- the pneumatic seed doser for planters has a compact geometric configuration and robust structure, allowing its installation/assembly in models of agricultural implements, called seed planters, even the most compact ones, in variable amounts depending on the type and size of the seed planter, as well as being structured on these by means of simple fixed support/articulation points configured through its fairing (2) .
- the components of the pneumatic feeder such as fairing (2), main body (3), closing cap (4), rotating disc (5) and electric geared motor (6), as well as their respective subcomponents, have bumps and/or grooves to fit each other, thus enabling the entire assembly of the pneumatic feeder to be done manually through the different fittings, avoiding the use of tools, screws or other fasteners, and facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the feeder.
