4.6 METERING ROLLER
The metering roller, Figure 26, is provided in each compartment. There are four
different roller section types: canola, helical, straight fluted (bean) and chick pea. The
helical roller section is designed to accommodate all products for seeding small oil
seeds, all cereals, as well as granular fertilizer. The straight fluted (bean) roller is used
for large pulses as well as granular fertilizer.

There are sections that make up the roller which can be replaced if damage occurs. If
there is a damaged section the product gate above the roller can be closed if there is
still product in the tank.
NOTE: Ensure roller gate is reopened to commence seeding.
There are two colored roller sections on some meters. The red sections have less
displacement than the black sections. When a machine’s air distribution system has
tower heads with different outlets the heads with the lower number of outlets are fed
by red roller sections to ensure even distribution.
