A Better Applicator Through Better Design • Whether you’re seeding or applying herbicides, a Valmar 55 Series Implement Mount Applicator is designed to deliver unparalleled accuracy under a wide variety of ground conditions. Its rugged construction is sturdy enough to withstand the rigours of commercial use. With this level of built in durability it is the right choice for your farm operation. Moreover, it incorporates a number of innovative features designed to make granular application easier, safer and more precise than ever before. Accurate Metering System • The 55 Valmar Series Applicators achieve their accuracy thanks to a ground driven metering system that ensures an accurate application rate regardless of ground speed. They use a 60 speed gear box that allows the application rate to be increased or decreased in increments of 5%. Drive ratio changes can be made at the gear box, eliminating the need to move chains and realign sprockets. For cropping conditions that require a rate change on the go, an optional Alternate Rate Kit can be added to allow an instantaneous rate change. Features For Easier Operation • A handy sight gauge on the 55 Series Applicators allows you to visually check the product level in the hopper. The 55 Series also features a manifold pressure gauge to ensure an adequate air flow is maintained for even product distribution. Finally, a warning light and buzzer are included on the in-cab control unit to alert the operator of any problem with the air supply. Easy Calibration • Calibrating an applicator is necessary to ensure proper flow rates, especially when trying to calculate the correct settings for new products or various sizes of seed and seed mixtures. The 55 Series Applicators make this process easier by allowing the venturi and manifold system to be dropped so that a funnel tray can be inserted for easy collection of product. Use the crank handle to simulate ground travel and establish precise calibration of any product. This also makes emptying the hopper an easy and safe procedure. Easy Maintenance and Cleaning • The 55 Series Applicators feature a number of innovations that make maintenance and cleaning easier. Perhaps most important is the location of the hopper shaft outside the hopper which keeps chemicals away from the bearings and allows them to be serviced even with a full hopper. The outside shaft provides the added benefit of enabling the electric clutch installation to allow half width application on either side of the implement (not available on the 1655). A convenient hopper bottom slide gate enables the rollers to be removed for servicing or cleaning without draining product from the hopper.
