Precision Rate Controller brings versatility for fertilizer application equipment
The Veris Precision Rate Controller, featuring Posi- RateT hydraulic drive technology, allows the operator to accurately set and control standard or variable seeding and fertilizer rates on a variety of row-crop planters, grain drills, and fertilizer application equipment. The Precision Rate Controller delivers pulse-free operation throughout a broad application range by means of a high-resolution motor encoder, with motor displacement accurately matched to drive torque requirements. Due to its responsiveness and smooth operation, the Veris cab console displays the actual shaft rotation output, useful for monitoring the entire drive system. Several safety features have been in order to prevent possible entanglement. A unique calibration feature allows the operator to choose the desired population, run the calibration routine, and quickly fine tune the population or application rate. Variable rates can be driven by Site-Mate or SMS software.
