Some advantages of our Dry Fertilizer Meters are each of the rows are individually metered by a metering screw. This gives a row to row accuracy of +/- 4%.

Both the 16 row and 24 row meters can have half the rows turned off if so desired.

Meters are constructed of 304 food grade Stainless Steel for added Chemical Resistance.

Included in the Skid

Meter The meter is constructed of 304 food grade stainless steel for added chemical resistance.
Poly Tank & Lid The poly tank and lid are made of a high quality LLDPE plastic with UV stabilizer to increase the life of the tank and lid.
Cradle, Platform & Ladder The cradle frame supports the poly tank, meter and platform.
Hydraulic Motor, Zero-Max Hub & Fan The Zero-Max hub holds the fan so the hydraulic motor can be removed simply, easily and quickly without having to adjust the fan in the field.
Air Release Used to vent the excess air from the hoses before injecting the fertilizer in the ground.
Stainless Steel Screens (Pair) The screens fit into the top of the poly tank to protect the meter from foreign objects.
Air Pressure Gauge & Hose The air pressure gauge shows the operator the amount of pressure the meter is operating under.
