Fan Jet Mini

The Fan Jet Mini is designed for ‘restricted width’ spreading (slug pellets, other small seeds).

The Mini has a smaller diameter spinning disc than the Fan Jet Pro Plus, limiting the spread width to 12m. The Fan Jet Mini shares most of the features of the Fan Jet Pro Plus.

There is no spread bias adjustment on the Fan Jet Mini.

FAN JET MINI CONTROLS

VARI-SPEED CONTROL

Vari-Speed control is standard on the Fan Jet Mini, the disc speed can be 'dialled up' or down to adjust the spreading width, for example to match the implement width, or use to broadcast small seeds with minimum damage (rape, turnips, etc).

Application rates are set by a combination of feed roller type and speed of spinning disc, both can be changed on the move from the tractor seat using a simple dial control.

Left hand switch - main power and disc on/off
Left hand dial - disc motor speed control
Right hand switch - feed motor on/off
Right hand dial - disc motor speed control

A simple and effective manually operated electric control is used to instantly start and stop the feed motor e.g. at headlands.

i-CON CONTROL

GPS based touch screen. Rates are automatically controlled in proportion to forward speed for ultimate accuracy, and the machine can apply variable rates according to mapping data.

Seed application rate kg/ha or seeds/m²
Forward speed km/hr
Minimum/maximum forward speed indicator with alarms
Metering unit status (on/off) and alarm
Fan status (on/off) and alarm
Hopper contents kg and low level alarm
Part and full job totals for area (ha), product dispensed (kg) and hours worked
Grand total for area (ha) product dispensed (kg) and hours worked

SPREAD WIDTH

Quoted spread widths are only a guide. The density of spread product diminishes towards the extremity and so an overlap is recommended.
The maximum spread width is determined by:

The maximum spread width is determined by:

Product type & integrity
Product density
Application rate
Forward speed
Wind speed and direction
Disc height from crop canopy

FLUTED FEED ROLLERS

The fluted feed rollers supplied are suitable for most products from ultra-low rates through to high rates of application. The rollers agitate the product to ensure a consistent flow.

The feed rollers meter product through two feed apertures, onto the spinning disc which provides a more even spread pattern left and right than just a single feed aperture.

Alternative feed rollers are available for specialist pellets and seeds.

OPTIONAL CALIBRATION HOPPER

The steel hopper is easily attached to collect the product being spread into a user provided bag for weighing during calibration checks. The calibration aid is supplied as standard with all i-CON models.

WATERPROOF COVERS

Fan Jet’s can be supplied with optional waterproof covers for use when out of work.
