Abstract
Method for a centrifugal spreader to precisely spread particulate material across an entire field with increased application rate, swath width and driving speed by utilizing a tiered disk spinner arrangement fed by a conveyor and guided by a material divider and an adjustable chute moveable in rotation around the spinner disk to achieve a desired symmetrical or asymmetrical spread pattern.
Claims7
A method for spreading particulate material across a field with increased application rate, swath width, driving speed, and control of pattern comprising the steps of:
- providing a conveyor;
- providing a material divider;
- providing a first flow directing member;
- providing a second flow directing member;
- providing a spinner;
- distributing said particulate material in a non-static pattern by:
- conveying said particulate material onto said spinners utilizing said conveyor, said material divider, said first flow directing member, said second flow directing member,
- wherein each of said first flow directing member and said second flow directing member is configured to rotate around a common axis so as to direct flow of said particulate material around said common axis and said spinner, where said common axis is a non-horizontal common axis;
- and
- wherein each of said first flow directing member and said second flow directing member is configured to direct particulate material flow in a configurable shape in separate and distinct locations onto said spinner.
