Seed Spider: Precision High-Density Seeding

The Seed Spider High-Density Seeding System, by Sutton Agricultural Enterprises, Inc., is a revolutionary electronic seed metering unit renowned for its accuracy and reliability in planting high-density crops. Enhanced with a digital controller mobile app for seamless control and data tracking, it sets a new standard in commercial planting technology.

Description

The Seed Spider High-Density Seeding System is an advanced seed metering unit that has been a revolutionary development in the farming industry since its introduction by Sutton Agricultural Enterprises, Inc. in 1999. The system is renowned for its superior efficiency in planting high-density crops such as spring mix and spinach. The Seed Spider planter outperforms other seed planters with its high accuracy, reliability, and value and has become the preferred choice among growers for planting high-density crops.

The Seed Spider Metering System

How it Works

The Seed Spider Metering System is a world-first in electronic seed metering. It comprises a 12-volt motor that drives a sponge rotor set within a vertical cylindrical metering plate. This metering plate features multiple channels in its internal wall, along which seeds are gently separated by the rotating sponge and carried to individual outlets.

The electronically controlled metering system allows seeds to be metered accurately without causing damage. It can handle a wide range of seed sizes, from raw carrot or lettuce seeds up to the size of a pea, making it incredibly versatile. The metering unit comes standard with 6 outlets, but interchangeable metering plates can provide options from one to six outlets.

The system also includes a seed hopper with a 1.8-gallon capacity, made from transparent plastic for easy seed-level monitoring. For easy maintenance, the seed hoppers come with a quick-release fitting for convenient emptying.

Quality Construction

The Seed Spider Metering System boasts high-quality manufacturing standards. Its components are built from stainless steel and durable plastic to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term reliability.

The Encoder Control System

The Seed Spider system has an Encoder Control System that differs significantly from the traditional EMF system. This electronic metering system is highly reliable and offers multiple advantages for commercial planting operations. The encoder controller is user-friendly, requires minimal skill to operate, and allows seed rate changes at the push of a button.

This system uses Bluetooth to communicate wireless between the encoder controller and motor drivers. It also features a motor RPM monitoring function, a warning system for motor function irregularities, and a GPS receiver integrated into the encoder motor driver.

Seed Spider Digital Controller Mobile App

The Seed Spider Digital Controller Mobile App complements the Seed Spider High-Density Seeding System. This mobile app lets users control the seed metering system and track historical seeding data. It offers fast and easy calibration, real-time fault detection, and web-based reporting. This allows growers to compare current and historical seeding information and gain insights to improve their planting processes. The Digital Controller App replaces physical controllers on existing Seed Spider seeders and comes standard on all new seeders.
