Seed & Plant with One System!

Seed & Plant with the Bourgault Frame Mounted Seeder!

The Bourgault Air Planter™ Concept

The innovative AP™ System is currently in the conceptual stage of development for the FMS™ Series. The AP™ System is an integrated option for a Bourgault seeding system that provides the ability to seed or plant in a one-pass operation!

Contact your local Bourgault Dealer for availability of the AP™ option with FMS™.

How it Works

The Air Planter™ has a Bulk Fill System that transfers seed from the air tank to the XP Meters™ located on the frame of the drill.

Other than an extra fan, the Bulk Fill System uses no moving parts to gently transfer seed to the XP Meters™. The singulated seed is closely counted by the sensor at the exit of each XP Meter™, displaying the performance of each run on the Apollo Monitor. This allows the Operator to immediately investigate any abnormal performance issues such as skips, doubles, or plugs.

A. The Bulk Fill Fan creates airflow to transfer seed from the Air Seeder Inductor to the XP Meter Reservoirs™.
B. Air pressure is created providing positive pressure at each XP Meter™ and delivers seed to the boot.
C. When the reservoirs on the XP Meters™ are full, the column of seed prevents further air and seed flow.
D. Seed is carried from the Inductor Box attached to the bottom of the PDM Pro™ Metering Auger Sump to the XP Meter Reservoirs™.
