A new electronic monitoring system for detecting blockages in pneumatic drills was featured by Kuhn Farm Machinery at Lamma 2012.
The KLS 128 pneumatic seed drill flow monitor, which incorporates sensors in each pipe between the distribution head and the coulters, is designed to detect and identify even partial blockages in any of the distribution pipes.
The system, which alerts the tractor driver of any blockage through a cab alarm facility, provides peace of mind and minimises any consequent cropping deficiencies.
The KLS 128 can be fitted to many of Kuhn’s pneumatic seed drills, including models in the Venta, Moduliner and Speedliner ranges.
