GO BACK TO THE AREA OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTY MACHINERYInvention entitled ‘Section tine for soil cultivation and fertiliser spreading’ (Pat.222931/P.408167)
Description:
The object of the invention is a section tine for soil cultivation and fertiliser spreading designed for deep soil loosening for fertiliser application.
Unlike known constructions, the tine according to the invention ensures deep loosening of the soil without excessive uplifting of the soil on the surface and simultaneous application of fertiliser over a wide range of depths, including depths several times greater than the sowing depth of the crop. The individual working elements of the tine ensure soil loosening without excessive working resistance, as the foot that increases the width of soil loosening is mounted behind the narrow coulter and lifts the soil only on the sides of the tine shank, without pushing it forward. The fertiliser tube is securely attached to the shank and the foot, without the use of elements that increase the risk of clogging with plant residues, because the outlet of the tube is covered from above by the foot, thus demonstrating resistance to clogging with loosened soil, which in turn allows the fertiliser to fall by gravity.
Benefits:
- reduced working resistance of the tool,
- deep soil loosening without excessive soil uplift,
- ability to apply fertiliser at a wide range of depths, including several times the sowing depth of the crop,
- reduced risk of clogging the fertiliser duct with plant residues due to the innovative design.
Status of legal protection:
The technology consists of patent Pat.222931 granted by the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland, in force from 9 May 2014.
Property rights to the invention are vested 100% in the Łukasiewicz Research Network – Poznań Institute of Technology.
