New from SystemsOne the leader in “Gentler on the Seed”  Bulk Seed Handling Equipment

The MaximizerTM Bulk Seed Conveyor is the perfect solution to keeping big planters rolling. Utilizing an 8” Z-top conveyor belt, seed gently speeds along making seed refills fast and extremely efficient. In addition belt conveyors are gentler on the seed, last longer and require less maintenance than auger bulk seed handling equipment.

On board capacity of up to 4 Seed Boxes provides ample seed supply to plant several acres speeding up the planting process. Another real benefit of the MaximizerTM is one-person operation, which helps to reduce the spring labor crunch. All that is required of the operator is to simply direct the seed discharge chute and turn the seed flow on and off, the MaximizerTM does the rest. Seed flow control is conveniently positioned on the seed discharge chute for easy operation and operator comfort. In some operations the reduction of labor costs alone could offset the investment in a MaximizerTM.

Utilizing an all steel welded frame design the MaximizerTM is built for years of reliable service. Mounted inside the center of the frame directly under the seed boxes is a horizontal belt conveyor, which moves the seed to the inclined unloading conveyor. This eliminates having to raise the seed boxes for adequate seed flow resulting in a lower center of gravity. Both conveyors have easy access for 100% clean out to eliminate seed cross contamination, a critical element when planting multiple varieties. A high torque 8 hp engine with electric start and gear reducer provides the power to drive both conveyors. A small compact self contained hydraulic power unit is used to drive the horizontal conveyor, plus raise and lower the unloading conveyor. The adjustable inclined unloading conveyor can pivot 180° plus reach out 16 feet to help speed refilling. In addition, the telescoping seed discharge chute increases the length of reach to avoid having to reposition during refilling. The hydraulic adjustable height feature lets the unloading conveyor be easily raised to accommodate filling bulk seed central fill systems offered on several makes and models of planters.
