VALMAR Operation 4 - Operation Your 1665 Innoculant applicator is designed to efficiently broadcast granular pesticides and seed. The illustration below demonstrates how the system works. The 1665 uses a hydraulically powered fan (or an air seeder fan) to blow air through a manifold. The air accelerates as it passes through the venturis, picking up product conveyed into the venturis by the metering wheels. The product is then blown out through injectors into the distribution towers on the implement. All metering components are driven either by a mechanical ground drive system...
