DEVICE FOR PLANTING BULBOUS AND TUBEROUS PLANTS, IN PARTICULAR POTATOES

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) for planting bulbous and tuberous plants, in particular potatoes, comprising a storage hopper (5) for bulbs or tubers to be planted, a conveyor (13,14) comprising parallel rows of elements (15) for receiving bulbs or tubers from the storage hopper (5) and releasing said bulbs or tubers again, and a guide (18) for guiding the released bulbs or tubers to a common delivery opening (20). The conveyor (13,14) comprises at least three rows of such elements (15), and the device (1) is configured such that differences between the times of fall of bulbs or tubers from different rows are compensated by differences in the moment and/or the height at which the bulbs or tubers are released above the guide (18).
