon spreaders do not drop off the fertiliser on the vanes, but instead release it from the pre-chamber on the vanes where both have the same speed, which means no fragmentation of fertiliser. The benefit is a precise spreading pattern in flat conditions, but also, especially in hilly conditions. Two vanes per disc Poor fertiliser distribution on slopes is caused by the continuously changing the contact point on the vanes.

FlowPilot: Easy Setting and Adjustment The compact FlowPilot ‘dashboard’ on each spreading disc gives you a considerable simplified accurate setting and adjustment of the application rate, discharge point and fine application rate. Two hydraulically operated metering plates, each with three discharge openings, ensure an equal fertiliser flow from the hopper to the spreading discs. “ Eight Vanes per Disc - the Vicon Standard"

Perfect Spreading Pattern with an Optimal Coefficient of Variation An important factor for an optimal spreading pattern is the coefficient of variation (CV). This is the percentage of deviation of the spreading pattern compared to an uniform distribution. The evenness of the transversal distribution for fertiliser spreaders shall be such that the calculated value of the CV, when driving to and from, does not exceed 15% calculated in accordance with EN 13739-2 (SOURCE: NEN-EN 13739-2 (EN)).

GEOSPREAD® for High Precision Spreading

Spreading is all about precision and getting the best yield from your crop. Optimal spreading of fertiliser means using exact amounts of nutrition and avoiding overlap. New opportunities helping you to optimise your income and growth are central focus points. Weather and field conditions are changing continuously, so skills, experience and smart farming systems are decisive factors. Vicon spreading solutions help you to work in an easier and more profitable way. These innovative solutions support a better harvest and increased crop yield, because every crop deserves the best care.

Volume and Working Width The RO-M GEOSPREAD® and RO-EDW GEOSPREAD® models cover all hopper volumes (1100 - 3900 litres) and working widths (10 - 54 metres) demanded in modern agriculture. The RO-XXL GEOSPREAD® (12-45 metres) enables farmers to increase working speeds and maintain optimal accuracy.

Intelligent Disc Control The RO-EDW/RO-XXL GEOSPREAD® iDC offer the next step in precision spreading, especially in border spreading. The need for border spreading is increasing due to larger working widths and restriction in legislation. The iDC has a different RPM speed on the left and right hand side disc. This means that the outer disc can be reduced to an optimal speed for border spreading and the speed of the inner disc is optimised for full field spreading.

Weighing Vicon GEOSPREAD® models adjust the application rate (kg/ha) to the driving speed of the machine. The weighing system ensures a correct spreading rate in extreme conditions like hilly or bumpy situations thanks to the weighing system with 4 load cells, reference sensor and automatic calibration system.

GEOSPREAD® Section Control The Vicon GEOSPREAD® system gives farmers the opportunity to reduce the spreading pattern in sections of 1 metre with highest accuracy. Sections are controlled by changing both the position of the fertiliser discharge point on the disc and the flow rate of the fertiliser. As the disc speed is constant during Section Control, the overlap between both discs is not effected to prevent variations in the spreading pattern and in addition, sections can be switched on and off very quickly. In contrast to other systems Vicon GEOSPREAD® is able to apply 6 types of Section Control while maintaining an optimal coefficient of variation. This prevents overlap and ensures a homogeneous distribution in the field. • Switch off outside sections left or right hand side • Switch off outside sections left and right hand side • Switch off middle sections, spreading left or right • Switch off middle sections, spreading left and right

GEOPOINT® Headland Management The fertiliser type and the spreader settings determine the GEOPOINT®, the point where fertiliser drops on the field. The GEOPOINT® is used to determine the right moment when the spreader is activated while leaving the headland. During manual operation, the spreader is often activated too early which results in overdosing on the headland. The total savings on fertiliser by GEOSPREAD® Section Control in combination with speed related spreading and GEOPOINT® headland management can go up to 15%. GEOPOINT® Determine The Right Moment"

For More Savings and Added Comfort

Basic Section Control To maximise output and business, there is the possibility to get Basic Section Control software on the Vicon weighing spreaders. On a standard weighing spreader, the working width can be divided into 1 left and 1 right hand side section - to only shut off half of the working width. The principle of Basic Section Control is based on an even number of 4 metre sections. For example, when spreading on 24 metres with 6 sections or 36 metres with 8 sections. All models are equipped with one electrical actuator on each spreading disc to control the application rate to provide maximum use of nutrients to the grass or crops. The Basic Section Control software adjusts the dosing system by a GPS positioning system to optimise overlap and coverage with a minimum over and under dosing. This results in a better yield and a reduction of costs. The SPREADERcontrol license is needed to do Basic Section Control.

