CHRONO, high speed planting technology.

At the forefront of planting, high speed and first-class precision

CHRONO is fully electric and is based on a vacuum seed selection system that has always been the signature of GASPARDO precision planters. CHRONO has perfected seed singulation thanks to an advanced micrometric seed selector.

After exiting the distributor, the seed enters the new pneumatic system and it is led at high speed to the ground avoiding the negative bouncing effect. The photocell integrated on the seed tube controls the fall frequency, while the soft rubber and self-cleaning press wheel holds the seed in the furrow, guaranteeing the best planting accuracy and a controlled depth.

It is possible to plant any type of seed without foregoing precision. According to the seed calibre, weight and shape, the seed selection vacuum and the seed transport airflow can be set independently. Also small seeds such as rape and beet are placed perfectly, as well as those particularly shaped, like sunflower.

Every single seed counts

The vacuum applied to the distributor runs through the holes in the seeding plate and captures the seeds which are then selected by the selector, eliminating possible duplicates. The micrometric adjustment of the selector allows it to adapt to all shapes and sizes of seeds, always offering maximum precision. 

The distributor has been designed to reduce to the minimum components wear and ensure maximum reliability in every working condition. A single electric motor drives the transmission and controls the rotation of the seeding disc, proven to be reliable and maintenance free.
