摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for metering granular material such as seeds, fertilizer or the like, in particular within a spreading or sowing assembly of a spreading or sowing machine (10), and to a corresponding metering device (34). According to the method, the granular material, which is borne and conveyed by an air stream (26) and/or by the kinetic energy of the material, is conducted through a feed line (38) into a metering assembly (40), guided there in an approximately arc-shaped profile and conducted tangentially into an output line (44, 50), which is connected to the metering assembly (40) and is slightly curved in profile, at least in some sections. The granular material that is conveyed and metered virtually equidistantly and/or uniformly in an outer region (56) of the curved output line (44, 50) is borne by the discharged air stream (46), at least some of which exits the metering assembly (40) through the output line (44, 50). |
