The
NG Series has over 10 years of
Engineering Innovation and commitment
to customer satisfaction.
Here's just a few examples of how the
Monosem advantage adds up:
Monosem recognizes the need for every farmer
to achieve maximum results from the seeds they plant. For that reason,
we at Monosem Inc. concentrate exclusively on building precision
planters and supplying each farmer with a custom-built machine. From the
core of the machine to the options and accessories, each Monosem
planter is engineered to include the four critical factors needed to
achieve perfect planting every time, no matter what your planting needs:
1.) Accurate Seed Singulation
Each planter utilizes the Monosem vacuum
metering system, which holds the seed gently onto the holes of the seed
disc. The flat surface of the heavy-duty stainless steel seed disc
accepts a wide variety of seeds, whether irregular or round, coated or
uncoated, without any loss in accuracy.
2.) Accurate Seed Spacing
The Monosem metering box contains a single
adjustment lever that adjusts the height of the seed scraper and the
vacuum pressure at the same time. The scraper aligns the seed to the
hole and eliminates doubles and skips. As the seed disc turns, a brass
ejector block assures that the seed is dropped at a consistent angle,
reducing seed bounce inside the seed tube and resulting in precision
seed spacing every time.
3.) Consistent Depth Control
The double disc openers are flanked by
independent large depth gauge wheels that are engineered with an
equalizing rocker bar. This assures uniform depth control, even in
cloddy or rocky conditions.
4.) Good Seed to Soil Contact for
Consistent Germination
Monosem offers a selection of closing wheels
to give you the necessary seed to soil contact for good seed
germination in any soil conditions. The popular V press wheels are
independently mounted and are adjustable for shallow, medium or deep
planting.
Monosem takes pride in each custom built
planter, designed with these four critical factors in mind for the
ultimate in precision planting. Always accurate and dependable, Monosem
planters are engineered with you in mind-- for the best way to grow!

carrots in groups of 3 rows. This planter is also a popular
model for planting pickles. Using a standard NG Plus unit
with disc openers allows you to cut through difficult soil
in minimum or no-till situations.
|
The NG Plus row unit is durable, reliable, and easy to
use. Its many noteworthy features help bring you accurate results from
the seeds you plant-- for many years to come.
|
|
|
1.
Disengagement of metering box
Removal of a single lynch pin will disengage the seeding of the
unit, adding to the versatility of the planter unit.
|
|
2. Heavy-duty
parallel linkage
The parallel linkage is longer than the conventional linkage, ensuring a
smooth ride through the field and reducing the bounce
of the unit.
|
|
3. Safety clutch
The mounting bracket of the metering unit has a roller bearing with an
audible
safety clutch in case of blockage. This optional clutch also absorbs
the stress on the
drive and makes the seed disc run smoother, resulting in increased
accuracy.
|
 |
4. Depth control
knob
Easy to use handwheel sets the planting depth by adjusting the
height of the gauge wheels, and the setting is visible on the
adjustment scale. |
|
5. Stabilizer
springs
Sturdy springs absorb shock and help to stabilize the unit
in rough terrain. Optional heavy-duty down pressure springs also
available.
|
 |
6. Heavy-duty
double disc opener
The double disc openers has the thickest blade (4mm.) in the industry,
the heaviest hub (cast iron), and double-row bearing. This results in
longer life, less replacement, and less maintenance. The powerful disc
slices the soil, opening a straight seed trench. A firming point
attached to the frame and positioned ahead of the seed tube also acts as
a disc scraper. |
|
7. Independent
large depth gauge wheels
The gauge wheels are engineered with an equalizing rocker bar, allowing
the wheels
to move up and down independently while maintaining a stable center
point.
This stable point coincides with the seed tube drop, assuring accurate
depth
control even in cloddy or rocky conditions. Narrow or double gauge
wheels are
also available. Optional gauge wheel scraper can be mounted for sticky
soil. |
| The Vacuum
System The vacuum is created through the
turbofan, driven by a pto or a hydraulic motor. A lever on the metering
box allows you to adjust the vacuum level to the weight of the seed
being planted. As the seed disc turns, a brass ejector block assures
that the seed is dropped at a consistent angle, reducing seed bounce
inside the seed tube. The results are precision seed spacing every
time. |
|
Turbofan
Three output speeds available with PTO or hydraulic drive. |
The
Patented Monosem Metering Box
The patented metering box is the heart of the
Monosem NG Plus planter-- it doesn't skip a beat. Each component of the
metering system is precision engineered to ensure accurate seed
singulation every time you plant. There is no plastic used in this
critical part of the machine, only durable metal parts that won't warp
or easily wear. |
|
|
|
|
Adjustment Lever- The adjustment lever proportions
the air suction to the weight of the seed, and at the same time sets
the height of the seed scraper to the size of the seed. This unique
design (monosem patent) allows for a wide range of seedss to be planted
with one seed disc. |
Seed Scraper- As
the seed disc turns, an easily adjustable brass scraper ensures that
only one seed is accurately postioned on the hole of the seed disc. Stainless Steel Seed Disc- The flat surface of the
heavy-duty stainless steel seed disc accepts a wide variety of seeds,
whether irregular or round, coated or uncoated, without any loss of
accuracy