The Vicon RO-M EW and RO-EDW weighing spreaders are standard ISOBUS compatible and equipped with a weighing system with automatic calibration for automatic adjustment of the fertiliser flow in extreme conditions. Furthermore, the weighing spreader models are compatible with GEOPOINT® headland management, Basic Section Control and left/right Variable Rate Application for optimal fertiliser dosing and placement. Vicon weighing spreaders combine comfort, dosing accuracy and high tech fertiliser spreading.

Variable Rate Application The RO-M EW and RO-EDW are compatible with Left/Right Variable Rate Application. With this feature, two rates of fertiliser can be applied in one pass. This feature combines perfect dosing and fertiliser placement which results in fertiliser savings and optimal crop fertilisation. For even more precision, MULTIRATE applies multiple rates within a working width. For doing MULTIRATE a license is needed.

Weighing The RO-M EW is equipped with a single weighing cell. The weighing system on the RO-EDW exists of 4 weighing cells positioned at the corners of the hopper. All weighing spreader models are equipped with a reference sensor which automatically corrects the measurements for slopes, shocks and the inclination. The weighing system with automatic calibration compares the actual fertiliser flow with the expected fertiliser flow (based on the area covered) and adjusts the dosing automatically in case deviations occur. This feature will help to prevent over and under dosing, which will result in better yields and saving of fertiliser.

Capacity and Control Adjusted to Your Needs

Compact and Complete The RO-C is the most compact spreader in the range, but features all elements of the RO spreader line. This model has a hopper volume of 700 - 1400 litres and a working width from 9 - 21 metres. The working width is determined by the vane length. The 4 vanes can be detached easily, also for a static calibration test. Application rate adjustment from the calibration position is easily accessible.

Capacity in Combination with Control The RO-C, RO-M and RO-XL are available as hydraulically controlled machines. These models are standard equipped with the RotaFlow spreading system.

Fits to the Complete Medium Segment

The RO-M is medium in size and volume (up to 2000 litres), but comes with the RotaFlow system as standard (with 8 vanes per disc) and can spread up to 28 metres which is very convenient in this segment of the market. To increase operator convenience, the RO-M can be equipped with most of the accessories, such as aluminium hopper extensions,

An Ideal Combination of Capacity and Control" “

High Volume, High Capacity The RO-XL, with volumes up to 3900 litres and a maximum spreading width of 54 metres, is the ideal spreader for high productivity. With dual PTO input shafts it is easy to always drive at the desired speed and in combination with the ‘slow rotating’ agitator system, the RO-XL can spread with high disc speeds to get a very even spreading pattern.

Spreading width

The Variation Coefficient (CV) of an optimal spreading pattern should be below 10%. This is only possible in a situation of no under - or overdosing and a perfect overlap of the spreading pattern.

VICON

BORDER SPREADING

Optimal Spreading Along Borders

One-sided Border Spreading Using this method of border spreading, the tractor is driving approximately 2 metres from the field border. This method of border spreading achieves a good result. The full rate is spread at the border and it is possible to reduce the leakage of fertiliser over the border to zero. This can be done by changing the position of the border spreading plate. There are two different settings for the hydraulic border spreading plate: Eco and H 2 O for different field situations.

Border Track Spreading Using this method of border spreading, the operator is driving in the first tramline and is spreading to the border. The distance to the border is the half of the working width. This is the preferred method for working in tramlines. The TrimFlow is adjustable for different fertiliser types and working widths. Leakage over the border is insignificant and full application rate is maintained to within 3-4 metres of the field boundary. There are three different settings for the TrimFlow: Yield, Eco and H 2 O for different field situations. Operation is easy, no need to leave the tractor seat.

