Simple & reliable
The NDF hydraulic drive Air Compressor is a compact unit that mounts on the frame of the Disc Planter, supplying all the air for the operation of the air bags on row unit, the Automatic Downforce system and other pneumatic controls or functions.
The NDF Air Compressor has been standard on our machines since 2010. All NDF builds rely on Pneumatics and hydraulics and no complex electronics to let you down mid sowing.
How it works
Hydraulic oil use is about 15 litres/minute and is generally running continuously while the NDF planter is in operation.
An Unloader valve controls the 'cut in' (approx. 100PSI) and 'cut out' (approx. 140PSI) pressure on the air pumping side of things. The air tank itself also has a pressure relief valve to ensure the tank does not exceed it's max capacity.
