The most frustrating thing about current vac disks is that you are always guessing about your vac setting. Too little and you skip. Too much and you double. But your monitor only shows you an average population – so you can’t judge accuracy until your seed emerges.
With eSet, you set your vac for about 15” and you can plant any seed – even plateless – at 98.6% accuracy or better. If you seed is over 60# per 80,000 seed bag, use 18”. Size, weight, shape, treatments, humidity . . . doesn’t matter. And unlike early flat disk designs, you don’t adjust this singulator. It is designed to float and self correct so it is always in the right place at the right time.
We’ve learned that a lot of the spacing problems you’ve had with your vac disk comes from poor seed release off the disk. Celled disks force the seed to move horizontally before falling toward the seed tube. That means that vac shut off, static and seed position in the cell can alter the timing of the release. And inconsistent release timing means the seed tube ride is inconsistent . . . which means spacing is inconsistent.
The eSet disk is a simple replacement for your current vac disk. The package includes the disk, baffle, singulator, brushes and scraper. All of the components mount to your customers existing meter housing (1991 or newer) . Installs in minutes. And best of all, you can switch back to your bean disk or any other vacuum disk without removing any of the eSet components. Just remove the eSet disk, move one brush and mount your bean disk.
The raised platform on the new eSet vacuum disk is not sensitive to seed size or shape. And seeds release directly down the center of the seed tube. No adjustments of vac or singulator are needed for top-notch singulation.
We've developed this vent to filter the air moving into the eSet meter. By keeping debris out of the meter, it is assured a constant supply of fresh air, reducing dust and prolonging seal life.
