A method of correction of a dosing device and an agricultural machine to apply bulk materials to perform such method

Abstract

Method for correcting the speed of a dispenser, in particular a method for correcting the speed of a dispenser (1) of an agricultural machine for applying bulk materials at an application site (2), for eliminating transport delays of bulk materials, in particular for applying seeds or fertilizers, where the control system (8) continuously monitors the acceleration or deceleration of the movement of the agricultural machine, and at the moment when the agricultural machine accelerates its movement, or at the moment when it slows down its movement, the control system (8) corrects the speed of the dispenser (1) so that the speed of the dispenser (1) is increased or decreased without delay so that the output of bulk material from the dispenser (1) corresponds to the output of bulk material at the expected future speed of the agricultural machine. The agricultural machine for applying bulk materials comprises at least one dispenser (1) with a motor, a control system (8) and at least one application route (6) with at least one application end (7).
