Belt planting technology from Grimme: 2-, 3- and 4-row The GB-Series (Grimme belt planter) box. Tuber placement is permanent- and always follows the soil outline of stands for the new generation of belt ly monitored by a counting unit and the bed. This ensures an even soil planting machines. The special design shown on the display. A specially designed soil guiding system under- formed ridge. From a plant cultivation a gentle handling of conventional and neath the machine is available for point of view, this supports an even chitted seed. The planting distance and planting potatoes in...

PLANTING ELEMENT PRINCIPLE A machine that has a lot to offer: the belt planting element During planting, the potatoes are first transfer web (3). The fill level in the corresponding machine settings. Excess planting element can be adjusted in an tubers roll off the side and are conveyed infinitely variable manner via the terminal. back in the direction of the coil roller (5) The finger feelers (4) control the constant by closed return belts (7). From here feed. For planting, the potatoes are The foam roller (10) provides for an even placement of the tuber in the furrow. The speed can be...

CONVENTIONAL RIDGE CONSTRUCTION Conventional planting CAGE ROLLER AND RIDGE SHAPING BOARD For the finished ridge construction, the GB-Series can be equipped with cage rollers (1/2) or with a ridge shaping board (3). For classic ridge construction, the GB-Series is equipped with furrow openers, the height of which is guided via feeler wheels. Ridge construction is carried out with the covering discs. Optionally, the machine can be equipped with a ridge shaping board or cage rollers. The depth guidance of the 2-row machines is controlled via a double roller feeler which runs between the...

RIDGE CONSTRUCTION IN SEPARATED BEDS The clever way to work With the bed planting method, potatoes are placed into a loose, sieved bed. The usual soil cultivation becomes redundant due to previous shaping and separating. To increase the performance, the trailed model is able to plant two beds simultaneously using the offset method. The Flow-Board has been developed specifically for the bed planting method. Curious? Request the Grimme separating technology brochure!

RIDGE CONSTRUCTION IN SEPARATED BEDS Depth guidance without feeler wheels Ridge shaping board Flow-Board with mechanical planting depth adjustment on the GB 215. For planting in separated beds: The Flow-Board with the DLG award. The furrow openers are integrated in the Flow-Board. The latter is suspended in an articulated manner in the parallelogram underneath the machine. With this, constant soil covering of the tuber is achieved. Depth guidance of the furrow openers is carried out via a mechanical link between the ridge shaper and the integrated furrow openers in the Flow-Board....

LIQUID PICKLE AND GRANULATE SLOPE COMPENSATION AND CHASSIS Plant protection from the word go Always a step ahead During uphill and downhill planting, the planting elements are always kept horizontal. Planting machine with covering discs The elements are always filled evenly. The discharge point into the furrow opener as well as the dropping depth of the potato is not changed by the slope compensation. UNIQUE Optionally, all furrow openers can be equipped for the simultaneous, but separate granular and liquid chemical application. Planting machine with Flow-Board It goes without saying that...

GB 330 – Systematic tuber size control with one additional row in the bed Contrary to the 2-row bed method, it is possible to plant more potatoes per square metre with the 3-row trailed Grimme belt planter GB 330. At the same time, the planting elements have retained the well-proven shape and dimension of the 2-row machines. The result is an even growth of the tubers and thus an increased quota of marketable commodities. Make the comparison yourself: three rows on the left, two rows in the bed on the right

The row width of the 3-ton capacity GB 330 is 42 cm. Depending on the type of potato, the centre row can be switched off, thus increasing the row distance to 84 cm. The track width is fixed at 1.80 m. The individually driven feed belts provide for an even loading of the belts with tubers. Level sensors above the return belts sent the impulse for continued filling. An important criterion for potato planting and in particular for the 3-row method is the even soil covering of the tubers. This is provided by the Flow-Board with hydraulic depth guidance that has received a DLG award. The result...
