CCS Description
CCS Seed Delivery acts as a tender to the row unit; it provides a small pool of seed at each row unit at all times to supply the meter. The CCS Seed Delivery system has two tanks centrally located for easy filling. Inside of seed tanks is an agitator shaft which prevents treated seed from bridging at the bottom of the tanks. A hydraulically driven fan (A) provides airflow for seed delivery. A plenum within the tank support frame distributes airflow to pressurize the tanks. At the bottom of the bulk seed tanks, there is a manifold. The manifold has one nozzle (B) for each row unit which pulls seed into the air stream and delivers to the row unit hopper. Inside the row unit hopper is a discharge elbow (C) which acts as the on/off switch for seed delivery. Seed flow stops when the seed puddle reaches the bottom of the elbow inside of the hopper. The airflow isn't great enough to overcome this restriction and the delivery process stops. The metering of the seed is still handled by a meter at the row unit to maintain consistent and accurate seed spacing.