Variable Rate Control for Even More Precision All ISOBUS compatible Vicon weighing spreaders can do Variable Rate Application as standard. For even more accurate application, MULTIRATE can be applied which means multiple rates within the same working width. This can be done with a Variable Rate Application map, where in combination with GPS, the fertiliser spreader changes its output automatically based on a pre-determined and place specific spreading rate. Another possibility is using the fertiliser spreader in combination with crop sensors to change the spreading rate continuously based on sensor input. For both types of variable rate control, the Tellus 700 and Tellus 1200 can be used to operate the spreader. Both ISOBUS terminals are compatible with ISOBUS compatible Variable Rate camera systems and/or can read ISO-XML or Shape (SHP) files.

FRONT-REAR SPREADER COMBINATION

Increase Capacity, Efficiency and Accuracy Front-Rear Spreader Combination

Vicon is offering the possibility to use the Vicon spreader range as a front-rear disc spreader combination. It will not only increase the total capacity up to 6000 or 7000 litres, but also the efficiency and accuracy will be increased by spreading two different applications in one pass. This results in saving time, labour and reduces soil damage.

Nutrition Accuracy The nutrition accuracy will be increased by spreading two different fertilisers in one pass. It is possible to apply two different fertiliser types with different physical properties, both with a correct setting to get a perfect spreading pattern. As a result, there will be an increased yield and cost savings on fertiliser. Maximise Capacity With a spreader in the rear and one in the front there is a perfect weight balance on the tractor. This means that there is less ground pressure, which results in less soil compaction.

On the ISOBUS terminal the front spreader can be selected and the correct setting can easily be entered. Section Control will automatically switch on and off sections on both spreaders to minimise overlap. With the Variable Rate Application on all Vicon weighing spreaders it is possible to automatically adjust the application rate separately from the front and rear spreader. For even more precision MULTIRATE applies multiple rates within a working width, independently from the front and rear spreader.

Increase Efficiency Different disc spreader models, with different hopper capacities, can be combined in the front and the rear. With two ISOBUS terminals connected efficiency can be increased even more. This is especially helpful, for example, in wet field conditions. In case there is no PTO shaft available at the front of the tractor, the central hydraulic driveline on the large GEOSPREAD® spreaders can be used. The TrimFlow border spreading device can be added on the left and right hand side for spreading borders and headlands.

FERTILISER TEST CENTRE

For an Optimised Spreading Pattern Fertiliser Test Centre

Vicon Spreader Competence Centre The Vicon RO disc spreaders are known worldwide for their reliability, ease of operation and outstanding precision in all conditions. This is the result of many years of practical experience, research and testing. A fertiliser spreader can only be set accurately for rate and overlap using the settings provided by the manufacturer. The Spreader Competence Centre is using the most modern technology available in hard and software, allowing the measurement of complete overlap patterns in 3D. Instead of only measuring the spreading pattern in one line corresponding to the working width, this technology creates a full pattern showing a complete 3D spreading profile of the fertiliser. To Suit Customer Requirements The 3D spread pattern is achieved using a spreader which is mounted on the test rig which rotates the machine through 280°. Continuous measurement at a frequency of 5 HZ over the 80 collecting trays, which are all individually equipped with weigh cells, provide the ultimate in testing accuracy. A single test run provides more than 30,000 measurements! The result is a very precise spread pattern analysis with a high degree of predictability for setting changes to suit different widths and application rates. This allows, faster testing of the various types of fertiliser, but at the same time results in using less fertiliser and improved quality for better protection of our environment. The 60m long test hall, with under-floor heating, maintains the humidity at 60 % which allows testing throughout the year; and can accommodate testing of spreading working widths above 54 metres. Improved Crop Quality on Headlands Also the GEOPOINT® of the spreaders is measured in the competence centre. A 3D cone shaped spreading pattern is produced and the centre of this spreading pattern of this cone is used as GEOPOINT® in the spreading charts.

Determine the Physical Properties for Precise Spreading

The key to precise spreading is matching fertiliser quality and litre weight with the spreading charts as closely possible. Vicon spreading charts website or SpreadApp guids and helps you to find the right settings to ensure consistent accuracy in all field conditions. Physical Properties The Vicon spreader allows you to quickly and easily optimise the spreader settings after measuring the actual physical properties of each batch of fertiliser. This results in a more precise configuration of the spreader and leads to a much more precise spreading pattern.
