What about a multiple seeder?

#1

Hi everyone,
I’m interested in designing a multiple seeder. As a multiple seeder I mean a sort of plate with hundreds of holes that capture seeds, always using the vacuum pump.
To do that I have to discover if the Farmbot’s vacuum pump will be enough to capture multiple seeds at the same time but also if I will have to buy tubs with major section.
Have anyone ever tried to do something similar ?
Can anyone help me with details or personal experience about the Farmbot’s vacuum pump?

Thank you very much for the help :man_mechanic:

In 2021 a team from Liberty University is developing a seed-pod seeding tool for better seeding capabilities.

These are some conceptual CAD models of the new seeder tool that will use pelletized seeds.

879×630

The new seeder tool is an adaptation of the design from a seed drill system. We are still in the prototyping phase.

Cool :star_struck:, thank you @Marc.
Could be possible to know the volume of the seed hopper and the rate of seeds per minute (or seconds) ?
If these information aren’t available could be possible to contact a member of the Liberty University team directly?

Thank you

Hi Marc, do you happen to know where it could be possible to get these CAD models?
