Vicon RO-EDW

• Continuous dynamic "online - calibration" with high frequency communication signal.

• Vicon's unique reference sensor technology: all negative influences are automatically corrected and eliminated, ensuring utmost spreading accuracy even on hill sides. The Vicon reference sensor gives you absolute accuracy, because every kilo counts!

• Load cells in combination with the unique reference sensor:
  - Auto calibrating and continuous weighing system
  - Automatic correction on slopes
  - Automatic correction of shocks, even on rough terrain
  - Automatic speed related dosing system
  - No calibration test needed

• Highest accuracy in all conditions: even spreading quality guaranteed! Save costs and increase quality! 

• The compact FlowPilot 'dashboard' gives you considerably simplified accurate setting and adjustment of application rates. Two hydraulically operated metering plates, each with three discharge openings ensure an equal fertiliser flow from the hopper to the spreading discs.

• The R&D department of the Vicon spreaders has its own spreader competence centre in order to allow continuous testing throughout the year. All tests are carried out according to the strictest international standards and quality requirement.

• The key to accurate spreading is matching fertiliser quality and litre weight with the spreading charts as close as possible. The Vicon RotaFlow checklist helps you to ensure consistent accuracy in all field conditions:
  1. Select fertiliser type
  2. Determine granule size and distribution
  3. Determine litre weight

• Direct access to the most recent test results at: www.viconspreadingcharts.com or download the spreading charts application via the App Store or get it on Google Play

• Vicon offers the TrimFlow system or manual/hydraulic border spreading plate for border spreading. The TrimFlow can be accurately set for all types of fertiliser and for all working widths. Operation is easy, no need to leave the tractor seat. For the RO-M GEOSPREAD, RO-XL, RO-EDW and RO-XXL GEOSPREAD (iDC) models the TrimFlow can even be fitted on the left- and right-hand side of the spreader. 

• With one-side boundary spreading the tractor is driven approximately 2 metres from the field border.

• With boundary track spreading the tractor is driving in the first tramline and is spreading to the border. The distance to the border is the half of the working width.

• The Border Spreading Indicator (BSI) on the standard weighing spreaders (RO-M EW, RO-M W PRO, RO-EDW) indicates which border spreading device is active. For the GEOSPREAD machines this is integrated in the electronics and the active device will be displayed on the control terminal in the cab.

• The RO-XL, RO-EDW and RO-EDW/RO-XXL GEOSPREAD spreaders are also available mounted on a trailer frame.

• A Central Hydraulic Drive is as option available for spreading without PTO shaft, for the RO-XL, RO-EDW and RO-EDW/RO-XXL GEOSPREAD.

• Easy to assemble aluminum hopper extensions are available to increase hopper capacity.

• An easy to fold in and out hopper cover is as option available. Simple to fit! It can be the manual folded hopper cover or the electrical version which can be controlled from the tractor cab.

• Left/right shut off valve for spreading at half working widths is optional available.

• To ensure a consistent flow when spreading low quantities, the RotaFlow system is equipped with a fine application kit. Ideal for spreading low quantities, seeds and slug pellets.

• Delta shaped heavy duty grids are standard equipment of the RO-XL, RO-EDW, RO-EDW/RO-XXL GEOSPREAD (iDC) spreaders.

• Central gear box with 2 input shafts for high and low disc speed settings is standard equipment of the RO-XL, RO-EDW, RO-EDW/RO-XXL GEOSPREAD (iDC) spreaders.

• Hopper emptying kit is optional available to easy get the last fertiliser out of your hopper.

• Easy calibration is done with the optional calibration container.

• Long lifetime LED lighting set is standard equipment for the RO-XL, RO-EDW, RO-EDW and RO-XXL GEOSPREAD (iDC) spreaders.

• The mud guards (option) protect the spreading disc against mud, water etc.

Get your yield optimised with more sections

With the automatic Basic Section Control software on the RO-M EW, RO-M W PRO and RO-EDW weighing spreaders the number of sections will be increased from 2 standard wide sections (left and right) into an even number of 4 metre sections. For example, when spreading on 24 metre with 6 sections for the RO-M EW/RO-M W PRO or spreading on 36 metres with 8 sections for the RO-EDW.

All standard weighing spreaders (without GEOSPREAD) are equipped with one electrical actuator on each spreading disc to control the application rate to provide optimal use of nutrients to the grass or crops. The Basic Section Control of the RO-M EW, RO-M W PRO or RO-EDW adjusts the dosing system by a GPS positioning system to optimise overlap and coverage with a minimum over and under dosing. This results in a better yield, reduction of costs and increase user convenience. The SPREADERcontrol license is needed to do Basic Section Control.

With the AutosetApp you have always the most up to date settings for your weighing spreader available. The AutosetApp is an App (software application) available on the IsoMatch Tellus PRO or IsoMatch Tellus GO+ terminal. The AutosetApp is standard integrated into the IsoMatch GEOCONTROL software. This App connects the terminal directly with the GEOSPREAD weighing spreader and will automatically adjust the spreader according to the settings entered into the App. The AutosetApp will also work in combination with the RO-M EW, RO-M W PRO and RO-EDW, with the exception being for those spreaders the discharge point (letter setting) still needs to be adjusted manually on the spreader itself.

The Vicon fertiliser spreader database with the most up to date spreading charts is always available online. The AutosetApp can connect to the fertiliser spreading database in two different ways. You can connect it to the online database via the IsoMatch Wireless WIFI USB adapter or download the most actual database from the website www.viconspreadingcharts.com on an USB stick and upload the database directly into the IsoMatch Tellus PRO or IsoMatch Tellus GO+ terminal.

For an optimal result with high quality vanes.

Increased use of very hard fertilisers with sharp edges at high flow rates will shorten the lifetime of the vanes. Worn out vanes are creating an unreliable spreading pattern, causing uneven nutrient distribution and potential yield loss.

XHD wearing resistant vanes stand for a long life time and reliable machine. The surface coating of the lift vanes was introduced for this purpose.

The XHD lift vanes are made out of standard Duplex stainless steel, treated with Chromium carbide coating layer to increase their wearing resistance. The Chromium carbide is an extremely hard and corrosion resistant material. It's heated to very high temperatures and sprayed on the vane to create a protective layer. The Chromium carbide increases the wearing resistance, but has no influence on the spreading pattern. The XHD lift vanes provide a high quality spreading pattern and durability for the farmer.
