2024 Monosem MS Base

2024 Monosem MS

This precision planter has been specially developed to help vegetable growers ensure their crops achieve their full potential.

The MS metering unit is fully compatible with a whole host of seeds including radish, lettuce, melon and endive seeds.

The MS planting unit is specially designed for planting vegetable crops. Its key benefits are excellent seed placement, consistent depth, outstanding shoot emergence, and ease of adjustment. Each unit is capable of planting a wide range of seeds with excellent results.

We have developed several versions of our MS unit, since all vegetable growers have their own specific requirements.

Just select your requirements to find the ideal MS model for you.

The MS metering units' planting system consists of a front gauge wheel to control depth and a shoe for planting.

When you choose Monosem, you can be sure of getting a top-quality product providing an optimal means of planting your vegetable crops.

Microsem's primary objectives are to nurture and protect seeds.

Distributing microgranules requires just as much care and precision as planting.

Our auger-based Microsem system ensures consistent distribution of insecticides, molluscicides and even fertilizers.

Microgranules are positioned very close to seeds, protecting them from pests and providing them with all the nutrients they require for uniform shoot emergence.

Features may include:

• The clod remover clears the way for the seed line, removing any clods or stones, while the gauge wheel presses the soil and controls depth.

• The shoe opens the furrow (or furrows) at a depth defined by the front gauge wheel. In the MS V version, the shoe is fitted with double opener discs that make it easier to work in more challenging conditions.

• The pressure-adjustable intermediate press wheel presses seeds to the furrow bottom for rapid and uniform shoot emergence.

• Scrapers (which are retractable if required) scrape fine soil over the seeds.

• The rear wheel closes the furrow around the seeds to ensure optimal germination. In the MS V version, two self-cleaning wheels close the furrow.

• The precision-machined bronze metering box body creates a perfect seal with the disc without any risk of static electricity.

• These 1mm thick discs are made of stainless steel. The agitator fixed to the disc strengthens the unit. Discs are easy to change tool-free. A full range of discs is available meeting all small-seed planting requirements.

• The bronze singulator prevents any duplicates. A spring on the cover holds the singulator perfectly in place against the disc for optimal metering, even with small seeds.

• The cast-iron cover is specially designed for planting with minimal seed reserves. A fibre seal ensures leak-tightness between the disc and cover.

• The metering system is highly accessible, both for adjustments and monitoring. A transparent window can be used for monitoring metering after the singulator.

• After seeds have dropped, a jet of air removes any dust and seed residue that may still be stuck in the disc holes.
