Exact seeding of different seed varieties

The seeding shaft is driven by an electric motor which communicates with various sensors (listed in the options). This ensures that the set seeding rate is accurately applied even when working different speeds. On machines up to 6 m / 19.7 ft. the air flow is generated by an electric double fan. For machines bigger than 6 m / 19.7 ft. working width a mechanical fan is used as standard (picture). A hydraulic fan is available as an option.

The right seeding roller for every seed

From the wide range of seeding rollers one seeding roller with fine and one with coarse toothing are part of the standard equipment. This guarantees that the appropriate seeding roller can be used for different seeds. Further seeding rollers (9 in total) are available. Special seeding rollers can also be offered.

Splash guard for exact distribution

The deflector plates are equipped with a height-adjustable splash guard to make sure the seeds are evenly distributed. The holder of the plate can be adjusted infinitely variable. In addition, the splash guard is fixed in a slotted hole so it can be adjusted to different types of seed.

Spreading of many seed varieties

Field bean, buckwheat, peas (x), fodder pro KM, barley, grassland pro B+NA, oats (x), clover, gold of pleasure, linseed, lupins, lucerne, poppy seed, oil radish, phazelia, rape, rye (x), red clover, turnip rape, slug pellet, mustard, soya bean, sunflower (x), soy vetch, triticale (x), white clover, wheat (x),. ..
Attention - not all seed varieties can be sown with the standard equipment. For all species marked with (x) the following options must be ordered: Mechanical or hydraulic fan instead of electric fan as well as retaining plate. For the P-BOX-MD a reinforced gearbox is also necessary. Ask your Einböck consultant for further information

Quick change of the seeding rollers without tools

The seeding rollers are installed in an easily accessible position and can be changed quickly and without tools.

Weather independent and accurate sowing through hoses and seeding roller

The seeding roller distributes the seeds into eight separated outlets. There they are transported pneumatically via PVC sowing hoses to the deflector plates which are adjustable in angle. In the over seeding method the seed is precisely distributed over the entire working width. In contrast to rotary broadcasters, seeding with the P-BOX system is insensitive to wind.

Electrical and mechanical drive monitoring

A sensor monitors the drive of the seeding rollers. In addition a yellow indicator finger shows whether the seed roller is turning. This way it can be continuously checked whether the electric motor drives the chain and  also the seeding roller.

Robust substructure
The seeding unit, constructed by Einböck and manufactured in-house, is designed for long life. Precise welds executed by welding robots ensure a perfect setup and smallest tolerance for years of trouble-free work.

Outlets can be adapted as required

The P-BOX-STI and P-BOX-MD are equipped with eight outlets as standard. But with special seeding rollers in combination with sealing plugs the outlets can be reduced. You can also use distributer heads for doublig the outlets (e.g. 16 outlets from eight sections). If a P-BOX is mounted for example on a 9 m / 29.5 ft. GRASS-MANAGER or AEROSTAR, you need a seeding roller with 6 sections, 2 sealing plugs and 6 distributors.

Simple mounting on Einböck implements and other brands

The seeding box P-BOX can be easily and simply mounted on many Einböck machines as well as on machines of other manufacturers. For Einböck machines there are also mounting kits and steps for filling available.

Stripper distance
A lever adjusts the distance of the stripper according to the diameter of the seeds.

Seed hopper 300 l
The standard seed tank has a capacity of 300 litres. A stirring shaft prevents the seed mix from separating and from bridging in the tank. (Optional: 500 litres tank)

Protected chain drive instead of belts

A large-dimensioned chain with tightener transfers the power from the electric motor to the seeding roller and the stirring shaft.

Types of fans
The air stream blowing the seeds to the deflector plates is produced either by an electric, hydraulic, PTO-driven or a special fan, which is
attached directly to the PTO shaft of the tractor.

1. Mechanic fan with PTO shaft (more than 6 m / 19.7 ft. working width)
2. Electric double fan 12 Volt (until 6 m / 19.7 ft. working width)
3. Hydraulic fan with oil pressure manometer (optional requirements: pressure free return line, maximum capacity of the oil pump must not exceed 50 litres per minute; recommendation: independent hydraulic valve or load sensing system)
4. Mechanic fan, directly attached to the PTO-shaft of the tractor (optional)

Second seeding roller
The 2nd seeding roller is safely stored in a storage box on the machine and therefore always with you. So the seeding roller can be changed quickly for different seed types. 

