H) Technical Specifications
This machine is equipped with an exclusive design "FILAM System", which has been awarded "Silver Medal" to
Farm Machines Innovation by Ternium Siderar.
It features disks with internal edge and metal-lipped
gauge wheels. This system highly improves the traditional
double-disk row units as regards functionality, durability
and maintenance.
This system aims at optimizing the job performed by the
gauge wheel - cleaning the opener disks, and bettering
furrow bottom uniformity, as well as improving disk and
semi-pneumatic rubber tire lifetime.
When working on extremely wet, clayey, stubble-covered
or weedy soil, blocking may affect the proper operation of
the gauge wheel. When practicing no-tillage, the density
of stubble is higher, so stiff or sharp components in the
soil produce fast wear on the semi-pneumatic tire and
even more wear on the cleaner rubber lip, thus failing to
fulfill its function.
To solve this problem, the new rim helps to keep
wheel/soil contact distant from the opener disk, allowing
better relief of excessive stubble or crumbled soil due to
disks work.
Another innovation is the replacement of the rubber
cleaner lip by a metal one which is more resistant, suffers
less wear, and forms part of the gauge wheel rim, thus
improving the rubber tire useful life and an even and
continuous cleaning job on the disks

On the other hand, traditional disks get in contact during
a very short period of working time. As soon as they start
wearing off, they separate, thus increasing flexion efforts
and forming a W-shaped furrow bottom, which becomes
gradually deeper
(Pictures C and D).

The innovation is about:
New opener disks, conically stamped at external rim,
15.5" diameter, 5mm thickness and internal edge, where
continuous contact between disks is achieved during their
useful life. This contact increases resistance of the set and
relieves it from flexion, producing an even furrow bottom.
Conically stamped at external rim producing less angle of
attack, what diminishes forward ride resistance.
The relief angle resulting from both disks cut is conver-
gent, making a narrower furrow with less crumbling soil.
