RotaFlow system - smooth acceleration of fertiliser FlowPilot for quick and easy adjustment Optimal spreading along bordersDescription
The RO-C is the most compact spreader in the range, but features all elements of the RotaFlow RO spreader line. The spreader comes with a shaker box as standard, to determine the fertiliser characteristics and quality. With the RotaFlow system and 4 vanes per disc, the fertiliser is treated in a gentle way and is spread in a triangular shaped distribution pattern with double overlap. The working width is determined by the vane length. The 4 vanes can be dismounted easily, also for a static calibration test. Application rate adjustment from the calibration position is easily accessible. The Vicon RO-C can spread from 9 to 18m as standard and optionally up to 21m.
Features
- No impact, no fragmentation, no dust: Central release point, smooth acceleration and centrifugal force accelerates fertiliser up to disc speed before it reaches the vane.
- Accurate spreading pattern: A double overlap spreading pattern gives unrivalled accuracy. The 8 vanes per discs are ensuring a continuous flow of fertiliser to the field. This is important for high capacity spreading and forward speed.
- Minimal wind influence, maximum tolerance: Flat discs and a horizontal flow of fertiliser give a symmetrical spreading pattern.
- Consistent spreading pattern: Eight vanes per disc, eight sectors per revolution give an equal distribution. Double overlap spreading pattern.
- Guaranteed accuracy on slopes: guaranteed accuracy on slopes. The fertiliser always contacts the vanes at the same point, also on slopes and travels the complete length of the vane.
- The RO-C is hydraulically controlled.
- The working width is determined by the vane length. The 4 vanes can be detached easily, also for static calibration test.
- Application rate adjustment from the calibration position is easily accessible.
- The key to accurate spreading is matching fertiliser quality and litre weight with the spreading charts as close as possible. The Vicon RotaFlow checklist helps you to ensure consistent accuracy in all field conditions.
1. Select fertiliser type
2. Determine granule size and distribution
3. Determine litre weight - Direct access to the most recent test results at: www.viconspreadingcharts.com or download the spreading charts application via the App Store or Google Play
- Vicon offers the border spreading plate or tramline cylinder for border spreading with the RO-C.
- With one-side boundary spreading the tractor is driven approximately 2 metres from the field border.
- With boundary track spreading the tractor is driving in the first tramline and is spreading to the border. The distance to the border is the half of the working width.
Vicon Spreader Competence Centre
The Vicon RotaFlow disc spreaders are known worldwide for their reliability, ease of operation and outstanding precision in all conditions. This is the result of many years of practical experience, research and testing. A fertiliser spreader can only be set accurately based on the physical properties of the fertiliser and using the corresponding settings provided by the manufacturer.
The Spreader Competence Centre is using the most modern technology available in hard and software, allowing the measurement of complete overlap patterns in 3D. Instead of only measuring the spreading pattern in one line corresponding to the working width, this technology creates a full pattern showing a complete 3D spreading profile of the fertiliser.
