MACHINE FOR BEDDING OUT SEED OR PLANT TAPES

摘要

A machine for bedding out seed or plant tapes includes a frame (4), where a bedding out unit (2) provided with a plough member (6) is mounted on said frame. The plough member is associated with a conveyor (9) with continuous belts. The bedding out unit is furthermore provided with a supporting plate (13) for a supply container (14) for seed or plant tapes (3) to be bedded out. The plough member (6) of the bedding out unit (2) is of a U-shaped cross section, and at the top the U-shaped cross section includes stabilising webs (7a, 7b). The plough member (6) is of a length (6) of at least approximately 30 cm and a width (b) across the U of 15 to 40 mm. The conveyor of the plough member (6) is a very inclined main conveyor (9) with two continuous conveyor belts (10, 11) arranged close to one another, but with a mutual adjustable distance (a). The main conveyor (9) extends across a major portion of the length (L) of the plough member (6). The supporting plate (13) is angularly adjustable, and two pressure wheels (16a, 16b) are mounted on the rear end of the machine for pressing down the earth around the seed or plant tape portion bedded out.
