Abstract: Disclosed are a method for metering granular material, such as seeds, fertilizer, or the like, in particular within a distribution unit or sowing unit of a distribution machine or sowing machine as well as a corresponding metering apparatus. By way of the method, the granular material being carried and conveyed by an airflow and/or by its own kinetic energy is directed through a feed tube into a metering unit, where it is guided along an approximately circular arc path and tangentially directed into an outlet tube, which is adjacent to the metering unit and which runs, at least in a section, slightly curved. The granular material being approximately evenly spaced and/or evenly metered and conveyed in an outer area of the curved outlet tube is at least partially carried by the airflow being discharged and exiting the metering unit through the outlet tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to a distribution unit (10) for a granular commodity such as grains (34), fertilizer or the like, in particular a sowing unit (12) of a distribution or sowing machine. The unit (10, 12) comprises a housing (14) having an approximately circular and/or circle-segment shaped inner lateral surface (16), at least one inlet opening (18) for conveyed granular commodities or conveyed grains (34), a conveying device (22) rotating concentrically in the housing (14) for the conveyed granular commodity or the conveyed grains (34) and at least one outlet opening (24) which connects approximately tangentially to the inner lateral surface (16). The conveying device (22) has one or more openings and/or steps on the outer region thereof, which, in a first housing and/or conveying region, form a pocket with the housing inner lateral surface (16) in which the grains (34) are compacted and conveyed circularly by centrifugal forces, supported by the conveying device (22). In a second housing and/or separation region, only one single grain (34) remains in the opening or in the step of the conveying device (22) due to a modified contour of the inner lateral surface (16) of the housing (14) and under centrifugal force influences, while excess grains (34) are separated and conveyed back to the first housing region for re-conveying.

Abstract: In a method for metering granular material, and in a corresponding metering apparatus, the granular material is carried and conveyed by an airflow and/or by its own kinetic energy and directed through a feed tube into a metering unit, where it is guided along an approximately circular arc path and tangentially directed into an outlet tube, which is adjacent to the metering unit and which runs, at least in a section, slightly curved. The granular material is approximately evenly spaced or evenly metered and conveyed in an outer area of the curved outlet tube and is at least partially carried by the airflow being discharged and exiting the metering unit through the outlet tube.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for metering granular material, such as seeds, fertilizer, or the like. By way of the method, the granular material being carried and conveyed by an airflow is directed through a feed tube into a metering unit, and guided therein along an approximately circular arc path and tangentially directed into an outlet tube, which is adjacent to the metering unit. The airflow being guided through the outlet tube and carrying and conveying the granular material, which is being conveyed in approximately equal spacing, is conveyed and/or accelerated within the metering unit by means of at least one conveyor disk or fan disk, which is electromotively driven at a regulatable rotational speed and which rotates approximately concentrically within the metering unit. The drive speed is increased or reduced based on a detected torque of the electromotive drive of the at least one rotating conveyor disk or fan disk.