Rubber Sealing
The rubber sealing ensures the tank is properly closed - this is necessary for an optimal operation. The opening lid can be mounted with opening to the left or to the right.

Calibration plate and calibration pan

A calibration plate and calibration pan ensure simple and uncomplicated adjustment and calibration of the seed box. The parking position on the box guarantees quick accessability.

Monitoring window
A visibly placed monitoring window helps the operator to check the level of the seeds left in the tank at any time from the tractor cab.

Draining outlet with flexible drain hose

As the seed tank is often not emptied completely, excess seed can be drained from the tank via a flexible drain hose. By placing it directly above the seeding roller the tank is emptied almost without residue.

Dimensions P-BOX

The P-BOX tank including the base has the following dimensions: 
Height 104 cm / 41", width 92 cm / 36" and depth 65 cm / 26".
It can be attached to an machine by a plate with the following dimensions: 200 x 340  mm / 7.9 x 13.4" or 260 x 80 mm / 10.2 x 3.2"

Seed tank made of sheet metal

The tank of the P-BOX is made of sheet metal, which is environmentally friendly and cannot become brittle. Due to the excellent quality of the powder coating, the colour does not fade even after many years. In addition, the steel tank withstands shocks and can be easily bent out or repaired if damage occurs.

Plastic tank
Instead of the standard steel tank, a 265 l plastic tank can be installed. This corrosion-resistant design plastic tank is made of the highest quality materials and is thus extremely durable and unbreakable. 

Necessary speed sensor
Different sensors are available for speed detection.

1. Via the 7-pin signal socket the values of the tractor can be taken over (e.g. speed information and linkage signal come from the tractor)
2. Ground wheel sensor for support wheel (different versions depending on wheel and machine) - additional top link or linkage sensor required
3. The GPS sensor is mounted on the filling lid of the box to precisely determine the speed - additional top link or linkage sensor required
4. Sensor mounted on a following tail-wheel (different versions depending on wheel and machine) - additional top link or linkage sensor required (not shown)
5. Radar sensor - additional top link or linkage sensor required (not shown).

Various other sensors
Many other optional sensors are available for increased safety, efficiency and accuracy at work

1. Upper link sensor: the seeding shaft is automatically switched off when the implement is raised
2. Linkage sensor: the seeding shaft is automatically switched off when the implement is lifted (mounting example)
3. Airflow monitoring: this detects if one or more seeding hoses are clogged. In this case an acoustic and visual error message show up on the operating terminal
4. Level sensor: it warns when the seeds in the tank are coming to an end. This sensor works independently of vibrations.

500 litre tank
Seeding machines with a 500 litre tank are standard equipped with tank stabilizers, retaining plate and extra large filling opening (Attention: mounting on GRASS-MANAGER or various Einböck devices is only limited possible.)

Calibration button on the seed tank
A calibration button on the tank enables the calibration test to be carried out directly on the machine.

Retaining plate
For heavy seeds we recomment the retaining plate mounted above the stirring shaft and the seeding roller.

Tank stabilizers
Tank stabilisers are recommended when the box is mounted on implements with high vibrations during operation (e.g. disc harrows). These are fitted as standard on 500l tanks.

Mechanic jogging unit
A mechanic jogging unit can be installed to avoid bridging. This is only necessary for seeds that have a particular tendency to bridge.

Mounting kits and steps for filling for Einböck machines
For Einböck machines such as tine weeders, row crop cultivators, rotary hoe, rotive weeder, cultivator, grassland weeder, etc. a mounting kit including steps for filling are available. Due to the universal mounting bracket, the seeding boxes can also be mounted on many machines of other producers.

Area specific seeding with the "ProActive Sensor from Isaria"
To be able to adjust the seeding rate specifically to certain sub-areas (e.g. for grassland reseeding), the STI control is compatible with Isaria's ProActive Sensor. The two sensor heads of the ISARIA ProActive sensor system are integrated in the frame on the front hitch of the tractor. They detect and analyse the crop; on this basis the correct seeding rate for the respective area is precisely determined and adjusted by the STI terminal of the seeding unit.
