The pneumatic sowing system MISTRAL

Division MISTRAL – components is a successful manufacturer and seller of the MISTRAL pneumatic sowing system.

MISTRAL pneumatic sowing system is used for sowing all types of seeds with grain sizes from 1 to 10 mm. Therefore, seeders with this sowing system can be used for sowing not only dense cereals, but also legumes and oilseeds (peas, beans, soybeans, rapeseed, etc.). Specially designed parts are also used in pneumatic sowing systems, which allow simultaneously sow and fertilize with granular fertilizers and crystalline fertilizers at the same time.

The pneumatic sowing system, consisting of a fan for producing compressed air, a doser for precise seed dosing and an injection-mixing and distribution system, is designed for successful implementation in separate sowing machines, but also in machines for reducing pre-sowing soil preparation, including no-till technology. The use of a pneumatic sowing system allows significantly higher yields and also reduces seed consumption.
