New-generation Solitair
Pneumatic drill technology from LEMKEN has been long established under the name Solitair. With the Solitair 25 a comprehensively updated new generation is now standing in the starting blocks.
The most striking external difference in the Solitair 25 is the new plastic tank, which holds 3,000 litres and features an extra-wide inlet. However, there are also numerous innovations inside the new Solitair: each metering unit features a separate electrical drive, for example. The upgraded blower fan comprises a stainless steel gear, requires considerably less hydraulic power and operates substantially more quietly. As regards seed placement, LEMKEN has opted for the proven OptiDisc and OptiDisc M double disc coulter systems with depth control roller to ensure even placement depths.
The LEMKEN Solitair 25 provides a sectional deactivation as standard. Each part width section has its own metering unit that can be easily switched off via the respective electric motor. Separate volume adjustments can additionally be performed for each part width section.
The redesigned distribution system allows different tramline rhythms to be activated without making physical adjustments to the machine. The system is hydraulically controlled and requires no seed return at all. Consistently symmetric seed distribution combined with electronically controlled metering unit speeds reliably ensure even transverse distribution. Simple cartridge changes in the distributor moreover allow track widths and tramline row numbers to be adjusted or reduced with ease.
With all of the above changes, the upgraded LEMKEN Solitair still offers its trademark versatility. The Solitair 25 can be used in five different drill combinations on the chassis of the LEMKEN soil cultivation implements. Single-seed drills such as the LEMKEN Azurit can be mounted instead of a coulter bar via a three-point linkage. This remarkable versatility also makes the Solitair an excellent choice from a financial perspective.
Together with the Solitair 25, LEMKEN also launches two new electronic control systems for seed drills. The EcoDrill baseline version, which transmits data via a CAN bus system, is operated via a high-resolution 4.8" touchscreen terminal and can be used to control all necessary Solitair 25 functions. The MegaDrill system is LEMKEN's optional control unit for ISOBUS operation via the proven CCI-200 terminal.
The Solitair 25 is being launched initially in a semi-mounted folding version with working widths from four to six metres
