SECA SC1 Series
1. Increased Efficiency and Productivity
Faster Planting: A planter can increase planting speed by up to 300% over manual planting. For example, if manual planting covers 1 acre per day, a planter can cover 3 acres per day.
2. Reduced Labor Costs
- Reduced Labor Requirements: Using a planter can reduce labor requirements by 50-70%. If a farm normally requires 10 workers to plant, it may only need 3-5 workers with a planter.
3. Improved Crop Yields
- Better Germination Rates: Precision planting can increase germination rates by 10-15%. For example, if germination rates are 85% with manual planting, they can increase to 95-100% with a planter.
4. Time Savings
- Shorter Planting Season: Reducing planting time by 50% means that if manual planting takes 20 days, it can be reduced to 10 days with a planter.
5. Reduced Operational Costs
- Lower Fuel and Maintenance Costs: Planters can reduce fuel and maintenance costs by 20-30% due to more efficient operations. These costs can drop from $100 per acre manually to $70-80 with a planter.
6. Improved Crop Management
- Precision Farming Integration: Farmers using precision farming can see a 5-15% increase in yields thanks to optimized planting and resource utilization, including planters.
7. Consistency and Quality
- Better Crop Growth: Improved consistency in planting depth and spacing can increase overall crop quality by 10-20%. Higher quality products are often sold at higher prices, which can increase revenue by a similar amount.
8. Risk Reduction
- Weather Adaptation: Faster planting means better utilization of optimal weather conditions and can reduce the risk of crop loss by 15-25%.
Increased Overall Profit
By combining all of these factors, using an onion-garlic planter can increase overall farm profitability by 20-40%. For example, if net profit from a crop using manual methods is $100,000, that profit can increase to $120,000-140,000 using a planter.
These percentages are based on industry averages and actual results may vary depending on specific farm conditions, machine efficiency and management practices.
With the help of belts rotating on two pulleys, it takes the seeds from inside the storage and drops them into the furrow opened by the axe from inside the outer casings. The axes that open the furrow are connected to the unit. The units have a parallelogram system. (For SC1 model) It works according to the low and high conditions of the field. There is a gear option to adjust the seed intervals on the row. (It can be adjusted as 4-6cm, 6-8cm, 8-10cm.) The seed storage can be tilted forward and backward with the help of a piston. The benefit of this system is that when small seeds are planted, the storage is tilted back to prevent excessive seeding. In large seeds, it is tilted forward to prevent the seed from falling over the scoop (spoon). Seeds Planted: Garlic separated into cloves, onion shallots, tulip bulbs
